vim-awesome VS grip

Vim is infinitely customizable. While Vscode allows you to change the app’s color scheme, install plugins, and change a few app settings, Vim offers you complete control over the editor’s experience. You have thousands of plugins to choose from. You can completely remap any keybinding and create new shortcuts for tasks in your daily workflow. And giving you more power as a developer, you can completely reprogram or automate your Vim experience with the built-in Vimscript language or Lua for Neovim.

This is a pretty good website for browsing vim plugins: https://vimawesome.com

VimAwesome is a website with a curated list of vim plugins. You can search by category or type for something that fits your needs. I highly recommend browsing the list just to see what there is.

I recently moved to Mac/OSX from Linux and have struggled with my vim setup. I found some installations bundles that attempt to set everything up for me, so I used one of those, iirc it is this one: https://vimawesome.com/ . However, I have some issues with it. While coding, I often want to jump around code blocks and I do so by taking advantage of the '{}' characters (curly braces) used for code blocks in the languages I use (javascript and C++). In vi, the '%' character can be used to jump between the matching curly brace. However, in my current setup, this does not work. How can I find how to make the '%' feature work again?

That is probably a couple of hours worth of work getting the plugins set up. Then you're in the wild west looking for things that are interesting. I suggest you stay as minimal as you can as long as you can, but there is plenty to find.

Find the desireable plug-ins from VIM Awesome this is one of the best places to find vim and neovim plugins. For this tutorial we will add couple of plug-ins to make our neovim look good and work like an ide.

Unfortunately not maintained anymore, but it updates automatically so is still somewhat useful.

Are you aware of https://vimawesome.com/ Makes it pretty easy to find plugins.

I'm putting together a little package to preview markdown files similarly to how they are rendered on GitHub. Previously I've used grip (and grip-mode), which are awesome, but I wanted a little more room for customization and to avoid hitting the GitHub API on every change.

Any recommendation for grip in Rust? So far I only find this.

I use one of these: - Sublime Text Package MarkdownPreview - Command line tool Grip - Browser Markdown editor https://dillinger.io/

Getting "click an .md file and it opens in the browser for viewing" for this Markdown viewer would be awesome: https://github.com/joeyespo/grip

Not sure if getting Github preview to work would be that easy, but you should be able to start a live markdown preview of the Emacs buffer and if you have xwidgets support, render and show it within Emacs itself. You can use grip to get exact previews as what you would have got in Github.

So I looked around and found a great, less popular emacs package called grip-mode which is basically an emacs integration for the command-line python application called grip. Grip starts a live server locally to render a project's README file using the GitHub Markdown API so you can get live preview before pushing to GitHub or using the web editor. So enough talk let's see how we can make this work.

There's an open-source project called grip [1] that can render markdown to HTML that looks almost identical to the GitHub rendering. It can do either live preview or export it to HTML. I use it for previewing GitHub READMEs while I edit them, and it does an excellent job for that purpose.
