Vim editors are filled to the brim with features, even ignoring the whole plugin ecosystem. It's near impossible to know everything about it, and even after more than a decade working in vim I find some hidden gems.
This is a collection of things that made me go "wait, you can do that?", or in some cases features I've known about for so long that triggered that response in others. In short, neat features that people are likely to miss unless they accidentally stumble into them.
The articles are short and mainly serves to showcase a few select features, and included asciinema recordings to show them off where reasonable.
This is a very hackily put together thing, just the most bare bones thing to allow me to put a few posts up on my server. On the positive side, it's small and hackable to do what I need it to.
Tools you need to make this thing work are pandoc
, bash
and some utils
that more than likely makes the assumption that you're running them on linux.
The thing lives at https://algmyr.se/vim/ but I make no uptime guarantees. :)
