I've been using Lilypond to write musical notation with code, and here I write about how to get a convenient, smooth experience while writing that code in Neovim!

I'm definitely planning to stick with this, and I'll be writing about some more fun things to do with Lilypond soon.

New post: Neovim Crash Course for Sysadmins

Not a beginner's guide. This covers the things you still get wrong after years of Vim - efficient navigation, why your paste lands in the wrong place (and the one-key fix), YAML indentation workflows, quick macros, and what Neovim's LSP actually gives you for infrastructure work.

Written for people who edit configs and playbooks all day.

When I worked on #offpunk 2.0, I divided the code into the netcache, ansicat and openk components, hoping someone would, one day, use them to do something I never imagined.

Well, it happened: there’s now a #neovim plugin using Openk to render gemini/web pages in you #vim editor!

The whole story:

(yes, it is a #geminiprotocol link, #gemini is a protocol, not a Google bot!)

Hello Neovim users, can you help me?

Every now and then, when I'm simply typing in insert mode, I get a desktop notification about wl-clipboard, and can't resume typing until I press Control+C (and i) or click the notification.

Neovim 0.11.6 on ptyxis terminal, in Wayland GNOME, with wl-clipboard installed, on Debian testing. I guess the relevant configuration is:

vim.opt.clipboard = "unnamedplus"

#neovim #blambers
