If you'd like to prank a fellow Vim user, send them a text file with `vim: revins` at the bottom and ask them to type some text in it... https://vimhelp.org/options.txt.html#%27revins%27

Unless they've turned off their `modeline` setting, something like this should happen:

#vim #neovim

Gruvbox feels like coming home for Christmas.

#nvim #vim #gruvbox

Righto!!

#linuxadmin #tool #vim #emacs #opensource

TIL: #vim #neovim has a built in command "TOhtml" which exports your code to a webpage you can share or print. https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua.html#vim.tohtml

Child labelled Vi: Why are we hiding from the police, daddy? Daddy hidden around the corner: Because we use vi son, they use emacs. <Cop car patrolling>

Also this is incredibly useful info:

Normally I do all filtering in external scripts, even things like comments or snippets, mostly Python or awk, but repeated regexp in place makes more sense as vim9script.

#vim

You: I need emacs to process this file!
Me: We have emacs ^[dba vim at home.

vim9script
# Changes all leading '\t' to ' '
def g:Detab()
while 1
try
execute ":%s/\\v^( *)\t/\\1 /g"
catch /Pattern not found/
break
endtry
endwhile
echo "Detabbed!"
enddef
nnoremap <F6> :call Detab()<CR>

(put this in your .vimrc, reload, or in a file and :so FILE )

#vim #emacs

So, yesterday I wrote my first #vim script to make handling Markdown-templates easier. I was so proud of myself, I even wrote a blog post about it. 🚀

And the minor bug I discovered in my script has already been solved thanks to some great insight by @scy ❤️

In the age of GenAI and privacy abuse, open-source software and everyone who is contributing to building, maintaining, and supporting FLOSS are real heroes. Today, I thank all of them on this #ilovefs day.

I appreciate keeping software free so everyone can afford and use it. I love #Vim, #Linux, and #FreeBSD very much.

Thank you.

PS: Please share your gratitude with the #ilovefs tag.

I completely lost the scheme article I was planning to talk about after tagging all the schemers x_x I found and wrote another #vim/#emacs personal at least x_x

in eshell, issuing vi drops you into this interesting fantasy mode. It’s quite funny to use !! within vi within emacs. Consider using it instead of #vim or #doom.

@screwtape I never thought to try that! So I checked it out, Eshell actually has a vi aliased to the command eshell-exec-visual, which goes through the trouble of creating a Term-mode buffer running a terminal process of whatever command you specify (e.g. “vi”) and titling it the name of the process (e.g. “*vi*“) for you. You can do the same thing with less, or top, probably also fish shell, though I haven’t tried it.

You know what would be really funny? If you modified the find-file command to open every file in a Vi process via eshell-exec-visual!

But ultimately, it is like running the man command in Emacs, which runs Less in a similar way. I usually prefer my applications to be written in Emacs Lisp (like viper or woman), and not run a compiled C program in a separate process controlling Emacs with ANSI terminal control codes.

#tech #software #emacs

Instead of working on my parser I wrote a silly #vi #emacs #eshell useage #medium post.
#development #environment #lisp #programming

The gist is that in eshell, issuing vi drops you into this interesting fantasy mode. It's quite funny to use !! within vi within emacs. Consider using it instead of #vim or #doom.

Unreadably dark blue comment vi in emacs. A simple lisp program that reads and sorts a list, then quits. The invocation being done in vi, visible at the bottom, is !!printf "(1 3 2)" | sbcl --noinform --load sort-numbers.lisp the output from a previous attempt is visible in the comment.

Show off! 😜 ...ah, consistent reminders are everywhere, and that not letting me off :)

I've become a heretic. I started to like #Emacs more and more. Don't get me wrong I like the simplicity of #Vim/#Vis, but #Emacs can be modified to be anything you want. I also like #Lisp.
