VimMode.spoon VS ppp_thing

- https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon - Vim mode everywhere

VimMode.spoon (open source, free)

I have a Hammerspoon plugin that does a fairly decent job: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

A friend of mine I met through my own similar (free) library is developing this like a madman: https://kindavim.app

It costs $3/month (coffee) but for a Vim person like me I gladly pay. Making this work across macOS is a total mess and a full-time job, and it's not trivial work.

If you want a free version, I have https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon as a Hammerspoon plugin that works pretty OK, but I'm not actively developing it and prefer the kindaVim app at this point.

there's some free solutions out there like Karabiner-Elements(https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org) (but doesn't manipulate/calculate text, just key mapping) and VimMode.spoon (https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon). if you don't wanna bother with setting those up there's also one-time payment stuff, that are basically wrappers around Karabiner Elements.

I wrote this to handle a 2 letter key sequence being pressed (to support jk entering vim mode): https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon/blob/master/lib/key_sequence.lua

Love to see this windows project! If anyone wants some MacOS Vim functionality everywhere, I have a small library I maintain for that: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

Better solution: https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere, for neovim users (and probably vim users) you can utilize some apple script as well: https://blog.schembri.me/post/neovim-everywhere-on-macos/. For those of you who want to try org-mode and evil, https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere is awesome. And if you don't want to use an editor, a similar project (using Hammerspoon) is available here: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

and also let's not forget the awesome VimMode.spoon from dbalatero: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

I wrote a PPPoE client with failover so I can keep the session even when one of my gateways fails or is rebooted (this lets me do regular maintenance without interrupting my internet connection); I put it on github[1], but I doubt anyone will use it. I hope there are few people left with the scourge that is PPPoE, and my OS choice means many people would need to switch OSes to use it, so yeah. Also, I don't care to make it easy to use or to promote it, really. (I've mentioned it once or twice and did a Show HN that got less than ten votes, which I kind of expected).

I've also got my personal (network) monitoring software, some 'IoT' stuff to capture temperature and humidity data around my house, and I'm working on a ESP32 based alarm clock pulling data from iCalendar.

I just published https://github.com/russor/ppp_thing which lets me (and maybe you) failover my PPPoE session between two FreeBSD hosts, so I can do regular maintenance without losing my IP or impacting TCP sessions.

I used to let my DSL modem handle PPPoE and NAT, so failover was easy, but found out fragmented IPv6 crashed the leased modem, and the replacement modem also sucks, so bridge mode + a custom PPPoE client (but from netgraph pieces) it is. Sadly useful in 2021, because PPPoE is somehow still a thing.
