Find input tied to key combinations
1 project | /r/vim | 15 Mar 2023

I have a whole file full of mappings like this that let Vim recognize various special key combinations from any terminal emulator I've used in the last 20 years. It's a mess: https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim/blob/master/plugin/keyboard-workarounds.vim

Help with jumping to file location when opening a diff file in Vim
1 project | /r/vim | 9 Dec 2022

Assuming I understood your desire correctly? I have a function to jump to the original (or patched) file when I press Enter on a line of diff: https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim/blob/master/ftplugin/diff.vim
Python Folding
2 projects | /r/vim | 8 Dec 2022

I use a custom foldexpr. I've been using it for many years, and polished it to do the right thing on all the codebases I've used it on.
Working remotely using SSH
10 projects | /r/vim | 16 Nov 2022

My ~/.vim/ is a Git repository and I make it support older versions of Vim by checking for the existence of features before using them, because I couldn't stand my .vimrc emitting any errors on Vim startup. If you're interested, it's here: https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim/
Would it be a mistake to unset timeout?
1 project | /r/vim | 25 Oct 2022

The primary reason why I need timeout/ttimeout is to have a working Escape key, when you also want to have custom bindings for various key combinations (e.g. ctrl+shift+arrows) that aren't natively recognized for your terminal for some reason, and thus you end up creating compatibility mappings for them.
What is the simplest Python autocomplete, snippets, and such on Vim now?
2 projects | /r/vim | 4 Sep 2022

My ~/.vim is here, if you're curious about the details: https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim/
How to manage Vims dot files (version >8.2), if there are complete plugins inside .vim?
9 projects | /r/vim | 1 Sep 2022

I'm perfectly happy with ~/.vim in a separate git repository (mine), with all the plugins installed via vim-plug.
What are some of the unique functions you use in your .vimrc?
6 projects | /r/vim | 26 Feb 2022

My vimrc is, uhh, big, but I've tried to keep it commented.

Python Folding
2 projects | /r/vim | 8 Dec 2022

This is a known issue with SimpylFold (https://github.com/tmhedberg/SimpylFold/issues/116) I still use it because I think it gives the best folding, but I also have a snippet in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim which recalculates folds when saving the document, making this bug less annoying
What Fold Method are you using? Are you satisfied with your current Fold Method?
2 projects | /r/neovim | 20 Apr 2022

For python I love using SympylFold plugin. For other languages I simply don't use folds at all. (N)vim folding is bad in general IMO, even when using Treesitter.
