Lazier way:

:w !sudo tee %

This is mildly infuriating?

*We can keep yeet and yeet the rest.

Maybe I’m just lazy, I’ve only invested 10-15 hours total into my config.

Once I got it working, I’ve never bothered to really even touch it. (I probably should, it’s most likely months of out of date…just like my NixOS config…)

Next time I make changes will probably be when I update to 0.10 for inlay hints and set that up along with attempting to fix that error message that randomly pops up every time I start Neovim.

Also probably not the typical Neovim config experience, but I’ve configured it enough to get of my way, now I just want to write code.

For an artificial supreme intelligence, it sure does suck at spelling.

You should try it. Quick and easy way to get some fresh air…

Let me guess: Hannah Montana?

Some posts work, but you can limit your account visibility to logged in users.

I mean, there’s probably some workaround involving faking the microphone, right?

I would do a cool S.

It’s surprisingly possible (and easy) too… a little bit of tinkering with X11’s compositor API would probably do the trick.

IDK about Wayland tho :/

LMDE and PopOS are my consistent recommendations to newcomers. If one doesn’t work, the other will.

That’s fair. I started with what everyone was using at the time, which just so happened to be Neovim. I’m also too lazy to switch/try anything else.

Plus, I’m not sure if Neovim simply extends Vim functionality. I know it’s a fork, but the codebase has changed so much I’m pretty sure many newer features of Vim need to be manually added to Neovim. Inlay hints in the middle of lines is already implemented in Vim: as for Neovim, it’s not here yet (well, it’s coming in 0.10, but I don’t use nightly so I don’t have it)

I mean, I’d just bind vim to nvim. If you still want vim accessible, bind it to something else. I don’t really see any downsides to Neovim: it’s decently backwards compatible, enough to use most old plugins, with the advantages of Lua config and a much wider repository of plugins.

IDK, I exit vim and promptly fall asleep.

Thank you for that information. I had no idea that command existed, I guess because primarily I’ve seen people sending patches over email. I’ve updated my original comment with additional information. Thanks for calling me out 😅

I mean, Git doesn’t natively have pull requests either…the “official” method involves sending patches through email. It seems that Fossil has a similar setup (although without the tool)..

PRs are a feature introduced by GitHub. I guess Fossil bundles would be close enough to them.

EDIT: I was wrong. Turns out Git does have a pull request feature. It requires you to upload your code to a public repository, after which it generates a message asking to pull, which can then be sent via any medium to the repository owner. It doesn’t require patches, or GitHub. Differences to note: these aren’t like GitHub/Gitlab/Gitea pull requests, where you’re given a simple web interface and have to merge from a repository on that instance. Your repository can be hosted anywhere using git request-pull. You’ll most likely then send the request through email, and get feedback in the form of replies. If you push newer changes to that branch, you’ll have to request another pull, as request-pull only specifies a commit range. But yeah, I guess got technically does have pull requests. (For the scope of OP’s question however, I don’t believe he meant this.)

Damn, I used to be that guy too (the one who talks about Linux whilst using Windows). I actually posted my Windows rice as a Linux rice in unixporn a while ago…it really did look like Linux.

I use NixOS now, but I keep Windows on a separate drive in case I ever need it.

Oh that’s smart! And then nushell just handles the data for you…I might try that!

Blasphemy…don’t bring Microsoft’s shitty proprietary editor and shitty proprietary OS near my holy text editor.
