svd_bin VS fwf

if anyone's interested in "independent" vim keybindings, made to work same in both insert and view modes (and a few different terminals), this is what i use for over.. 25years (?) Basically, few keys like old DOS PE2.exe or (later) e3.exe, and the like, then adding more with years. Like F2 for save, F3 for abandon, Ctrl-F/A for find forward/backward etc. Plus some other stuff that turns vim into kind-a IDE (grepping etc).

have fun

(ah, and the dual/multi mode-ness of vim adds extra layer inside it - making say ctrl-U to do undo always isn't that easy)

Each of those layers can vary, in different distro's, terminals, versions of same thing, etc. Especialy each and every (X-)terminal-thingie having different idea of how to map (or not) ctrl-F2. Some of them going back to the 197x ..

i have tried to make myself a one-mapping-fits-all (say, pressing F2 does ls -alF in terminal+shell, and saves-the-buffer in vim, no matter what/where/when), collecting variants and combinations for last ~25+ years - incl. linux-console and even dos mapping.. and it works mostly.. but still, no silver bullet.

everything may be remapped to your liking.. eventually. YMMV.

if anyone finds any of these useful...

May as well flog the little zsh thing I wrote here:

https://github.com/ckp95/fwf/

It lets you write sed/awk/jq/grep etc things interactively. You type in a UNIX filter, and on every keystroke it renders the result in a column on the right, which you can compare to the original on the left (watch the video demonstration on the link if that description doesn't make sense). I wrote it to make the feedback loop for text-processing as quick as possible. I use it all the time now.
