Vim Galore: everything you need to know about Vim

All of the invisible buffers/registers/marks/etc makes me wish for a "Vim learner's IDE" -- something to expose the hidden things while you're learning.

Will this tell me why changing the version number of my terminal stops the mouse from working correctly in Vim? Oh "If you can still reproduce it now, it's most likeley a bug in Vim itself! Report it to the vim_dev mailing list." That didn't work out very well when I did it.

https://github.com/vim/vim/issues

"If nothing else works, report bugs directly: Bram Moolenaar Bram@vim.org"

I might try that eventually.

You could try Neovim (https://neovim.io/), the tracker and development is super-active and it's been decently usable for a while now.

> Q: Will Neovim deprecate Vimscript?

> A: No.

Aww.

Ideally, cleaner versions of plugins will be written over time without vimscript

Ugh. No package and it requires Cmake to build.

This is amazing, thank you.

Great compendium, congratulations on the work.

Thanks!

great documentation proposal. Is there any objective to keep it simple?

"simple" as in?

My intention is not only to show how to use Vim, but also list other programs often used in combination with Vim, explaining typical issues people encounter, historical facts, internal details, easter eggs, and so on.

So, yes, "all things Vim". :-)

It will keep growing, but I'll split it up so each section gets its own file.
