nvim-parinfer users, how many spaces is the plug-in to indent when you create a new block? In my case it's using just one, which is very annoying #nvim #parinfer

Have you ever heard of foreground and background jobs in a GNU/Linux or Unix context?

If not:
1. jump into your favorite shell
2. start e.g. vim with `vim foo.rs`
3. now press <CTRL> z
4. go to another directory and do an `ls` or so
5. and now run `fg`
(6. Works in an SSH session too)

Wow. It's crazy that I used this for the first time today after all these years of using Linux. You just never stop learning.

Make your escape key easier to reach by swapping your escape and caps lock keys! This is especially useful for Vim and Neovim editing!

If you use Linux with the X window system, just run this command on startup:

``` sh
setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape
```

I learned how to do an interactive `git add` and `git reset` using `--patch` option.

RTFM actually works when the mind wants to learn.

yay!!!!!

TIL there's an #nvim plugin called "none-ls" which is a fork of null-ls and is maintained by the community. After I got null-ls errors, after a recent nvim upgrade, I swapped null-ls for none-ls and the problem is gone. I assume they are more up2date with API changes

I think I found an easter egg in neovim just by chance, I typed ":smile" as a command and it gave me an ASCII art as the output.
Video below shows the output, I had to record the output because if I took only a screenshot more then half of the output would had been cut off. I know a screen cast is a bit too much just to show an ASCII art, but this is the only way that I can show the whole output.

I'm reading the neovim 0.11 release notes and damn, they are cooking in neovim. Lots of good stuff

Configuring #nvim plugins is a nightmare

Right, am I the only one who wants to main #Bim instead of #Vim or #NeoVim despite it being archived since 2024 and not changed in #ToaruOS since 2023?

#GitHub repo:
https://github.com/klange/bim

Kinda makes me want to write my own Vim-like #TextEditor...

#nvim / #neovim #hilfe:

Ich baue gerade an meiner config.

es geht um die maus.

scheinbar kann ich:

* entweder das mittlere maustaste clipboard nutzen
* oder die maus für bewegungen innerhalb der datei nutzen

weiss eins hier, wie beides machbar ist?

One of the things that is trivial in #emacs that I never could figure out a way to do in #nvim: Keep an org-mode buffer and a pdf-tools buffer open next to each other. Reading the pdf, taking notes in org-mode. Scrolling the pdf buffer with M-Ctrl-V so that I don't even have to leave the notes. Sweet...

So what are people's nvim boot times like?

I think I'll give up my #vim / #nvim journey for now. Just downloaded zed, and it feels much more natural to me.

Maybe vim just isn't for me. After all, I was an emacs-Person in the early 2000s

Here's another one: Unless I'm missing something big, multiple cursors in vscode are way more powerful than visual block mode in #vim / #nvim (because one can move the cursors and have gaps between lines).

OTOH, I've read that one does not need multiple cursors in vim because there are other, efficient ways to achieve certain goals.

So, should I bail out and install the multiple cursors plugin for nvim, or learn the vim way first?

As a die-hard #vim (#neovim nowadays) user, I tried out #helix in earnest today.

And I really liked it! It's the first new #editor in years that has survived for more than 1h with me. It's very fast & intuitive. The menu system helps a lot with learning. The #lsp integration is seamless and almost zero-config (probably 100% for others).

Is there any #kickstart #nvim equivalent for #i3 / #sway ? #configuration #linux #desktop

v2.1.0 of my #evangelion #neovim #theme is released! updates include contrast fixes, color consistency, tweaks, and typo fixes

https://github.com/xero/evangelion.nvim/releases/tag/v2.1.0

I'm officially done with #nvim. #helix is my new editor.

Why? Rust analyzer broke and gives awful results and shitty completion in general. This is not RA's fault as every client I've tried (vscode and helix) worked flawlessly.

I'm tired of constantly chasing basic functionality that feels like it's done with glue paperclips.

Plugin authors are legends that make using neovim a breeze. Neovim maintainers are exceptional and make a fantastic piece of software.

I'm just tired of the fragility.
