Because who doesn't need an image of their own workspace in a repo of their own dotfiles?

Always start on first line in git commit buffers

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/

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.

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 |

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

Use "git -C ..."

Have the command "vim" launch nvim where possible

Alias vim, vim-, and vimdiff

Create an update_dir function in setup.sh

david.blume@gmail.com (dblume) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 17:24:55 -0700

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/

Remap Y to yank to end of line, like neovim

david.blume@gmail.com (dblume) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 15:24:36 -0700

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

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.
