I recently tried out the fantastic vim-tmux-navigator tmux plugin. Unfortunately, some the default key bindings conflict with some of the key bindings my fuzzy finder of choice uses. I wanted to remap them to the default vim split navigation commands that are prefixed with C-w, and found the solution of hjdivad in his gist. However, I wanted a simpler solution, so after some more digging I stumbled upon this reddit post and ultimately came up with the following solution, which doesn't rely on key bindings that unbind themselves, but uses tmux's 'key-tables'.

Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

Vim has many plugins (vim-go, ale, etc.) that use the quickfix/location list
feature. Some of these plugins process the output of an external command and
update the quickfix list asynchronously as the output becomes available.

Updating a quickfix or location list asynchronously opens up the possibility
that two or more plugins may try to update the same quickfix list with
different output.  Also when a plugin is updating a quickfix list in the
background, the user may issue a command that creates or updates a quickfix
list. The plugin may then incorrectly use this new list to add the entries.

Linting your code, the vanilla way

You may want a linter plugin to lint your code in Vim but you probably don't need it. At least try the built-in way before jumping on the plugin bandwagon.

Defining makeprg

autocmd FileType <filetype> setlocal makeprg=<external command>

This autocommand tells Vim to use <external command> when invoking :make % in a <filetype> buffer. You can add as many similar lines as needed for other languages.

Insert the current line into the command-line

This is an intuitive command-line mode mapping to insert the current line.

It is no longer needed since 8.0.1787 because the feature is now built-in. See :help c_ctrl-r_ctrl-l.

Generalities first

Suppose you have weird taste and you absolutely want:

• your visual selection to always have a green background and black foreground,
• your active statusline to always have a white background and red foreground,
• your very own deep blue background.
