• regular Vim has lua?!

  Lua is quite small, encouraging distros to include it. The ubuntu gvim has, and the gvim AppImage linked from vim.org does. The default Makefile from github is set up to not include it, but you can uncomment one line there to get it. Source: over 1 year ago

• is there a way to make highlighted text persistent after quit when using something like [match Search /\%'.line('.').'l/] ?

  I've not used vimwiki locally (tho I'm old enough to remember the Vim wiki on vim.org :), but I think what you are wanting to do is extend vimwiki's syntax file. I presume it installs one at $VIMRUNTIM/syntax or or ~/.vim/syntax. If this sounds right, then create a ~/.vim/after/syntax/vimwiki.vim file and place your match command in there. Then everytime you open a vimwiki file it should apply your... Source: over 1 year ago

• vim.org - Is there a reason for this 1800s-esque design?

  Vim.org has 242k total visitors, tailwindcss.com has 4.4m, planetscale.com has 412k, jpl.nasa.gov has 2.6m, all built with Tailwind, all several years younger than Vim's website. Unnecessary comparison, unnecessary defence. It's a valuable tool, fine, but a complete disregard for anyone who doesn't love a crappy website and would like to navigate a website like a normal human is not something to be defended. Maybe...

• What is YOUR process of writing ?

  I write in Vim with some customizations in my vimrc to gear it more towards prose writing than code editing. It's not pretty, but Normal Mode and Ex commands are the most powerful text editing tools out there, so that means I spend less time on making corrections and other edits. Source: over 2 years ago

• are there any other zoomers on this sub? How did you get into retro gaming?

  Https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ You more or less just download and install and it asks if you want to install all the games otherwise you download on a case by case basis. Source: 12 months ago

• [PC] [~2015] A truck driver flash game with a twist.

  If you can remember that the word truck was in the name then you can try to download Flashpoint, write "truck" in the search bar and see if you can find something there. Source: 12 months ago

• Where to play Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident in 2023

  Since flash is gone its gotten harder to play the game online. I recommend https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ Flashpoint since it is the restored original flash experience. You do have to download flashpoint but it is free, easy and there's tons of other saved flash games too. There are remakes out there but none will be identical to the original, which you get by using flashpoint. Source: 12 months ago
