How to quit VIM? (szmer.info)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by lemmur@szmer.info to c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world
 

First of all. This is not another "how do I exit vim?" shitpost.

I've been using (neo)vim for about two years and I started to notice, that I,m basically unable to use non-vim editors. I do not code a lot, but I write a lot of markown. I'd like to use dedicated tools for this, but their vim emulators are so bad. So I'm now stuck with my customized neovim, devoid of any hope of abandoning this strange addiction.

Any help or advice?

I use a different tool, visidata. It's especially nice when used as a psql pager.

A text editor isn't the right tool for editing tabular data, imo.

As for KaTeX, what I would do is have a preview process running outside of vim that watches for changes in source files and re-renders. That's the Unix way of doing things.
