Verdammt … Als im #RSS-Reader heute morgen dieser Titel auftauchte

"Vim Classic is a Vim Fork for People Who Want Their Editor AI-Free"

war ich natürlich alarmiert. Mir ist klar, dass es zu einer extremen Challenge wird, meine Umgebung #KI-frei zu halten. Aber irgendwie hatte ich bei #Terminal Tools wie #vim nicht damit gerechnet. Wie Wasser frisst sich diese Seuche immer tiefer in unser Leben und bemächtigt sich allem, was nicht genug Widerstand leistet oder die Gefahren nicht erkennen will.

Die Entwicklungen haben nun zur Geburt von #ClassicVim geführt. Damit werde ich mich nun beschäftigen und hoffen, dass am Ende alles weiterhin so funktioniert, wie ich es mir für meinen Bedarf zusammengebaut habe. #Linux

Submitted the patch to include vim-classic in the #FreeBSD ports collection:

bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show…

Now waiting for it to be added.

If you can't wait, you can grab the patch to add it from the bug ticket and compile it for your system. If you don't want to install the ports collection, patch it and build it yourself *AND* you trust me to not be malicious: I'm temporarily making binary packages available for 14.3 and 15.0:

Woohoo! The first release, 8.3.0, of vim-classic (the non-slop fork of VIM) has been releases today!

I'm working on a #FreeBSD port in my spare time.

Any suggestions will be helpful;)

It's not arbitrary—it's hardware history. The ADM-3A terminal had arrows printed directly on those keys.

ESC was also where Tab is now. Vi wasn't designed for ergonomics, it was designed for the keyboard that existed.

u
Undo the last change made to the file.
If repeated the u command alternates between these two states.
The . command when used immediately after u causes the change log to be rolled forward or backward depending on the action of the u command.

Do I need to move away from gVim/#Vim? I'm not sure, but we're in this game to try new things, right?

Is it worth it to move from Vimscript to Lua?

Although familiarity with usual vim still comes in handy on the school computer 😅
