Just enable perpetual bash history and install fzf. That will get you CTRL-R (and a lot of other niceties) out of the box.

The dot command, as you probably well know, is a macro that captures the last change: was it '3cw' or 'cE' or '7s' or <visual>s or 'ct)', all changed to the last insert. All intuitively without you even having to think about it.

Much more powerful than "change all my selections to the next input" IMO.

Whats with all the fuss over multicursor. How is this different from just using '.'

I naively assumed it would work on the already installed homebrew packages. No such luck.

After installing, 'nb list' and thus eg. 'nb outdated' will yield the empty list! I have absolutely no use for a competing homebrew installation that is mostly compatible ..

I was lucky enough that my first employer ran the very first 4.2BSD in Denmark outside academia (on a DEC-VAX/750), so i grew up with Bill Joy's newfangled "vi" and spent countless hours recap'ing the cheat sheet.

To this day stuff like "3dw" and "d}{{[P" are just second nature. Very much enjoying moders stuff like neovim and CoC/LSP too.

And yes, nvim is perferctly suitable for Java and maven with ctags/ripgrep/fzf etc. plugins

More often than not you want 'de' or 'ye' rather than 'dw' or 'yw'

Sweet, very impressed.

To be really usable, for embedded and otherwise, a well documented and ergonomic C API for bindings is needed though.

The closest I could find was "If you need to add more predefined functions, add them in intrinsics.h." I will take a look though, this seems really promising

EDIT: Looks to be pretty easy to tack an external registration mechanism onto intrinsics.h. Good to go then ..

.. Only two SO comments at this point .. come on folks :-)

I wish premake could gain more traction. It is the comprehensible alternative to Cmake etc.

Oh yes. For one thing "hexdump -C ." would work out nicely in those days.

I always found buildroot a lot easier to fathom and harness. And certainly flexible enough with the ability patch every included recipe and package.
