#gvim — Public Fediverse posts

Does anyone know why the icons in GVim look like this in Fedora KDE Plasma? What do I need to install?

OMG! Microsoft brought Edit back from the dead?

Open-sourced and Rust?!

And, in theory you can run it on mac and Linux?! At least they are bringing back edlin.

But, It's true. When I was looking for a small lightweight terminal editor in Windows, I either needed to take the Cygwin dependency for vim/gVim, or use Helix (which I had chosen so far).

@deshipu Nice setup!

Just wondering, why multiple #gvim instances over #Vim splits (`:vs` and `:sp`) ?

Does anyone use #gvim rather than #vim or a GUI for #neovim?

I've been looking at it but it seems like it would get in the way to me. Almost like it doesn't fit like its a weird place between terminal based development and using a gui IDE. Especially since terminal emulators now can do a lot more like italics and true color support, etc.

#FOSS #softwareDevelopment #coding

#gvim #arm64. A few steps down the rabbit hole and the gating factor seems to be availability of #windows #github CI machines for open source projects. All of the tool maintainers who maintain things for free aren’t going to jump on windows ARM until github opens that door. This seems like a huge opportunity for #microsoft to drop the ball here ;). @dsyme ?

can’t complain if this is my biggest problem in life, but just switched laptops and discovered there’s no win-Arm64 build for #gvim. #arm64. how is this possible?

久しぶりに Bash スクリプトを書いた。ターミナルからファイルを開くのに gvim の新規インスタンスで開くか、既存インスタンスの新しいタブで開くか、はたまた既存インスタンスのアクティブタブ上でスプリット画面に開くかをオプションで選べるようにした。これでそれなりに IDE っぽくなった気がする（気のせいｗ）

#Bash #gvim #スクリプティング

Wrote a Bash script that lets me open a file in a new gvim instance or n an existing gvim instance. In the latter case, I can choose whether to open it in a new tab or split the existing tab. It took me a full day to complete it, and I'm pretty happy with the end result.

#Bash #GVim

@ilikepi ah ha! `set guifont=Monospace` restored the font to it's default size. No clue which recent package update may have broke that.

#gvim #fedoralinux

Oh god, why has the gvim font suddenly increased by 2x after an update?! How do I fix this?!

#gvim #vim

Up until 4 years ago or something #Vim (or #GVim) was my code editor of choice. But when having to work with #PHP #WordPress I preferred #VSCode, which has become my main editor.

With Vim I could never get IntelliSense to work properly so I dropped that.

Currently want to look into working with (Mac)Vim again. But my #vimfiles are sorely outdated (8-12 years or so!). Time for a fresh start. Used to copy plugin's etc. to my vimfiles, but is there a better way these days to also stay up-to-date?

MacVim Protip: For those who find #MacVim's default font size and colour schemes utterly unfuckingreadable, you can change these in your ~/.gvimrc file.

For example:

set guifont=Monaco:h18
colorscheme blue

Which produces a much larger, and visually-distinct, buffer.

There are other fonts, sizes, and colour schemes.

You can list schemes installed from your shell via:

$ ls /usr/share/vim/vim81/colors | grep .vim

See: https://linuxhandbook.com/vim-color-schemes/

You might be able to list fonts from within vim via:

:set guifont=*

... which is supposed to display a fonts chooser but fails to do so for me.

I still use GVim as my daily text editor.
#ThanksBram #vim #gvim

@nixCraft who needs bloaty vscode if you can run vim on any OS 🤘
#vim #gvim

Challenging myself to use #neovim today instead of #VSCode.

I used to use #gvim about 18 years ago for PHP dev work, but I was never a power user.

I just feel like Code is such a massive app for the sort of coding that I do.

I am *very* far away from being productive, and I have no idea how to interface with language servers, etc. But I remember how to save and quit, so that's a start.

@crandel @birnim @benjifisher

It's been a long time since I used #gvim, but I know for a fact that there is a gui version of #neovim that can display images. I didn't know that gvim couldn't do that.

@benjifisher @zbecker
#gvim is just terminal emulator + #vim. It's not the same as #emacs gui. And never be the same

@mcc @phernaus

#gvim, baby.

Actually, vim has some support in a terminal.

I don't use it because I cut my teeth on mainframes and punch cards so reaching for a mouse costs at least 20 keystrokes.

@RaphaelKohl @RaphaelKohl Ja, das ist mir auch schon aufgefallen. Übrigens bei #gvim funktioniert die suggestion. Wenn ich auf Deinen #vim tag klicke auch. Merkwürdig.

@RL_Dane #gvim is pretty awesome. It basically adds some really helpful mouse controls to vim, has better tabbing, and when you run a terminal command, rather than completely yoinking the vim session, it opens a new buffer and runs the command in that. Which means you can still edit while running a macro

@Charadon
Nothing wrong with #gvim!

Everyone bullies #gvim but I like it...

I've been a #vim user for a very long time, but it's 2021, and let's face it, it's time for something more modern…

So I'm switching to #gvim! 🥳

Just discovered that the reason why gvim sometimes behaved oddly when forwarding from an Ubuntu machine to my Arch VM was due to ssh -X vs ssh -Y.
