It's not often that I deploy a quick change to my ~/.vimrc and it so thoroughly improves my life, but setting <Shift> <Tab> to correct the most recent misspelled word has done exactly that, right up there with when I learned about <Ctrl> p and <Ctrl> n in insert mode. #vim

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>

I've been using the #HelixEditor as my daily driver for the better part of a year now and I couldn't be more happy with it. I've managed to get a near-IDE setup and experience thanks to zellij and some awesome TUI tools.
This article aligns well with my experience, I recommend reading it if you're "modal editor curious" or dissatisfied with your (neo)vim config maintenance burden.
