Just to be clear, I believe that PR will fill the newly-opened Vim buffer with text from the clipboard - not selected text.

Does this get annoying if you want to commit something specific? Let's say you edit an old note and save the file. Then, in the time it takes for you to write a commit about this new edit, your cron script has added your change as a 'wip'.
Also, is there a nice way to set this up with a cron script so that you can use git via ssh (rather than https) but still keep a passphrase on the key? I seem to remember having problems with cron and git regarding ssh keys.
We might go down a rabbit hole here but your example (mad man, Anne Frank, whatever) doesn't clearly demonstrate that honesty isn't a virtue. It's a clear example of a real life situation, sure, but it doesn't show that telling the truth wouldn't be virtuous.
You could come up with similar examples where you take days off to interview at other companies. Obviously telling your boss will probably anger them (and might be seen as a breach of your contract if you do it during work hours) but the moment your boss actually thinks about it they would realise that your honesty provides them with much better evidence about what to do next. That might include finding out why you want to leave, how to keep you, ending the relationship on good terms, hiring someone else sooner than if you lied, etc etc.
Now, it's very difficult to tell the truth in these situations and people aren't expected to do so. But honesty is still a virtue, perhaps even more so, in these situations.
Why is this obvious (I'm not being facetious)?
I find this an interesting statement. Would you mind providing some clear examples of a real-life situation where honesty isn't a virtue?
I often find that lying is convenient (for the person lying) in the short term but its damage can be far reaching and difficult to predict. If you want to have meaningful and effective relationships (at home or at work) straight honesty is always beneficial.
I do remember working with someone who had Alzheimer's disease. I stopped being honest with her quite quickly as I figured that repeatedly reminding her of her husband's death was wrong. But I can't think of any other examples of my life when straight honesty wasn't a virtue. What about you?
My guess is most people would agree that if you put your feet on the table and take credit where it isn't due then you're probably an ahole. But this is a stereotype of the typical 'jerk'.
It's the jerks that 'play the game' and aren't necessarily blatant that do (perhaps unfairly) well.
I can't tell - is this a lot or hardly anything?
