notes VS suda.vim

I've documented some really cool things that vifm can do: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd

So I wrote https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac -- 30 lines of shell plus maybe another 30 or 40 of comments, and it does everything I want in a dotfile manager.

All this is painlessly taken care of by https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac (documentation: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd)

If you have fzf installed, grab https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/try, and run try dust. Then start typing -t jpg (for example). Then backspace over the jpg and change it to png. Or use some other options.

I hesitate to nominate any of them because (a) there are dozens or even hundreds of them and (b) I don't like any of them; I wrote my own because I needed a "hold" feature that no one had (i.e., when propagating changes to the repo, I want to hold back some parts of the change; https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd explains better if you're interested

For those of you who are curious, https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd is my part "review" and part "tips and tricks" on vifm.

Most of my tools are in bash or perl, most of them less than 100 lines of code, (most of them are less than 200 even with comments). https://github.com/sitaramc/notes has all of them (terrible name for a repo full of tools I know; sorry!)

Absolutely vifm. My notes+tips/tricks on this at https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd

https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd for documentation, https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd for code, if you're interested.

if you're a vim user, you can't go wrong with vifm. My take on vifm is here: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd -- can't hurt to give it a read (it's a wee bit outdated but not much; probably only the last section needs to be updated)

Personally, I use suda.vim

I've always tried using this plugin and doing SudaWrite, which doesn't work either.

In neovim this problem is solved by https://github.com/lambdalisue/suda.vim

This emulates the well known sudo write trick (:w !sudo tee %), which unfortunately doesn't work in neovim. The code is mostly based on suda, except that it's fully written in lua and it's a small module that you can include in your config.

ye ol' sudo tee trick does not work in nvim afaik. Use this

Neovim has numerous issues open about this and some are suggesting using suda.vim which works great. Personally I did not want to use a plugin just for this as all I wanted was to have a command that would replicate :w !sudo tee %.

You can see if suda.nvim fits your needs better.

There's also Suda.vim
