Modeless Vim

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ModelessVim

    Configuration files to turn vim into a modeless editor.

  • helix

    A post-modern modal text editor.

  • Seems at least extensability is on the mind of the Helix team:

    > There’s two prototypes we’re exploring that could potentially exist side by side: a typed list/ML-like implementation for scripting and a Rust based interface for things that require performance. Could potentially run both in wasm but I’m personally a bit unhappy with how big wasm implementations are, easily several orders of magnitude compared to the editor

    https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/FAQ#how-to-write-...

    So they're not avoiding making it extensible on purpose, seems they haven't found the right way to do it yet.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • micro-plugin-lsp

    An LSP Client implementation for the Micro Editor

  • It is sad that it is a plugin instead of a core feature and a buggy one at that (https://github.com/AndCake/micro-plugin-lsp), it's the last missing piece to transform a really good choice into the de factor killer

  • which-key.nvim

    💥 Create key bindings that stick. WhichKey is a lua plugin for Neovim 0.5 that displays a popup with possible keybindings of the command you started typing.

  • There is a well known plugin for neovim to do this kind of behavior. You can even create your own hotkeys into that plugin and will help you navigate and memorize different hotkeys for the editor. The plugin is called whichkey, and this is their github https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim

  • neovide

    No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust

  • buildroot

    Tesla's buildroot repository (by teslamotors)

  • Tesla uses Qt and Qt WebEngine uses Chromium, meaning that there is probably in fact a V8 JavaScript engine in any given Tesla.

    https://github.com/teslamotors/buildroot/tree/buildroot-2021...

  • novim-mode

    Plugin to make Vim behave more like a 'normal' editor

  • I made a plugin to do this too! https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode

    I'd never heard of OP's, I'm sure we can work together to share ideas.

  • 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.

  • hydra

    make Emacs bindings that stick around (by abo-abo)

  • You can also use Hydra for Emacs.[1] Once I discovered how to configure Hydra, I made it a habit to make one for every new major mode I need to use.

  • CuteVim

    Sensible defaults for Vim

  • for vim aarch64 and x86-64 : https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteVim

    just embed your own vimrc with zip following the instructions

    for others, see https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/

  • ergoemacs-mode

    ergoemacs-mode

  • It's a tiny tweak that gives something like 1% of the functionality.

    The real, useful, working CUA mode for Emacs is here:

  • micro-editor

    A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor
