  • Can you share your vim story?
    2 projects | /r/vim | 16 Oct 2022
    - [-] 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

    Having a common set of tools already set up in different windows or sessions in Tmux or Zellij is obviously an option, but there is a subset of us ( 👋 ) that would rather just have fingertip access to our common tools inside of our editor.

    Once you have your Mac or Linux machine ready, make sure to downlaod and install TMUX (Terminal Mulitplexer). A lot of our scripts are going to be running headless inside of a TMUX session as it's an incredibly clean way to manage and organise different workspaces simultaneously. A lot of our scripts will help us to interact with TMUX so don't worry if it looks a little intimidating at first. You can install TMUX using your package manager in the terminal, use whichever applies to you:
  • Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative)
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Feb 2024
    After having spent too much time trying to get the simple https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ features into mainline tmux (last November https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/3753), maybe it'd be easier to jump ship as use zellij?

    Could anyone offer recommendations on "riced" zellij configuations, or just a demo where it shows doing with (say charts of disk usage per folder), watching a movie with mpv + keeping a vim to type on?

  • Clipboards, Terminals, and Linux
    4 projects | dev.to | 28 Dec 2023
    Which leads me to clipboards. Linux has two of them! Adding to the interest, I typically use Neovim remotely, via an SSH connection to a Tmux session. And on my Linux system, I use urxvt as my terminal program. All of these are very UNIX-y tools, and somehow they all need to play nicely together.

    The downside of overmind is that it requires tmux, which is a terminal multiplexer tool. If you don't already use tmux, I'd say it's probably not worth learning it just for the purposes of using overmind. But if you're like me and already know/use tmux, this can be a great solution to pursue.
