Rilancio questa piccola gemma per chi ama Vim ed il Sudoku. Si gioca a Sudoku dentro Vim e funziona benissimo !

Was about to junk a laptop that was nearly 20 years old cause I thought it didn't work. Then I thought, I'll power it up once more just to be sure.

Turns out the battery is dead, the power cord port has a loose connection, and Linux Mint could no longer update on the machine. But it works! I slapped MX Linux on it and gave it to my youngest, who has been messing with vimtutor since.

I enjoyed this article on #vim #minimalism, even though it's a bit too extreme for my taste. I too try to keep my setup as lean and use as much built-in functionality as possible. But I still think syntax highlighting and LSPs are genuinely useful. #LSP feedback should be entirely on-demand of course. And compiling commits with #fugitive is just so much faster and more flexible than with the #git #cli. But apart from that… right on!

[Annonce] Vous voulez entendre parler de awk, de sed ou de ed ? Ce ne sera pas a priori le sujet principal, mais se sont des outils au #format texte, la surpuissante ligne de commande (#CLI)... comme l'éditeur #Vim et #Neovim avec la rencontre #TupperVim annoncée ce 18 juillet matin pour le 21 soir (c'est le #format « comme il se doit, à l'arrache » sic), par le grand-maître @fabi1cazenave à https://framapiaf.org/deck/@fabi1cazenave@mastodon.social/114873152459784194
NB important : c'est en exclusivité à... Grenoble, en chair & en os (no-visio !).

Vimistes de #Grenoble, oyez ! Ce lundi 21/07, donc totalement à l’arrache (comme il se doit), aura lieu un #tupperVim à la @TurbineCoop.

On va parler de #Vim, #Neovim, #CLI, et toutes ces sortes de choses. Et possiblement du #Quacken, vite fait.

Idéalement, inscrivez-vous sur le lien Meetup, ça fera plaisir à l’inusable Julio ! Mais vous pouvez aussi vous pointer à l’arrache, vous serez toujours bienvenu·e.

Grenoble: TupperVim, Le lundi 21 juillet 2025 de 19h00 à 23h00. https://www.agendadulibre.org/events/32872 #tuppervim #vim #atelier #initiation #séance #neovim #libre #réunion

This presentation covers #Vim 101 to provide an understanding of how Vim works. Want to know why we use :q to quit Vim? You'll learn that and more in this talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxdQJlB65lA

To prevent git from finishing the current commit/operation, you can use :cq in vim to exit with a non-zero status.

(generally, exiting the editor without saving the buffer (:q!) also works, but that is equivalent to providing an empty message, which may be allowed in some scenarios)

Learn Vim progressively

I predict we'll see a nvim fork called 'nvimo'—here's my reasoning:

If we look at vi -> vim -> nvim,
1. we add letters in alphabetical order: first 'm' added to 'vi', then 'n' added to 'vim'
2. we alternate adding letters before and after: 'm' to the end of 'vi', then 'n' to the beginning of 'vim'

Thus, adding 'o' at the end is logically next

A new version of vim is now available. Go update :)
What's new:
- Vim now has the power of lemon.
- It can clean dishes for you .
- you will no longer get stucked in vim.
- Bug fixes.

Yo Dawg I heard you like syntax highlighing

Finally got around to trying NERDtree in #VIM. It might be sacrilegious, but I'm excited to have a mouse mode! I had no idea!

Vim users:

Do you use vi mode in your shell (bash, zsh, fish, etc.), the default bash mode, or something else?

An interesting post by a #vim purist :-)
"why I got rid of all my #neovim plugins"

I wanted to edit some work files in Vim, but in doing so realized that Vim uses straight quotes and apostrophes instead of curly ones (which I needed given the constraints of this project). I added the following to vimrc to make this feasible (note that I have vimwiki installed, so Vim id'd the markdown file I was editing as a vw file):

augroup vimrc_vimwiki
au!
au FileType vimwiki inoremap ' ’
au FileType vimwiki inoremap <leader>' ‘
au FileType vimwiki inoremap <leader>" “
au FileType vimwiki inoremap " ”
augroup END

Voila'! Typing a quote converts it to a closing curly quote; adding the Leader key makes it an opening curly quote!
