    Sensible defaults for Vim

  • > That being said, the config is definitely highly personal

    I have very special preferences (like CHORDING EVERYWHERE! :) )

    > it would be amazing to have a set of scripts to compile one's own personal .vimrc

    Actually, I thought about people who may have different preferences!

    If you want to do the same thing but with your own .vimrc, just check the "How can I make my own CuteVim APE?" section in the README (https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteVim?tab=readme-ov-file#how-can...)

    This section documents the use of the refresh.sh script from https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteVim/blob/main/refresh.sh

    > and related config files (really, the entire .vim directory) into a single APE.

    I don't like having a billion files everywhere (like plugins/ etc) so I didn't think about that usecase, but that would be a great addition because most people have a .vim tree: even with my dislike for having too many files, I have myself a few in .vim/after/syntax/ (to apply italics to comments)

    If you can contribute a script that converts your .vimrc and .vim/ tree into something that can be added to the APE, I'd be very happy to add it!

  • cosmopolitan

    build-once run-anywhere c library

  • The binary was compiled with Cosmopolitan Libc [0], and therefore the binary will execute natively on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and bare metal (BIOS boot).

    I would call that portable.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • wl-gammactl

  • I don't know what you mean by color management - is it the calibration of the display with xrite/argyll?

    For ICC profiles colormgr can help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ICC_profiles#Wayland

    If you just need basic brightness, contrast and gamma, wl-gammactl should do that: https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl

    BTW Hyprland is not required, it's just the most practical way to have shortcuts key mappings in Wayland
