Looks like the project is in good hands and will make gentle steps forward.

Bram Moolenaar, the creator of the widely respected Vim code editor, has passed away at the age of 62. The family announced his passing in a heartfelt Google Groups message on August 5, revealing a sudden progression of a medical condition that had afflicted him.

Hi, I am new to Lemmy Is it possible that I am the 2nd subscriber to this channel(or however it is called in the Lemmyverse) ?

Seen a few ways but all seem to be with deprecated/abandoned methods or tools

Hi, I have set up my neovim config listchars like so:

vim.opt.listchars = { tab = "│ ", trail = "·", precedes = "<", extends = ">", nbsp = "○" }

But for empty lines between the indentations there are these awful holes left.

I used to use intent-blankline.nvim but I want to try to tone down my plugin usage, and I pretty much used it only to fix this issue, could somebody help me?

A guy at my work had this printed out and hanging in his office.

I switched over to the completion plugin that is part of https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim and I'm impressed with how suitable it is for my use case without any configuration

Sure, it's not as extensible, but it's so set-and-forget and still gives suggestions from LSP

There is a project to modernize the bundled color schemes in vim.

SpaceVim is a distribution of the Vim editor that’s inspired by spacemacs. It manages collections of plugins in layers, which help collecting related packages together to provide features. This approach helps keeping configuration organized and reduces overhead for the user by keeping them from having to think about what packages to install.
