  • What's the current price roughly?

  • Like Ninite for Windows but at the start not manually downloaded

  • The beauty of hibernation mode, I think it technically counts as the process still running!

  • I checked my activity monitor earlier to see a ZSH session at like 40 hours or something.

  • Weirdly I think Vim's modal mindset is a much simpler grasp than the finger gymnastics presented by Emacs.

  • Why? What's wrong with your nano usage? Is it becoming a problem?

  • I still can't get to grips with the islands directory causing separation from my other components, it feels weird because both islands and components are components, I think Next.js' approach of having a use client string at the top of the interactive component makes much more sense because your component directory structure can mimic the app/pages directory layout.

    Honestly it's the only thing keeping me from jumping over to Fresh.

  • Yeah I think since trying modal editors going back to GUI/Chorded Editors in a no go.

    Honestly I can't believe anyone uses a chorded editor? Am I just missing something or is it a lot of extra keys to press to achieve the same thing as a modal editor.

  • Yeah I'm guessing that's Helix's approach. Maybe the bind relearning is worth it or maybe it inspires NeoVim or other Vim-like editors to come with more of the consistently repeated stuff enabled by default.

  • Honestly what can be done with Ansible that isn't achievable with a shell script or two and a yaml file?

  • Yeah I agree NeoVim being extensible is wonderful, and I believe Helix has the goal of adding a plugin system. It's also super lightweight while including a lot of these core features we see repeated in nearly every NeoVim setup, the kind of thing like LSP & Tree Sitter which shows up so often it begs the question: Should this be built into the editor.

    I am also terrified of relearning all the minds after years of vim use, although a lot of the base bindings are the same or similar. I guess if I could relearn the system keyboard shortcuts when I switched OS I can do the same here.

  • Honestly it seems like you gain nothing but a slightly bloated electron wrapper around NeoVim.

    All those features you listed either work out of the box or require minimal configuration in NeoVim.

  • Honestly I'm sure they are great but vim bindings are near ubiquitous amongst technologies now so it's difficult to get everyone to move away from it.

  • rule

  • I am this, it's not that I don't try to improve, I just never know the correct things to learn and feel like I'm getting nowhere. In other topics I learn much quicker, I worry I'm just not meant to draw.

  • What does it carry over from your swim config? What are the benefits of using Nvidia inside of VSCode as opposed to just nvim?

  • If it works for you. Go ahead

  • This was the thing that stopped me from hopping over in the first place, the vim binds just make too much sense

  • Thanks 😅

  • That's probably the best option for consistent colour scheming
