Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment

Week 5: The Editor

In this video lecture, we look at the required feature for a full-fledged programmer's editor and illustrate some of the core functionality by example of vim(1). This includes basic motion commands, setting and moving to markers, using folds, and the use of the ':make' and quick fix lists to address compiler errors efficiently.

(Don't worry, we'll talk about ed(1) later.)

This week for the #OverUnder series, my guest is Derek Sivers!

Derek is known for the company he created, sold, and gave everything to a charity.

He has also a mastodon account, @d, but doesn't really use it right now.

He shares his thoughts on #stoicism, #minimalism, #Seneca, #food, and for all the #emacs detractors, he built "everything" in his life with #vim

Look what I found in the #Zagreb City Museum! :%d the dirt from your dishes with #vim, it was never easier!

Alt...

Several old Croatian advertisement posters for "VIM", which seems to be some kind of dish-washing agent.

@mms Though I'm biased since I was a tech reviewer on Practical Vim, I'd still put it as the best #vim book out there. Even when weighed against Modern Vim (the follow-up book by the same author, which I also did technical review for). In the "Not shabby" department, you have the O'Reilly classic "Learning the vi and Vim Editors" (now in its 8th Edition, IIUC) which is pretty solid. There are a couple others in the market, but I've found most of them lacking in content, depth, or editing.

Which is the greatest pro #vim book? Still Practical Vim?

Why do #vim users tend to use gd for go to definition when using LSP, when c-] (or g]) is a standard go to for ctags?

I there a good book on #vim script 9? The "learn vim scrpt the hard way" assumes vim 7, and it seem script 9 is quite of a different beast.

the subshell of holly wars!

(I know that I am ignoring other Vis and the standard editor)

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