Anyone got a good solution for writing emails using nvim?
I've been using wasavi and it's fine. Does firenvim use your actual, local nvim config and appearance, though?

Competitive Programming setup
for leetcode specifically, i use firenvim to start a neovim session in the text area that would normally be leetcode's area and then have an autocmd that looks for "leetcode" in the filename and prompts me to select a filetype.
