vimscript over lua
As for writing plugins though, Lua beats Vim script any time of the day. I wrote info.vim back in the early days and it was a major pain to write in Vim script. If I had to redo it today I would 100% write it in Lua.

plugin annoncement - nvlime
Yeah, mapping a function instead of a mapping is even better. I just don't like if a predefined mapping is hard to remember or (even worse) conflicts with one of my existing mappings. Personally I like it the way Neovim's LSP client does it: you get a Lua (or Vim script) API that you can map yourself. In my info.vim I provide the commands :InfoNext, :InfoPrev and :InfoUp, but I also have a code snippet of reasonable default bindings in my README that people can just copy-past into their configuration. If they disagree with my defaults they can then change that snippet instead of having to fight my plugin to scrub away the defaults.

Man pages in color, with links
I think we're all aware of the Man plugin, What I really want is info.vim being distributed by default aswell.

Future plans for Autotools
A wiki is not adequate documentation and I hate this trend of making documentation HTML only. Not everyone uses or even can use a web browser. GNU software has this great tool called Texinfo which lets you write a proper book-sized documentation with proper table of contents, chapters, and indexes. You can generate HTML, PDF, and most importantly info files. You can read info files in your terminal, in Emacs, or even in Vim (wrote a plugin for that).

What is the appeal of the 'start menu' in so many desktop environments?
You'll probably like rofi.

Possible to filter clipboard when using `unamedplus`?
Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

Rofi dry run
Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

What's your recommended launcher app in your opinion?
I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

xfce workplace switcher in polybar
Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

A sensible NixOS Xfce desktop configuration
xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi
