Editor predeterminado para todos los usuarios del mi sistema GNU/Linux... y al que no le guste, que se joda 😆

#gnu #linux #editor #neovim #nvim #vim

Terminal donde se ve el contenido del archivo /etc/environment, donde se ha cargado la variable de entorno EDITOR con /usr/bin/nvim

Got woken up at 6:00 today by a neighbours alarm, so here's my Weekly Brain Dump nice and early!

- Released a gem update after 7 years
- Started building an expense tracker
- Checked out kiwi.nvim for my wiki needs
- Published my first Taylor Monthly

I am so grateful for all the opensource software that good people gave for free. Where would I be without a vim/nvim in a tmux ? It's just overwhelming to think about that. So to everyone giving time and knowledge to others, thank you so much.

@bojidar_bg I doubt it'll ever happen. I just thought I'd put it out there. While I'm a Neovim user, I don't know anything about developing it. I'm now wondering if it would be possible set it up so that the current functionality could be remapped to an alternate keyboard layout.

Imagine a world where it's as easy as downloading the source and then on the compile step you just add —dvorak or —colemak to the switches.

New Text Editor Idea: Dvorim (Dvorak + Neovim).

Vi (also Vim and Neovim) are powerful modal editors. But they're designed around QWERTY. So if you wanted to change to Dvorak, then the navigation keys hjkl are no longer convenient. The “home row" keys get moved. The little changes prevent switching to Dvorak

Dvorim would be an interesting editor. We have the 50 years of experience since Vi was created to improve the modal editing experience with a better keyboard layout

@ctietze I use some variant of HRM: same but on the bottom row. In , which I use for programming, SPC is my leader key, and I love it. In i use C-, M- normally. When I first tried emacs, I used evil-mode, but found it cumbersome for non-vim-y stuff, so after a while I decided to ditch it. My main usage is , and capturing whith <leader> (=SPC) was much nicer than with C-

I’m moving to #neovim from #vim and have been surprised about the node_modules-ness of it all. To install telescope, it seems like I need 4-5 other plugins. Am I misreading? This seems like left-pad but make it editor. Am I doing it wrong?

@iamreinder @hyuchia so true. I've used for over 20 years now. I've tried a couple of times to test drive other editors and always come back to Vim (now )

The editor with vim mode that most surprised me is the vim mode commands cover a broad range, more than I expected.

The veep plugin lets you pipe any visually selected content to an external command. This can be an existing external tool, or a script that you write for your own needs: github.com/robenkleene/veep.vim

Zettelkasten the Right Way with Neovim
Turn Neovim into Obsidian: See backlinks, create notes from unresolved links, and rename headings safely. Markdown-oxide setup shown with LazyVim, boosts Zettelkasten workflow!

More on the adventure:

I had been using for a while now and one of the things that cursor just does better than everyone else is its suggestions/autocompletes.

Neovim can do those via the plugin but honestly, going back to copilot feels soooo bad, its suggestions are just not that good.

So, with out of the picture, I ended up trying and so far so good! Suggestions for sure seem way better 🎉

I’m curious: for cursor movement in vim do you prefer hjkl or arrow keys?

Let‘s do a poll.

Feel free to comment your reasons on why you prefer one over the other and boost to reach more people.

Edit: this is more evenly split than I expected.

Do I have Neovim followers who work with RPM Spec files? I'm looking for testers for tree-sitter-rpmspec.

@LorenzoAncora #NotepadPP users might also seriously want to consider the option of switching to some other #TextEditor / #IDE they can trust such as #IntelliJ, #Neovim, #Eclipse or #VSCodium

You know what would be amazing?

Some kind of OS-level overlay that would let you use vi movement and editing keys in any program.

I'm talking about going beyond something like having custom QMK keystrokes to use hjlk as the arrow keys (which is super neat, to be clear). I'm talking about a little pop-up that lets you enter something like A and it hits the End key for you, or Rapple^[ and it types 'apple[del][del][del][del][del]`

Am I the only one that thinks reaching for those special keys on the keyboard is a total drag? Especially on laptops? XD

Soooo, Ive started to use multiple cursors on Xcode because it doesn’t have ex commands obviously and I don’t get it.

Sure it’s a neat feature if you don’t have ex commands, what I don’t get it is why some people wants them on #Neovim

i decided to finally build my own #neovim config. i've been using #lazyvim until now, so i thought copying it's plugin configs, options and autocommands would be easy :nkoHide:

it's much more complicated then i thought...
