Does anyone use #gvim rather than #vim or a GUI for #neovim?

I've been looking at it but it seems like it would get in the way to me. Almost like it doesn't fit like its a weird place between terminal based development and using a gui IDE. Especially since terminal emulators now can do a lot more like italics and true color support, etc.

#FOSS #softwareDevelopment #coding

#gvim #arm64. A few steps down the rabbit hole and the gating factor seems to be availability of #windows #github CI machines for open source projects. All of the tool maintainers who maintain things for free aren’t going to jump on windows ARM until github opens that door. This seems like a huge opportunity for #microsoft to drop the ball here ;). @dsyme ?

can’t complain if this is my biggest problem in life, but just switched laptops and discovered there’s no win-Arm64 build for #gvim. #arm64. how is this possible?

久しぶりに Bash スクリプトを書いた。ターミナルからファイルを開くのに gvim の新規インスタンスで開くか、既存インスタンスの新しいタブで開くか、はたまた既存インスタンスのアクティブタブ上でスプリット画面に開くかをオプションで選べるようにした。これでそれなりに IDE っぽくなった気がする（気のせいｗ）

#Bash #gvim #スクリプティング

Wrote a Bash script that lets me open a file in a new gvim instance or in an existing gvim instance. In the latter case, I can choose whether to open it in a new tab or split the existing tab. It took me a full day to complete it, and I'm pretty happy with the end result.

Is there a feature of vim that numbers paragraphs?

GVim – it looks like Windows 3.11 and it is a advanced text editor

@ilikepi ah ha! `set guifont=Monospace` restored the font to it's default size. No clue which recent package update may have broke that.

#gvim #fedoralinux

Oh god, why has the gvim font suddenly increased by 2x after an update?! How do I fix this?!

Up until 4 years ago or something #Vim (or #GVim) was my code editor of choice. But when having to work with #PHP #WordPress I preferred #VSCode, which has become my main editor.

With Vim I could never get IntelliSense to work properly so I dropped that.

Currently want to look into working with (Mac)Vim again. But my #vimfiles are sorely outdated (8-12 years or so!). Time for a fresh start. Used to copy plugin's etc. to my vimfiles, but is there a better way these days to also stay up-to-date?

Why has no one told me about middle mouse button #X11 #register access in #vim #gvim ? Aaargh!

MacVim Protip: For those who find #MacVim's default font size and colour schemes utterly unfuckingreadable, you can change these in your ~/.gvimrc file.

For example:

set guifont=Monaco:h18
colorscheme blue

Which produces a much larger, and visually-distinct, buffer.

There are other fonts, sizes, and colour schemes.

You can list schemes installed from your shell via:

$ ls /usr/share/vim/vim81/colors | grep .vim

See: https://linuxhandbook.com/vim-color-schemes/

You might be able to list fonts from within vim via:

:set guifont=*

... which is supposed to display a fonts chooser but fails to do so for me.
