Thanks to @hyde for the blog concept, and immediate apologies if you get trapped in a #hellthread! 😄

So I was writing this ed(1) wrapper editor. To have fancier search and custom commands, all with a nice immediate Web GUI.

And then I realized nvi(1) exists.

#vi #vim @ed1conf

:set ai

has NOTHING to do with A.I.

#vi #vim

#vi experts (and #vim / #nvim #NeoVim ),

What's the difference between the 0 command and the | command?

Is it just that | can take a numeric argument?

If you are seriously thinking about learning #Vim / #Neovim, do yourself a favor and proceed as follows:

1. Grok ed(1).
2. Grok vi(1).
3. Ask yourself whether you really need anything ed(1) and vi(1) don't provide.

If your answer to step 3 is "yes", go ahead. But first, do steps 1 and 2.

Here is how to do step 1: Read the man page (it's rather short), read "Ed Mastery" by @mwl (those two steps are interchangeable and even parallelizable), then use it consistently.

Here is how to do step 2: Read the man page (it's rather short as well, though not as short as ed's), then use it consistently.

Also, have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/1220118.

#vi #ed

@thorstenzoeller @mwl I learned vi from either a Stephen Kochan Unix book, or Unix for the Impatient.

There's also a nice book on Vim, from long before the slop infestation:

#vi #vim

SOLUTION: @gumnos came up with the idea of piggy-backing :nohl onto control-l for refresh:

nmap <C-L> :nohl<CR><C-L
imap <C-L> <Esc>:nohl<CR><C-L>a

Hey #vim wizards,

The number one reason I don't use search more freely when editing is that all the highlights triggers my #CDO a little bit, and :nohl is a little clumsy to type in a hurry.

I wanted to map :nohl to an easy-to-press keybind, like ctrl-/, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Any ideas?

" map Ctrl-/ to :nohl
nmap <c-Slash> :nohl<CR>
imap <c-Slash> <Esc>:nohl<CR>a

I decided to make that list anyway.

I had the weirdest nightmare this night. In it, I was seriously considering using a #vi #vim family editor. Damn, I even installed one and started customizing it. Yikes!

Rich @siegel , I love you.

Updating now, will report back.

Basic movement & things seem fine.

There's a lot of missing keys in it, some of which I may just be able to rebind in keys anyway.

:wq works! (closes the tab, not the editor)
