I can really recommend this course. A bunch of us developers at @finkoslo had an inspiring time with Drew a couple of months ago. Great fun as well. It works perfectly as an online session.
I’m currently taking bookings of my Core Vim Course for the first half of 2021. I teach the class online. If you’d like to book a private session for your team, please get in touch. Prices and contact details here: vimcasts.org/training/privat…

The next cohort of the Code Quality Challenge starts in one week (Feb 1st). Each day, we complete a small exercise to make our codebases 1% better than the day before. It's free, language agnostic, and fun! People like it. (Retweets appreciated!) tuple.app/code-quality-chall…

I just learned about :terminal in Vim 8, and it is *amazing*

The joke on :q in #vim is so demode. Can you instead get out of terminal mode in #neovim?

Episode #75: Creating mappings for :terminal vimcasts.org/episodes/neovim… Just like :nnoremap and :inoremap create mappings for Normal and Insert mode, you can use :tnoremap in Neovim to create mappings for Terminal mode. #neovim

I still can’t believe Neovim has been a success. Insanely ambitious. xitter.gq/nelstrom/status/935489…

IMHO, Vim and tmux go together well because tmux makes up for Vim's shortcomings. With Neovim's :terminal feature (and job control), some of those shortcomings no longer exist.

Couldn’t agree more. I don’t need tmux any more for my (Neo)vim-related tasks. xitter.gq/nelstrom/status/935489…
