Helix-Vim – A Vim-like configuration for Helix
I like Helix, also because I'm a Rust fanboy, but I'm used to Vim use and only now discover this configuration. Let me delve deeper into the configuration of the editor again.

@… I am afraid I don’t have an answer for you, but I can tell you, based on similar, not-quite-so-pushy experiences, that Copilot in Neovim is just as overrated and pointless as it is in Vim.
(FWIW, I found the migration from Vim to Neovim surprisingly non-traumatic.)

I just love :vim: #vim for its macros 🀩
(vim macro in the #AltText)
#TexLaTeX

vim screencast. a latex file is open, cursor on a \section{Conclusion} line. The F8 key is pressed (as shown by an overlay), and above the \section line a fancy figlet with reading "Conclusion" in big ASCII art letters appears. Another time F8 is pressed, the next happens for the next section.

You can add this to your vimrc (and install figlet):

nnoremap <F8> k/\\.*section.*{<CR>f{vi{yO<ESC>pV!figlet -w120<CR>maVnk:normal gI% <CR>

TIL You can ripgrep (or grep) the buffer inside #vim #neovim and have the result back in the buffer.

@… Best of luck!
I checked my history and it seems I started out by symlinking the neovim config file to ~/.vimrc, and aliasing `nvim` to `vim`, with no other changes.
This was 8–9 years ago, apparently, so hopefully that still works.
I did eventually rewrite my config in Lua but only after plodding along fine for several years.

Fareless transit is the emacs-vs-vim debate of the urbanist nerd.
