And I've honestly never doubted them about that! Because I'm already strapped for time, I never really looked into how it worked (even from a basic explanation)... Because ... "When the f would I have time to learn that anyway." That's why I'm really glad that Tris makes these videos because now at least I kind of understand the basic concept! I hope I find the time to learn it

Paolo RedaelliWhite (neo)vim themes I finally found two color schemes (aka "themes") for (neo)vim that do have a white background. Because yes, sometimes, somewhere you may just need a white background. White like paper.

EllaneThe speedometer on my car goes up to 200 kmph. Speed limits near me range from 10 to 110. I see the power potential daily on my dashboard and sometimes I watch what formula 1 drivers can do at high speeds, but I don’t go there. I could, but I don’t. It’s okay to drive a vehicle without ever pushing it to its limits. <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#obsidian</a> <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emacs</a> <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/org" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#org</a> <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim</a>

Lukas RotermundI recently stumbled across vim's `norm` on Sylvan Franklin's YouTube video - what a great feature!For example, converting PHP object initialisation to method chaining: `:'<,'>norm 0dt-f;x==`For most of the cases where I use `norm` now, I used to type macros. Really a game changer.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/php" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#php</a>

Wolf<a href="https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@b0rk</a> I am absolutely not telling you what to do. I'm giving you a datapoint. I am a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vim</a> / <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NeoVim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoVim</a> expert. I have used Vim for ... hmm, maybe it's decades. Not sure. I use Vim key-bindings everywhere that I can. I have given talks and made YouTube videos about Vim.I’m always trying new things. For instance, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustLang</a>. One thing I thought I'd try is the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HelixEditor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HelixEditor</a>. For a lot of people, and you may well be one, Vim/NeoVim is the right choice. If it is, I won't try to convert you. But my experience so far with Helix has been so positive, that even after decades of Vim being my favorite, it has been replaced by Helix.I still use Vim wherever that's the right choice, for instance remote machines I don't control. But editing actual code in Helix using that language's LSP and with tree-sitter is absolutely delightful. Even the fact that Helix isn't a “finished” editor doesn't dissuade me.At work, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> is our main language, and we all have PyCharm. I use the Vim bindings via <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IdeaVim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IdeaVim</a>. I prefer Helix even to that.So there's your datapoint. Maybe someone you know well and trust has an opinion that sheds more light on the two editors.

Christian MayerWhoever thought that we need a VISUAL mode in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VIM</a> is a d**h**. And with d**h** I mean dickhead. I don't need this shit on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Debian</a>. Why is VISUAL mode on by default? Whenever I need to mark something with the mouse in VIM it's because I want to copy out of a large file. This is not working when VISUAL mode is active. Why would anyone even want to use a mouse when you are in VIM? This is stupid by default.

You weren't doing anything special right before exiting vim, except maybe saving, so you should be in normal mode already. 🧐

sudonemI am not a software developer. I like to tinker. More so recently as I've been really digging in to Python.Although VSCode is fine (really) and probably the right choice for almost everyone - I have to say that fighting through the (often frustrating) hump of getting nvim up and running as an IDE has been immensely satisfying. Especially when paired with tmux.It doesn't hurt that working that way offers the major bonus of making you feel like a serious l337 haxx0r once you start getting into the rhythm and fully commit to vim motions.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NeoVim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoVim</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nvim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nvim</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDE</a> #1337 <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Nerdgasm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nerdgasm</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/tmux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tmux</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LazyVim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LazyVim</a>
