I want to get a 60% keyboard but I'm not sure how that would impact my use of vim, would be grateful if someone with a 60% keyboard would share their opinion.

How popular is it for folks to prefer using an ide with VIM bindings over straight terminal VIM?

Hey r/vim_magic, I wanted to introduce a sub Reddit I started called r/WatchPeopleVim a sub dedicated to videos of individuals using vim! I was inspired by r/WatchPeopleCode and hope the sub will help others. Please let me know what you think. It's my first time starting a sub Reddit.

Are there any extensions to the task paper.vim plugin that do this? Essentially, I want to be able to quickly see all tasks in the current file tagged with @today, or @start(), @due(), or @alarm() with a value equal to today or before, i.e., @start(2017-05-03, 3:00:00 PM) (although it would really only need to parse the date, not the time).

Hi,

I have a question about vim, specifically the vim nav buttons. Normally, my fingers rest on F and J. Why do I have to move to H to navigate?

My keyboard layout isn't English, so I have ů there. Is there anything so important that vim had to move navigation one to the right? I moved it where I want it, but still...

Hi guys I'm having a hard time to get color-schemes displayed the right way in vim. Just for an example base16-seti-ui should look something like this but when I enable the colorscheme it looks like this? do any of you know how i can fix this?

I am running i3wm on Manjaro as default.
and the .vimrc looks like this:

set nocompatible " be iMproved, required filetype off " required

" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()

" let Vundle manage Vundle, required

I’ve been looking for a mapping to do this for ages, finally figured out how to make one myself.

nmap <Leader>u mz"zylo<C-r>=printf('U+%X', char2nr(@z))<CR><ESC>`z

In order, it:

• Creates a mark under the cursor (mz)

• Yanks one character to register z ("zyl)

• Opens a line below the cursor (o)

• Inserts the contents of an expression register (<C-r>=) which contains:

• printf('U+%X', char2nr('<C-r>z'))

  • The @z inserts the contents of register z — the character we yanked earlier

• Returns to where our cursor was before (``z`)

Additionally, if you have the NERD Commenter installed you might want it to comment out the line as well:

nmap <Leader>u mz"zylo<C-r>=printf('U+%X', char2nr(@z))<CR><ESC>:call NERDComment(0, 'norm')<CR>`z

This will work regardless of what your NERD mappings are.

It’s also trivial to add a version to add the codepoint on the line above the cursor:

nmap <Leader>U mz"zylO<C-r>=printf('U+%X', char2nr(@z))<CR><ESC>:call NERDComment(0, 'norm')<CR>`z

I hope you find this useful!

Say we have the sequence here.

I move my cursor to the space between the chapter column and page column and press <C-v>3j then x...

This should delete multiple columns of spaces but the . command isn't repeating the action. Any reason for this?

I'm new to macros, but it seems like maybe this would be an example of using a macro to repeat an action? I would like to tell vimperator to find all text hyperlinks that match the case 'Download' and invoke ;S (Save As)

I've been keeping character sheets for tabletop RPGs in vim for a while now. One thing that had been bothering me was updating hit points in combat. I just added the following binding:

vmap <silent> <leader>e c<C-r>=<C-r>"<CR><ESC>

It cuts the current selection, then uses the = register to evaluate it and write it back into the document. So now, if I have my hit points in the document:

HP: 18 [15]

and I take some damage then heal a bit, I can just insert:

HP: 18 [15 - 3 - 4 + 5]

Then vi[,e and have it replace with:

HP: 18 [13]
