Does anyone know of a #text #editor, which runs in a #Linux #terminal, and uses only the characters: lowercase a-z, 0-9, comma, and period, in commands?

I want such an editor to ease my life on #Termux in Android, because these characters are the only ones immediately accessible on a standard Samsung keyboard, without the use of symbol keys.

And no, #vim doesn't fit the bill, because it needs Esc, ":" and "$"; #emacs and #nano are out because of the Ctrl and Alt keys, conspicously absent from mobile keyboards.

Ummmm... fascinating read... a bit about the roots of the popular software... history inlined... #vim enthusiast, check it out.

Vim tip for today

The `!!` in normal mode lets you pass lines of code through the external CLI. I use it mostly to put the output of the external command into the current buffer. For example, `!!date` inserts the current date and time.

Every once in a while I get super fascinated by Emacs and Org-mode.

Please help me out the rabbit hole.

A new plugin implements daily Vim Golf challenges: https://github.com/vuciv/golf

The goal is to change some text with the shortest number of keystrokes possible.

It's still quite early in development and there are a few bugs here and there, but it might be an interesting project to follow.

Vim tip for today

Execute command on all lines that match the pattern. Example: `:g/#/d` to delete all lines that contain the # character (for example, a comment).

:g/ - execute command on all lines that match the pattern
#/ - pattern to match
d - delete line

Does anyone on #obsidian (Or works with markdown notes in #vim / #emacs) have a good system for sharing notes with others when they have embedded images?

vilken IDE är det eg som gäller för python?

kör python på fritiden o mest då IntelliJ eftersom jag är van vid den från jobbet. Men värt att t ex lära sig vim ordentligt? O confa den för python
då skulle jag kunna utveckla via serverterminalen oxå, slippa gitta runt koden

Ended up spending some time today writing a tiny #python program to pull down all the branches and PRs for a given repo to find what branches aren’t connected to a PR. Used just #vim with a #black and #pylint BufWritePre/Post. Felt like the old days!

If you want to use vscode like remote development with neovim, you could do the following:

1. On your devcontainer run the following:
`nvim --listen 0.0.0.0:7777 --headless`

2. On you host machine run this:
`nvim --server 127.0.0.1:7777 --remote-ui`

There’s a plugin, which encapsulates this and does a whole lot more: https://github.com/amitds1997/remote-nvim.nvim

It uses devpod as a dependency.

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
```

You can repeat the built-in f/F and t/T motions by using , and ;

If you'd like to extend these keybindings to repeat other kinds of targeted movement, you could try vim-remotions: https://github.com/vds2212/vim-remotions

Ooh, vim actually makes a way better manpager than whatever else usually shows the man stuff, it even works with links and everything :D so ctrl+] and it also rewrites the q shortcut to just quit, it's really nice.

```
export MANPAGER='nvim +Man!'
```
