@nixCraft I'd do #EVi because #Vim has been #enshittified with #AIslop!

#NeoVIM on #Debian after I upgraded a Debian machine is coming up with some very poor colours when syntax highlighting is turned on.

It turns out that the default colour scheme is a lot plainer than it used to be in the days of syncolor.vim. Changing the colour scheme to something non-default like 'shine' shows that the syntax highlighting is all still working. It's just mostly picking from a palette of black and white in the default colour scheme.

FINAL EDIT: We've been making good progress with EVi! We've fully settled on version 9.1.0 with no AI code, we're on IRC @ #evi irc.oftc.net, we've gained a lots of popularity and we've been working on fixing tests and removing platforms that are deemed exotic with other cleanups. Thank you to everyone who has supported us this week!!!

maybe we can get a group of people behind this??

Fuck AI.

In this meme we see an elderly veteran in a dress uniform looking emotional and on the verge of tears, with the text that reads: "Me, having fought in the Vim–Emacs wars, seeing juniors vibe-code in Cursor”.

Well, little dude snuck into my office. He was bashing on my keyboard and managed to quit #vim. I guess the whole infinite monkeys theory applies. 😀

@MGAceman

I've been hit a couple of times by Control+Q and Control+W. The latter is habitual for either switching windows in VIM or erasing the last word in a terminal session.

C'mon #vim folk, REPRESENT!!

#vi #nvi #neovim #nvim

Couldn't seem to get #VimClassic to compile on #FreeBSD.

But then I realized the only thing I used it for is sncli, because it does something funny with the terminal when it hands it off to nvi, such that the cursor becomes invisible. But then, it's just a !reset to fix it, so I might as well just stick with nvi. ;)

Fun fact: The :x command was added to ex/vi in 1980 because :wq did too much. Horton copied the name from hed.

Dear #vim, darlin',

If you're gonna read my \.exrc, do me the kindness about not complaining about valid ex/#vi options! XD

rld@Intrepid:~$ vim
Error detected while processing /home/rld/.exrc:
line    4:
E518: Unknown option: iclower

Press ENTER or type command to continue

(I know, I know, just use a .vimrc. I'm gonna. ;)

(Also, just FYI, I haven't reverted to vim. I use vi and ed most of the time, and jump into vim for a very few use cases, which escape recollection at just this moment 😆)

@rettichschnidi @adi

I was very fond of :up[date], which saves only if changes were made, but that's #vim (and descendants)-only, not #vi.

I'll see if my muscle memory allows me to rewrite ":q; ok then, :wq" as ":x" instead. 😄

So I was writing this ed(1) wrapper editor. To have fancier search and custom commands, all with a nice immediate Web GUI.

And then I realized nvi(1) exists.

#vi #vim @ed1conf

Trying out #nvi-1.81.6 on #Debian as my primary editor on my work box for a bit.

At first, I was sad that I could no longer

some_command |vi

like you can with (neo)?vim, but then I realized you could just as easily

vi <(some_command)

Hmmm, the lack of line selection mode is a bummer. This might have more pain points than I was anticipating. XD

Maybe I should try #vim-tiny?

#vi experts (and #vim / #nvim #NeoVim ),

What's the difference between the 0 command and the | command?

Is it just that | can take a numeric argument?

If you are seriously thinking about learning #Vim / #Neovim, do yourself a favor and proceed as follows:

1. Grok ed(1).
2. Grok vi(1).
3. Ask yourself whether you really need anything ed(1) and vi(1) don't provide.

If your answer to step 3 is "yes", go ahead. But first, do steps 1 and 2.

Here is how to do step 1: Read the man page (it's rather short), read "Ed Mastery" by @mwl (those two steps are interchangeable and even parallelizable), then use it consistently.

Here is how to do step 2: Read the man page (it's rather short as well, though not as short as ed's), then use it consistently.

Also, have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/1220118.

I decided to make that list anyway.

@jpmens

I recently wrote http://jdebp.info/FGA/original-vi.html and was thinking of doing something like this, to augment it; because Sven Guckes's list (https://guckes.net/vi/clones.html) is definitely dated and incomplete, nowadays.

It does not have #NeoVIM (for obvious reasons). Most lists of clones miss that there are several forks of Bostic #nvi, not least the two forks that are in #FreeBSD and #NetBSD base. Similarly, #DragonFlyBSD has forked nvi2.

SOLUTION: @gumnos came up with the idea of piggy-backing :nohl onto control-l for refresh:

nmap <C-L> :nohl<CR><C-L
imap <C-L> <Esc>:nohl<CR><C-L>a

Hey #vim wizards,

The number one reason I don't use search more freely when editing is that all the highlights triggers my #CDO a little bit, and :nohl is a little clumsy to type in a hurry.

I wanted to map :nohl to an easy-to-press keybind, like ctrl-/, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Any ideas?

" map Ctrl-/ to :nohl
nmap <c-Slash> :nohl<CR>
imap <c-Slash> <Esc>:nohl<CR>a

Does anyone know of a good method (may include #FLOSS software) to create #keyboard #shortcut #cheat #sheets ? This may include digital (on screen) and printed options.
