Emacs, Python, Treesitter and Eglot

"better" gx for vim

Vim has built-in gx mapping to open an URL under the cursor defined in the bundled netrw plugin. It is limited to barebone urls and quite often that is not enough.

I have come up with a better gx mapping (for me of course) that is able to open:

• markdown links [Hacker news](https://news.ycombinator.com 'link to Hacker news website');

• asciidoc links https://news.ycombinator.com[Hacker news];

Simple Templates In Vim

Vim has :h skeleton help topic for when you want to read a skeleton (template) file into a new file.

For me the idea of automatic templates is not that appealing, instead I would rather insert a template when I need it:

:r ~/.vim/asciidoctor/template_for_entity_relation_diagram

"Swap words" in vim

Quite a common task to swap words on a single line might be really cumbersome.

Consider following text transormation:

Vim gists

• `Better gx`_
• `Simple Templates In Vim`_
• `gist.vim`_ create and update gists out of existing files.
• `Swap words`_
• `Annoying search highlight "everyone" tries to get rid of`_
• `Some useful custom text objects`_
• `Simple journal`_

Annoying vim search highlight "everyone" tries to get rid of

You have turned on hlsearch for some reason in your vim config (well obviously to highlight your searches) but it gets in your way, right?

Now you try to find a solution to this problem, like

1. spam random searches /klsdf<CR>

2. do :nohl command or

Some useful custom text objects for vim

Simple journal with vim

So how would you use your text editor to make a daily notes?

For vim I end up using simple approach:

• have a ~/docs/journal/ directory where I keep yearly journals in asciidoc format (one can use markdown of course).

• have a mapping to quickly open a journal ready to enter you thoughts, notes or a todos for a day.
