Luke's Tech Tips TM

you can save up to 2/3 keystrokes with `alias e='vim'` in .bashrc

That's the thing i like about vim - using it for a long time and now i have some new good ideas for my own vimrc from someone who loves it too :) there is always something that is usefull that you didnt think about

I felt like a pro adding "set number" to mi vimrc and then your video... Damn.

I can't seem to find the video where you explain how to get latex live preview without the plugin by piping the file to zathura

Assuming you don't run the compiler script from the command line too often, have you considered simply using after/ scripts in vim to set makeprg appropriately?

To address the "remove trailing whitespace" option: Doesn't this destroy your markdown files? Or do you not use the double space linebreaks?

The remove trailing whitespace command has a flaw. When saving the position of the cursor changes to where a whitespace was replaced. Is there a fix/workaround for that? Couldn't figure one out by myself.

Thank you so much, this is awesome

yes it is... it could be said im an older user... cos, i started with line numbers as a kid and still need them now

how the hell do you use deadkeys in st? or in urxvt. I still couldnt figure how enable dead keys on the simpler terminals

another nice way to detect trailing whitespace and other whitespace you don't want is set listchars=tab:>~,nbsp:_,trail:. set list this will highlight tabs, non-breaking whitespace and trailing whitespace. the only downside is that you have to switch it over to tabs when you work with code where tabs are used set listchars=tab:\ \ ,nbsp:_,trail:. set list

Main issue with someone starting fresh with vim - they tend to install bunch of plugins/using others vimrc files without actually knowing what these settings do. Afterwards, without any organization file become so cumbersome that sometimes not only the owner of this file could not understand it, even daily vim users may wonder why they use some of deprecated or unused settings that hogs program boot time and just being unnecessary. (Also i don't know who wrote all that up ☝️ikr im pretty bad at english)

[ Emacs User Alert! ] The biggest problem with Vim keybindings that I could think of is that it really gets deep in your brain, and you'll not be able to effectively edit text on other software or platform without constantly reminding yourself NOT to use 'hjkl' to navigate or press 'i' and 'ESC' to hop in and out of Insert Mode. While with Emacs bindings all the navigating shortcuts are prefixed with Ctrl or Meta (Alt) and can be ported to different platforms once you get used to it!

@HiPhish

5 жыл бұрын

​@@rolandicus1771 1) Neovim has removed all the code for all the dead systems that wouldn't be able to run Vim anyway. 2) Neovim can be retrofitted with other languages without recompiling it every time 3) Lua as an alternative to VimScript 4) Neovim separates the interface from the editor 5) Neovim has an API 6) Neovim does it better :P About 1), this removes tons of code that doesn't do anything anyway. I know they also replaced some parts of Vim's own code with libraries, which should at least in theory make it more maintainable, but you will have to ask the devs about details. About 2), if you want to write a Vim plugin in for example Python you need to compile Vim with Python embedded. That's not a big deal for something as common as Python, but it is a big problem for other languages. Either your package manager offers an option, or you will have to get all the dependencies and compile it yourself. And not just that, now support for that language is tied to Vim's development, adding yet another maintenance burden. In Neovim support for other languages can be just retrofitted. Want to write a plugin in your obscure pet language? Just hook up the API client and you're good to go. I even wrote my own for Racket (a type of Lisp), you can find the whole list here: github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects#api-clients This alone removes tons of bloat and maintenance nightmare out of the editor. I can update and maintain my Racket client completely at my own pace instead of being tied down to Neovim's release schedule. About 3), VimScript is not going anywhere, and it's a good language for what it is meant to be: a configuration language for a text editor. But if you want to do more complicated stuff, Lua is a better choice. About 4), just as support for plugins in other languages can be retrofitted, so can a GUI be retrofitted. The GUI is really just a plugin. Lots of interesting stuff, you can even embed Neovim into another editor or IDE. So even if you are forced to use a certain IDe at work, you could just embed Neovim into it and have the real things instead of an approximation. github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects#gui About 5), this is the killer feature for plugin authors. If you have ever written a plugin for Vim you will know how to accomplish the simplest of tasks you will have to go through a series of rituals. The API gives a set of primitive building blocks to work with, so you no longer need to sacrifice a virgin goat on a full moon to set an option in a buffer that is not the current one. Even if you don't write full plugins, the API can allow you to write much nicer mappings. I really regret not making Info.vim just Neovim-only and using the API. About 6), that one is intentionally provocative :) But seriously, all the features Vim copied, it copied in an incompatible and worse manner. There is no reason to use JSON over MessagePack, it's slower and uses more memory. People who have worked with both editors agree that Neovim's way is easier to work with.
