CuteVim VS novim-mode

BTW you should package your emacs config file with the emacs APE to do a cuteemacs, to carry your config files and everything in a portable binary: https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteVim

Another idea: have you considered that the "program that would be run by .bashrc" to generate the "unambiguous 24-bit color capabilities" could set environment variables to communicate them? Like, if you can't stuff them in terminfo, stuff them in environment variables! Env var work well on Windows, and the configuration files of terminal programs could just use these when available to override.

It's be like adding friends to your proposed TERMVERSION: TERMSETF24 etc

for vim aarch64 and x86-64 : https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteVim

just embed your own vimrc with zip following the instructions

for others, see https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/

> That being said, the config is definitely highly personal

I have very special preferences (like CHORDING EVERYWHERE! :) )

> it would be amazing to have a set of scripts to compile one's own personal .vimrc

Actually, I thought about people who may have different preferences!

If you want to do the same thing but with your own .vimrc, just check the "How can I make my own CuteVim APE?" section in the README (https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteVim?tab=readme-ov-file#how-can...)

This section documents the use of the refresh.sh script from https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteVim/blob/main/refresh.sh

> and related config files (really, the entire .vim directory) into a single APE.

I don't like having a billion files everywhere (like plugins/ etc) so I didn't think about that usecase, but that would be a great addition because most people have a .vim tree: even with my dislike for having too many files, I have myself a few in .vim/after/syntax/ (to apply italics to comments)

If you can contribute a script that converts your .vimrc and .vim/ tree into something that can be added to the APE, I'd be very happy to add it!

I made a plugin to do this too! https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode

I'd never heard of OP's, I'm sure we can work together to share ideas.

Perhaps https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode can help. Check it out, it came up when I had posted this on Hacker News last year.

I actually maintain a plugin that tries to permanently keep (N)vim in Insert mode. https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode We've got over a 100 stars, so it's got some appeal.

There's also this plugin that makes Vim's keybindings default to a traditional behaviour: https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode

I'm in the curiously rare position of being a long time Neo/vim user who doesn't use its modal features. Namely I have all my keybindings setup like a "normal" editor, CTRL+S to save etc.

I say it's curious because I've always been surprised that Neo/vim is mainly celebrated as "that modal editor". Whereas for me I celebrate it as the most feature-packed and lightweight terminal editor. Neo/vim is sooo much more than merely its modal editing.

With this new release of Neovim maybe there's renewed interest in what Vim is beyond the stereotypes. I wrote a plugin a few years ago that intelligently disables Neo/vim's NORMAL mode [1]. It always seemed such an obvious idea when the majority of editors have their own plugins to intelligently enable Vim-style modality.
