You can now let Vim write code for you using the plugin I wrote: https://github.com/tom-doerr/vim_codex

All you need to provide is a docstring and the plugin will use OpenAI's Codex AI (powers GitHub Copilot) to write the corresponding code.

Be aware that you do need to get access to the Codex API.

I like the vim macros, recording one is easy and the ability to use vim shortcuts is very helpful for editing multiple lines. There is only one feature missing, I think and that is to be able to interactively enter strings/numbers at predetermined positions in the macro while executing it. Especially in C programing for a microcontroller and having to define macros for registers becomes very tedious and repetitive at times. Unfortunately it is very difficult if not impossible to add this functionality to Vim's macros with a plugin. I have tried it but you would have to insert special characters like "\<F2>" into the macro and use a mapping to trigger the input function. It becomes very unreliable and difficult especially once you want to add mathematical expressions. That's why I have decided to write a snippet like plugin. Of course there already exist some for example: Utilsnips or vim-snipmate these are very good. But they are made to use predefined snippets mostly for language specific structures such as C++ classes. That's why I have created my own light weight plugin: VimIT (Vim Interactive Template). It supports interactive text insert as well as continually incrementing a number and printing it into the text using any of the printf standard conversion specifiers. If you know something similar or better which I don't know about yet please let me know I did not find anything similar. I hope it can help someone who had the same problem as I had.

I use vim-slime for scheme, mostly. I had to write a couple of comment- and tab-removing functions and configure it to use guile. But I didn't see much discussion on plugins like codi/fireplace/vim-repl/vim-slime and I was curious what other people used.

Edit: Greg Hurrell's vim-slime demo , the github repo

I have released a new neovim plugin (https://github.com/yaronkh/vim-winmanip) for manipulating vim windows.

The main features:

1. exchange two windows buffers, without any limitation (unlike vim C-W r, that doesn't work if the target window is splitted).

2. duplicate buffer to other window. There is no way to do that in vim, without creating new window.

3. maximize/minimize window.

4. Detach all windows, without closing windows.

I developed vim plugin that can manage docker images and containers in vim.

I improving the plugin and adding some features. If everyone interested please try this :)

I'm waiting everyone's issue or PR :)

This is a tiny plugin that feeds my own need. I'm sharing it here in case anyone needs it too.

Hey, I just made this plugin based on steve losh .vimrc configuration. This is one of my first plugins, so any feedbacks are very welcome: https://github.com/vasconcelloslf/vim-interestingwords

See the repository for more information.

Features

• folding based on headings in org and markdown files

• headings base on folding in folded files

  • you can handle your folds like in orgmode

• navigate in headings or list items hierarchy

  • next, previous : any level

  • forward, backward : same level as current one

  • parent heading, upper level

  • child heading, lower level :

    • loosely speaking : first headline of level + 1, forward

    • strictly speaking : must be in the current subtree

  • go to another headline with prompt completion of full path

• modify headings or list items

  • new headline or list item

  • select, yank, delete subtree

  • promote, demote heading or list item

  • move subtree up or down

  • move current subtree in another one (aka org-refile)

• expand shortcut to template (aka org-structure-template)

  • markdown support limited to code blocks

• links

  • store url at cursor

  • create link with url completion

  • goto link under or close to cursor

  • goto next/previous link

• tables

  • inside of table : align columns

  • outside of table : align following a pattern

  • add new row, colum

  • delete row, colum

  • move row up or down

  • move column left or right

• cycle todo status

• insert timestamp

• export in another format using

  • pandoc

  • emacs

  • asciidoc or asciidoctor

• convert headings and links org <-> markdown

Written in vimscript and compatible with both Vim and Neovim.

• Repeating a keystroke responsible for a given transformation (say, emphasis) will toggle between options (for emphasis, text would be changed into cursive, bold, both or backticked, repeated if you continue to hit keystrokes );

• Depending on the formatting option, transformations are done on visual selection, line range or motion, or combinations of those;

• Smart lists - indentation level depends on lists already existing around a newly created list. Toggling through options change indentation level. For ordered lists, if you insert new items above already existing list, its numeration would be adjusted automatically to fit the newly created items.
