  • Can you share your vim story?

    - [-] The journey has began at some time 2020 - [x] Getting boring with `atom`, `vscode`, `sublime`. Why? 1. Too slow on managing projects, each project takes **2GB** storage 2. `atom` and `vscode` are electron-based app, so it's heavy 3. Sublime is quite good, but heavily on indexing project's files - [x] Try `vim`, doing `vimtutorial`, getting struggled and ... struggled with the new ugly motions `hjkl` - [x] Few weeks passed, still getting struggled with vim - [x] Retried with `doom emacs`, but with vim bindings. Doom also supports many cool plugins - [x] Wao, `doom` is cool, project management is super cool, searching is blazing fast too - [x] Keep trying `doom`, for few weeks - [-] Then, getting boring with `doom`, it's basically emacs with vi-binding layer - [x] Retry `vim` with `bootstrap` [config](https://vim-bootstrap.com/) - [x] After ~2 months, the vim feeling is much better - [x] Add some plugins: `fzf`, session management, `grep/ack` search - [x] Add lsp [coc](https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim) - [x] Add/play with more plugins, yay yay yay !!! - [x] `tpope` plugins are such amazing - [x] Try `tmux`, hmm, quite good - [x] Use this awesome `tmux` [config](https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux) - [-] 2020-07-23 Start doing a personal dotfiles - [x] Keep using `vim` + `tmux` - [x] Move to `neovim` 0.4.0, then `0.5.0+` - [x] Start note-taking with `vimwiki`, then with other plugins - [-] Try `roam`, `obsidian` - [-] Stop using `vimwiki`, not sure what happened ??? Maybe boring mainly - [o] 2022-{01..06} Try other wiki tools, `taskwarrior`, `todoist`, and `orgmode` - [o] Still getting struggled on how to note-taking

    In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.

    Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

    Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig.

    "git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

    "git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote.

    "git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)", and zip back to the repo root from a deep directory structure. This one is less useful now for me since I started using zoxide to jump around. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

    The fzf search syntax can help, if you become familiar with it. It is also supported in atuin [2].

    You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

    I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

    I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues
