FINAL EDIT: We've been making good progress with EVi! We've fully settled on version 9.1.0 with no AI code, we're on IRC @ irc.oftc.net, we've gained a lots of popularity and we've been working on fixing tests and removing platforms that are deemed exotic with other cleanups. Thank you to everyone who has supported us this week!!!

Fuck AI.

Seems someone's so unhappy that and accept AI-assisted contributions that they forked vim codeberg.org/NerdNextDoor/evi/

Seems like a somewhat pointless uphill battle to me. If the contributions are of high quality and solve real problems they are perfectly fine in my book. It's not like the number of C, VimScript and Lua experts has been growing a lot in recent years. ;-) AI agents might help make some niche technologies less niche, which is not a bad thing...

Imagine a protocol like , but for adding real-time collaboration to existing text editors. It would allow to edit a , or peer-to-peer pair programming between and !

We've come up with our own little protocol like that (for Teamtype), but we'd like to open up the discussion:

That's why we're inviting everyone interested to an initial online gathering on Feb 26, 19:00 UTC, to gauge interest for working on a protocol like this together!

This looks like a really cool multicursor plugin for . I'm gonna give it a try and see how it works for me:
github.com/jake-stewart/multic

I've seen a lot of people say that multicursors are not the "vim way" of doing things. But for me, multicursors cover that gap where visual-block is not enough and recording a macro would be slower than doing the edit by hand.

Hey, I want to start being more active on Mastodon, so here's my :

I'm a student passionate about technology, Linux, and programming. I'm mostly self-taught, but I plan to study computer science once I go to university.

I'm a huge nerd, I use (btw) and I run (an amazing compositor). My editor is the incredible . And all of that runs on my beloved @frameworkcomputerFramework :fedora: :ubuntu: laptop

Aside from all the computer stuff I also really like reading. I mostly read fiction (with a slight preference for fantasy) but I do enjoy the occasional non-fic book

When I worked on 2.0, I divided the code into the netcache, ansicat and openk components, hoping someone would, one day, use them to do something I never imagined.

Well, it happened: there’s now a plugin using Openk to render gemini/web pages in you editor!

git.thatit.be/neopunk.nvim.git/

The whole story:
gemini://thatit.be/2026-02-19-

(yes, it is a link, is a protocol, not a Google bot!)

(pls boost :boost_request:)

please recommend me the best TUI (terminal user interface) applications that you know of, and especially what design principles to keep in mind when building one.
as framework i'll most likely be using rattatui, and skim for fuzzy search.

some of the ones with good design that i can think of right now are:
- rmpc
- btop
- neovim (duh)
- calcure
- ranger

@alinaalina🏳️‍⚧️🐾 personally I can also recommend good tools that just work.

And many more.

Vim v9.2 is released. There are many magnífico features I look forward to use. VIM is a Swiss Army Knife for editing Source Code & text.

The features are too many to mention, no really I don't know them all; NOBODY DOES!
Just like with the GiMP I know the functions I need and learn more when the requirement arizes. VIM has an extensive help system which Bram Molenaar et all developed over the decades that VIM exists.

History
VIM was initially coded on the Amiga computer systems of which I own an A4000T with a Cyberstorm 060 and Max Ram, with RTG card (Picasso 96), a A1200 vanilla with a stock HDD & an A500 with stock RAM (chip and fast) and 3 FDD 2x 3.5" 1x 5 1/4"

Bram wrote VIM in such a way that it runs on the A500 with just 512kB RAM!

There are people who love EMACS. To them I say

<flame bait>
EMACS can't hold a candle to VIM
</flame bait>

Of course that is just humour. In the Open Source world choice is what makes us all work and play well on whatever hardware we have with whatever tools we love

New Features in Vim 9.2

Comprehensive Completion: Added support for fuzzy matching during insert-mode completion and the ability to complete words directly from registers (CTRL-X CTRL-R). New 'completeopt' flags like nosort and nearest offer finer control over how matches are displayed and ordered.
Modern Platform Support: Full support for the Wayland UI and clipboard has been added. On Linux and Unix-like systems, Vim now adheres to the XDG Base Directory Specification, using $HOME/.config/vim for user configuration.
UI Enhancements: A new vertical tabpanel provides an alternative to the horizontal tabline. The MS-Windows GUI now supports native dark mode for the menu and title bars, along with improved fullscreen support and higher-quality toolbar icons.
Interactive Learning: A new built-in interactive tutor plugin (started via :Tutor) provides a modernized learning experience beyond the traditional vimtutor.

Vim9 Script Ecosystem & AI Integration

The maturity of Vim9 script's modern constructs is now being leveraged by advanced AI development tools. Contributor Yegappan Lakshmanan recently demonstrated the efficacy of these new features through two projects generated using GitHub Copilot:

Battleship in Vim9: A complete implementation of the classic game, showcasing classes and type aliases. [GitHub]
Number Puzzle: A logic game demonstrating the efficiency of modern Vim9 for interactive plugins. [GitHub]

I wonder why they have LLM support?

Note
The download page looks horrible on mobile so you'd be wise to view it on desktop

If this is your first time using VIM and you didn't bother to read the help file with `:h`
Just exit VIM type `:wq` to write & exit or type `:q!` to exit without saving the file

Development News The 0.12 version will allow Neovim to be built without Unibilium (terminfo implementation). If missing, only internal definitions for the most common terminals are used. Less build time dependency -> support for more platforms is possible. PR: - github.com/neovim/neovi...

Je viens d’inventer une astuce / pour les utilisateurs :

" Remap ctrl-a and ctrl-x to increment/decrement numbers in normal mode
noremap ± <C-a>
noremap ÷ <C-x>

De cette manière, vous incrémentez/décrémentez les chiffres avec maj+altgr+ + et maj+altgr + / (juste à côté, le maj+ - est une lettre morte malheureusement)

Pour celleux qui, comme moi, détestent la touche Ctrl et veulenl la bannir !

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 16 🎄

On day 16 we have another pic from the tool stack I use in my home lab: Restic the free and open source backup solution. I use it to create incremental backup and store them in my self-hosted minIO instances. It's again one of those tool that just does its job without getting in your way.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 17 🎄

On day 17 I'm sponsoring another tool that's part of my workflow to navigate the terminal and getting directly to editing in NeoVim: fzf. It offers a fuzzy command line search and I use it as part of an alias to open the desired file form my project directory in NeoVim.
