Vimty: A vim typewriter

Here's a video of it in action

Dependencies

  • i3wm (to move the window from shell)
  • xrandr (to get screen info)
  • xwininfo, xdotool (to get window info)
  • vim >7.4 (for some of the buffer stuff)
  • normal shell stuff like awk, head, cut

How to use

  1. In vim: :source vimty.vim
  2. If you didn't get a ton of errors, it's probably working

Side note: It might be difficult to use this if your vim window is > half of your screen width or height, depending on how i3 is feeling. It might not want to position off the top or left of the screen!
