NegativePrimes<p>I love Vim and modal editing, but a lot of my editing requires working with text that has formatting like italics or headings. This means I can't use it in Vim. 😿 </p><p>Alas, Vim is a wonderful tool geared mainly for programmers, not natural text editing.</p><p><a href="https://urusai.social/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vim</span></a></p>

chesheer<p>As a book translator I spend my days working with texts. Also it means I have to deal with user-hostile file formats like docx. Because editors, designers...<br>My long-time friend was LibreOffice. I used it since version 5.something. It's a great alternative to Microsoft Office. But in other respects you have to put up with this huge bulky piece of legacy code that probably still has Sun engineers' souls trapped inside.<br>And I want to boast with my little personal victory. I have finally finished a book fully typed in <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vim</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> (for the glory of both editors) in Markdown format and later processed via <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/pandoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandoc</span></a> to docx (with all required styles and formatting). I used LibreOffice only on the last stage to iron out some quirks and typos. It seems this workflow works.<br>Which means I don't have to use this huge and unhandy LibreOffice suite every day.<br>Now I want to figure out if I can use org format for my translations or should I stay with Markdown. Because it seems I like it here with Emacs.</p>

VimLinks<p>Vim now ships with a built-in package that highlights yank operations to make them easily visible: <a href="https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/16919" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/vim/vim/pull/16919</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>This used to be an example for the `getregionpos()` function, so it's quite short and fairly easy to experiment with. Or you can add `packadd hlyank` to your vimrc if you just want the functionality.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vim</span></a></p>
Jesus :amiga:<p>Opinion:<br>Neovim or VSCode plugin hells aren't that different from the likes of node_modules.
