Vim already allows you to use :shell. Neovim took it a step further with the added benefit that you can treat the output as buffer text. Just because you can't see the advantages this gives developers doesn't mean it was a waste

The same question can be asked about Vim 7.4 and Vim 8.0. Which should a plugin developer choose to support? I'm a plugin developer and choose to support any version that has the right features for what I'm accomplishing. For m

Speaking practically, if you're using a terminal to use Neovim, you get consistent window management. If you're using one of Neovim's GUI clients, you also get a terminal in the GUI's frame.

Vim didn't eat Neovim's lunch. It made its own lunch. Vim8's async feature is a copy only in name. Comparing both async APIs, I'm almost certain that Vim8's was added spitefully. It's just so obtuse compare

The backtick is also used for for jumping to marks. I wouldn't recommend overriding that one. `. will put your cursor back to the last insertion point. '. will put you back on the last insertion line. They're quite handy.

Don't worry about me. I won't be discouraged about anything :) I want to be able to produce GIFs since that's relatively easy enough, but it got me thinking that there just needs to be support for embedding an iframe in (Git

A leader key will expand the number of keys available to you. You can have maps like <leader>j that doesn't interfere with the default j map. There is also <localleader> that does the same thing. They're like having

You like the backslash as the leader key?! Well I never!

This doesn't meet my criteria for easy peasy :( If there was a utility that converted that json file to a single HTML file, that'd be a different story. If you feel up to doing that, tmux2html uses an MIT license, so feel free to

Here's an example of not-so-real time rendering: https://share.esdf.io/log.html It's a tmux window displaying the log file for the share.esdf.io domain. It refreshes every second, so the message above about anima

The thing I love so far about Vim is no one argues about key bindings because no one is right. But, almost everyone agrees that the default leader key is awful. I imagine it's the same for the Emacs community.

A convert! (Score!) To make navigating Vim and tmux splits more palatable, I highly recommend this plugin: https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator

I thought about it, but it would bring this outside of the scope of a weekend project :) Besides, gotty might be better suited for that task: https://github.com/yudai/gotty

Not real-time, but yes, kind of. Add `--stream` to the command. Here's an example of it rendering every second: https://share.esdf.io/log.html It is displaying the log file for my share.esdf.io domain (with IPs maske

asciinema is a very useful. But, what I found unappealing about it was that I needed asciinema to play the recordings (is that still the case?). I wanted to be able to put the rendered session anywhere I wanted. The example links are actu

Like I mentioned there, I use it to pester my friends :) tmux is simply fantastic for keeping a session active. Not to mention you won't need to use multiple disjointed emulator windows to do something like keep tabs on a log file whi

The examples are linked on the github page. This was something I had a tiny internal debate about. This thing renders HTML, but I wanted something visual on the README. But, that would require a screenshot...of the rendered HTML page. I

Change for the sake of change can reveal good ideas. Every time I hear someone talk like this, I can't help but think of what we wouldn't have now if we kept sticking with things that "just worked." In my opinion, intro
