Always start on first line in git commit buffers

2024-03-15T10:56:40-07:00

At one time &filetype was set in BufReadPost, but not now.
Fix is to use a FileType autocmd for gitcommit.

If it were more complicated, could put in [after/]ftplugin/$FILETYPE.vim
per https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/k1c63f/should_the_filetype_option_be_set_by_the_time_the/

Retrieve git branch only on new buffers

2024-03-15T00:10:25-07:00

Before this commit, git rev-parse would've been called for every key
press (if the statusline had added the git part).

Make test for nvim compatible with macOS.

2024-03-14T11:10:18-07:00

Could have used

   hash  # For regular commands. Or...
   type  # To check built-ins and keywords

But why not just go with POSIX compatibility?

Make git branch fit on status line; Sep │ not |

2024-03-14T09:54:22-07:00

Note I'm still not actually using git branch on the vim status line,
I don't want all those git calls happening. But it's staged there just
in case I change my mind.

Make vim StatuslineGit() return branch for current file

2024-03-13T23:55:18-07:00

Use "git -C  ..."

Have the command "vim" launch nvim where possible

2024-03-12T20:58:54-07:00

Alias vim, vim-, and vimdiff

Create an update_dir function in setup.sh

2024-03-12T17:24:55-07:00

Now that I want to update three directories, it makes sense to do that
in a function.

1. .vim/
2. .config/nvim/
3. .local/share/nvim/site/plugin/
</pre>

Remap Y to yank to end of line, like neovim

2024-03-12T15:24:36-07:00

Use yy to yank a whole line.
Like C and D work from current position to the end of the line,
use Y to yank to the end of the line too.

nvim set hidden

2024-03-08T19:39:40-08:00

I use scratch buffers often, especially with nv- as:

    alias nv-='nvim +"setl buftype=nofile" -'

Then I execute commands like:

   rg needle . | nv-

Which puts a lot of filenames in a Scratch buffer, and I want to keep
that buffer around even when I switch away from it.

nvim is too hard to type. Use nv
