termite VS Vim

- you can also rectangular select like in vim, and then press either p (includes LF) or which joins the multiline clipboard text into a single line (removing LF's), that payed off a lot for output like `git status` and wanting to operate on parts of the output (files e.g.)

Have a look at the still young website's documentation here: https://contour-terminal.org/input-modes/#supported-text-obj...

for a more complete look of what you can do with the keyboard (normal mode) :)

Also, regarding VTE, the author of termite (discontinued terminal emulator) expressed similar concerns about the GNOME devs. Apparently, they have little interest in making the library useful to people not working on GNOME apps: https://github.com/thestinger/termite

Termite is obsolete by Alacritty.

I simply do not want to use anything libvte based. And that's what sakura is and termite used to be.

History and experience tells a different story [1]. Never trust a library that is maintained by GNOME.

This post by the Termite developer, with respect to VTE, is quite instructive

Wow, this confirms a lot of my impressions:

>> In 2012, we submitted a tiny patch exposing the APIs needed for the keyboard text selection, hints mode and other features. Despite support from multiple other projects, the patch was rejected. It's now almost a decade later and no progress has been made. There is no implementation of these kinds of features in VTE and it's unlikely they'll be provided either internally or as flexible APIs. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their hostility towards other projects using VTE as a library. GTK and most of the GNOME project are much of the same. Avoid them and don't make the mistake of thinking their libraries are meant for others to use.

This is exactly why sixel-tmux exists as a separate entity!

> Yeah, I read the entire conversation and if sixel support lands in tmux upstream, it would indeed be good news.

I'll keep my fingers crossed, but right now, there seems to be a lot of good will. I will do everything I can.

There have been six releases of Vim _this week_. So, no, Vim is not "dead".

Vim

We wanted this machine to be as lean as possible. There is only so much memory and processing power to go around. Remember, our machine has 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 processor with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. We also wanted as much of that space and power to be used for serving up our web applications. However, we also wanted to have an additional option for editing any code files, in addition to vim.

Vim: winget install vim.vim

So Raylib library could be your best option. Let's code, just open your text editor like vim or VSCodium in your Windows, Linux or Mac computer and let's build our indie game with Raylib library, no extra dependencies are needed.

nevermind, after a little searching, I found the solution, this isn't 'a nvchad problem or neovim problem, but a vim problem, and this github issue explains it. In the bottom of the issue, someone did post a fix here, but I haven't really tried it.

Then I went to official vim GitHub and looked around and it also had only instruction for installing vim from scratch.

When you said Vim, I thought you were talking about Vim (a code editor). Clearly not haha
