  • vimhelppdf

    Create hyperlinked PDF file of the vim help documents

  • vim-colorwheel

    A plugin for vim to demonstrate the use of a new vim feature

  • In this release is a new feature for naming colors (see :h v:colornames). There's two dimensions to this. It is a simple UX improvement because you can give a more easily remembered name to a color and then use that name in highlight commands. It is also an extra layer of indirection that could open up new ways to generate and collaborate on color schemes. If you're interested check out my vim-colorwheel plugin that demos one possiblity.

  • vim9jit

    a vim9script -> lua transpiler (written in Rust)

  • My understanding was the neovim folks decided this wasn't work the hassle. TJ already has https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit, which transpiles vim9scripts to lua, and that is much more likely the way things will go.

  • macvim

    Vim - the text editor - for macOS

  • The Mac Vim repository is synced up to Vim 9.0.0001 (https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/commit/adfe7be38282da7d772cca025ebbe5080085ef6f). If you have compiler installed in your system, you can build the sources. I am not sure why the corresponding release package is not made available.

  • 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.
