opening up a job position for text editors , requirements:

• not gnu
• terminal based
• easily extensible . i like lua , but ill take whatever
• vi binds . not kakoune binds . vi binds .
• will be mantained in one year

nvi is an option , but im looking for others too

please boost 🔁, and send your applications

@twinspin6 breaks rule 1 .

@snacks i said nvi is already an option

@eris dont do this to me

@twinspin6 kys

@twinspin6 sorry i didnt mean that sorry

@snacks @coolbean good one , ill try at some point

@twinspin6 i nevr say that but theres 3 ppl ragebaiting in my replies rn sorry 😭

@tisanae yes good pick

@twinspin6 genuinely the one piece of software that singlehandedly generated my hate for gnu software

@coolbean @snacks i consider “being able to display shell output in its ui , and run shell commands” already extensible

@coolbean @eris @snacks im not using that abomination , im using freebsd ed

@rose requirement 2 is quite important to me unfortunately , hell even gnome-text-editor has a vi mode , but like . bweh

@rose might give gnome builder a shot tho

@fiore > no kakoune binds
🥀

@lizzie im so sorry its so confusing wdym d deletes one character 😭 that s so so wrong

@fiore mfw i use that all the time

@coolbean @fiore yeahh it all works in terms of selections

@coolbean @lizzie thats the wrong way around tho 😭

@lizzie me too but i use x 😭

@fiore @coolbean whats the right way around?

@lizzie @coolbean vim too but like . i want vims binds . they make more sense to me . dd deletes a line . dw deletes a word

@lizzie @coolbean idk in vi its like . <action><motion>

@fiore @coolbean ohhh. im ngl i never got used to the vi world so i was really happy when i found helix and it seemed a lot more intuitive and composable

@coolbean @fiore idk lol

@lizzie @coolbean w selects a word in kakoune ???????? wtf ?????? hell no

@coolbean @lizzie no ???? in vi w moves the cursor 😭

@fiore fish with ed

@halva should give this a shot

@fiore @coolbean @lizzie in vi, dw selects the delete action and then selects a word to delete. kakoune just flips the two steps so you can see the selection being made before committing to deleting it.

@shitpostalotl @coolbean @lizzie that is not normal that is an abomination of the natural order of things .

@shitpostalotl @coolbean @lizzie wdym selecting a word is eb ?? thats not intuitive at all…

viw : visual mode , i for inside meaning without the surrounding delimeters, w for word . select the word . simple . vaw for including the delimeters

@fiore @coolbean @lizzie ok that’s stupid. just because something isn’t what you’d expect or are used to doesn’t make it an abomination. you’re being cucked by your familiarity.

the actual abomination with kakoune is the config language. it’s turing complete but everything is text expansions and shell calls.

@shitpostalotl @coolbean @lizzie im being silly calling it an abomination sorry i didnt make it clear , id just like to have smth familiar that makes more sense to me

@fiore @coolbean @lizzie ok. die.

@shitpostalotl @coolbean @lizzie bweeh

@coolbean @fiore @lizzie no. you die also.

@shitpostalotl @coolbean @lizzie genocide

@dfxluna @eris the bad text editor

@fiore @coolbean @lizzie genocide on worm pink users
