khal VS helix

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I just tried to setup dumb jump, downloaded khal as example project and tried to use `gd` while I'm with the cursor on a method. It always is asking me for a TAGS file, but I don't have any, I mean this is dumb-jump.

I use https://github.com/pimutils/khal ...maybe it would work with WSL?... for calendar and markdown diary (have a script that pulls calendar items, tasks that are due from taskwarrior, and notes from yesterday's "tomorrow" section into each new day's journal/diary entry) via vimwiki.

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

Apple iCal <-> vdirsyncer <-> khal <-> khalel

If that's a dead end, I'd look into CLI CALDAV clients that you could script around. Maybe something like khal? http://lostpackets.de/khal/

I tend to use khal in combination with vdirsyncer (which can sync a remote Google Calendar to local iCal files, and vice-versa). However I don't think it can handle all the meeting invite stuff you mention.

I like khal, which stores events in a directory of ics files. Not quite what you were asking for as it's not a single text file. The CLI for displaying, adding, and editing events is pretty nice though.

This looks very interesting. As the original author of khal (another terminal calendar) [1] I love some more competition in this space.

I've been using vdirsyncer to keep CalDAV servers in sync. It works with basically everything. Works great with khal but I've always wanted a month or week view so I'm gonna check this out!

Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

I'm probably not the average python programmer.

But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.

I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...

Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.

Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
