@jorgee Thanks!
In the meantime next month, I would love to do the #Vim #carnival again, if you want to join 😉
October was not great ...

Do I know #emacs evil-mode or #vim users who use home row modifiers or otherwise don't use modifier keys on their keyboard?
I wonder how I should remap some things. Emacs's M-x for example was much nicer to type as the sequence ESC x -- before ESC was taken over by the vim key bindings for good reason.
Not sure about leader key, because for some Control-based shortcuts I would still need to hold the control home row key and would prefer not to. So who gets to be the leader key then :)
@iamreinder @hyuchia so true. I've used #vim for over 20 years now. I've tried a couple of times to test drive other editors and always come back to Vim (now #neovim)
The editor with vim mode that most surprised me is #zed 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: https://github.com/robenkleene/veep.vim
Did you hear that Notepad++ has apparantly been comprimized by state sponsored hackers?
So that's great.
I have it on my work computer to edit my personal website. Guess I'm switching to Vim. Hopefully it's not compromised.
I'm lookin for a EU based store where I can get a #Vim Cheat sheet mug.
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
Someone actually asked so here's my take on the ancient holy war:
If you want a fast text editor with syntax highlighting that's good for fast editing and stuff like that, then #vim is probably for you.
If you want an integrated environment that you can customize and extend from the ground up to do almost anything you want and don't mind that you'll probably never learn all it does then #emacs is probably for you.
Neither is bad, they're just different tools for different purposes.
I'm starting to use #Vim. Does Someone knows some tips or something like that?
(i don't know if i writed that correctly)
My notes from January 2026: started a new job at Ghost, published a WebAssembly module, set every Vim configuration option, and applauded general strikes. https://evanhahn.com/notes-from-january-2026/
Dừng biến Vim thành IDE cồng kềnh, bạn đang làm sai mục đích! Vim/Neovim đẹp ở sự tối giản—chỉ bạn và code. Nếu cần "gói đầy đủ", hãy dùng IDE. #Vim #Neovim #Lập_trình #Phát_triển_mã #Simplicity #Programming
