i am glad i found your channel. i use linux since 20 years private, professional since 15 years. but i see here so much stuff i never looked for, cool stuff. thx for sharing!

Because of DT and Luke Smith, I tried nnn and ranger. Because of Brodie Robertson, I tried lf. Now I am trying vifm because of DT. I have come full circle.

If you're interested in something similar to lightline and maybe even leaner, there is also vim-crystalline which is simple and highly customizable.

As for vifm, I recently switched to ranger (cool bulkrename feature made me do this). Looks like there is vim plugin for ranger too. Great news!

Thx for these, bro! I love lightline, too.

Thank you, Derek. I hadn't heard of these powerline clones.

css-color is really nice. Thanks for the video I guess it's time to manage my plugins again, been hoarding some unnecessary ones

The real power of vimwiki comes through when you use its built in ability to export your vimwiki to static html pages. You can make your self a nice personal wiki that you can view and interact with inside your web browser. Its kinda like a lightweight static site generator. I live in vimwiki daily.

I used vimwiki for about 6 years. Very useful plugin. Got 17Mb of text in vimwiki directory. Keep it in a private git repo. Your video made me start thinking to change all pages into *.md format. After all, one can always use pandoc to get htmls or pdfs.

For anyone looking for a sane way to store/version control your wiki... use Gitlab Why Gitlab as opposed to Github? 1. Gitlab allows use of `[[_TOC_]]` expansion to automatically insert a table of contents 2. Gitlab allows nested directory structures and provides a built in navigation sidebar. Github just dumps all md files into a single directory for navigation

Only 1 plugin by the master of vim-plugins Tim Pope? Shame on you! Here are some recommendations: 'tpope/vim-repeat' - so you can use the dot command for plugin-mappings (integrates with the other two plugins listed here and vim-surround for example) 'tpope/vim-commentary' - for quickly commenting/uncommenting lines, paragraphs, visual selections etc. 'tpope/vim-unimpaired' - a bunch of sensible mappings that make your life easier (and might as well be part of vim by default), e.g. toggling ignorecase, hlsearch, and many more They are all very lightweight and unobtrusive, so no harm in just adding them in my opinion.

@DistroTube the vifm.vim plugin is installed by default with vifm on Arch, it's located in /usr/share/doc/vifm/vim ... it's just not in the rtp, it used to be autoloaded with vim's rtp but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore (not sure why) :)

Great video (again!). Have you played with Pywal for auto generating color schemes based on your wallpaper?

I am using Joplin for note taking/wiki purpose. I like it's synchronization feature.

Usually when playing around with HTML colours (or most CSS styles), I'd play around in the Inspect tool rather than on the text editor. Only once I'm happy with the results would I copy over the style work from inspect tool back to the text editor. Why would you be editing stylesheet in text editors?

I've been using lightline for several months now, and it is indeed very nice. Since I've used vifm ever since you introduced it to me, Derek, I'll be giving it a look, too. Many thanks!

I use vim-airline for the status bar, and I also have colored the hex background but I don't know how I did it, I didn't install any of those plugins to do that specifically :D

Derek, or anyone, (I realize this is off topic per this video but thought I'd ask people with more experience) I have a question about the command curl. I have Manjaro 19.02 and am brand new to Arch Linux. When I'm in the terminal I type 'curl getnews.tech' it displays perfectly. But of course, it scrolls off the page to the last line. I'd like to pipe the output to 'more' so it displays one page at a time. However, If I use, 'curl getnews.tech | more' It grabs the news but the output inserts the command character for escape rather than displaying the correctly formatted text . Is there an ARCH related issue thing I'm missing? Thanks for your time. PS - I can pipe to more just fine in Ubuntu (Debian) with no problems.

love nnn.vim thks!

I run vifm similar to ranger outside of vim and I always have loved it. But I got mine colorschemed. I don't really see a need for a vifm explorer plugin inside vim; I suppose of that's all you do is work with config files which is what all the WTM people seem to do all the time. lol.

Derek, I think you are hung up on the same problem I was. I use an 'full fat' IDE and I like it. When I need to edit a file quickly from the terminal I use vim. I never open a single file in the IDE, that would be overkill. I cant compare the two programs, they are for two different purposes. Think of emacs as your IDE, think of vim as your editor, you dont have to choose one, choose both. vimwiki looks like a poor mans version or orgmode, use that instead of compromising just for the sake of picking a side in a 40+ year old war.

I didn't vim wiki, thanks for the presentation. there is also a ranger plugin for ranger fm, what is very vim like file manager.

I love vifm, but it was not until I leveraged --servername and --remote-tab that I reached full satisfaction level. I can keep browsing in vifm and send selected files to a running vim instance. You can add a binding in vifm to open files in vim with a custom --servername in a new terminal instance, e.g. ,-. Then, another mapping that opens the file without a new terminal, but also with the same --servername parameter as well as --remote-tab parameter, e.g. `,-t`. Every time you hit that second binding on a selected file, it opens in a new tab of your running vim instance. Works so great! EDIT: just found out the hard work that it does not work with neovim...doh! But here is an additional tool that covers this use case with neovim: github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote

With quickmenu, I’ve built out a custom syntactic set of menus that has made vim an even more powerful editor now that I don’t have to slave away typing commands or commiting them to memory.
