vim calendar for 2024?
For obvious reasons, there won't be a 2024 calendar version by Bram Molenaar (RIP). Link to 2023 version
Is someone from the community continuing this tradition, maybe in memoriam Bram Molenaar? I have grown quite attached to this calendar over the years.

Hi geniuses, can you say me what will be the abbreviation for paste in vimrc for get a square title using the digraphs respective, for example this abbr recua and get this
┌─┐

classic vim + python + ruff + autocompletion
Hi there,
I am building my own config for classic Vim and have encountered a problem.
So I decided to use coc.nvim + ruff extension (fixing/linting) + ale (for autocompletion)
However, I believe this is causing conflicts between these tools.

How to configure spell check highlighting in nvim lua?
I'm trying to modify the highlighting colors for nvim's spell check, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried in my options.lua file as a test `vim.cmd("highlight SpellBad cterm=bold gui=bold guisp=Red")`, as well as with other error types like SpellLocal, SpellRare, and SpellCap.
I'm not sure whether the command is correct, or if I'm placing it in the correct place. In the end, I'd like for all error types to be bolded and highlighted with red, orange, cyan and yellow respectively. Any help

New to vim, how do I get started and what are the benefits of using vim?
I took a linux foundation course and in that they introduced me to vim and to me , it seemed like a pretty good way to get good at syntax because I have to do all of the hard work rather than relying on intellisense.
I tried to install linux for using vim but my pc has some bitlocker bullshit so I couldn't install it so I downloaded vim on windows
So far I'm only aware of writing files and exiting vim. The course did tell me some vim commands but there were too many of them.
So how do I get started?
Is Vim suitable for large scale development or only for C?
and What other benefits do I get by using vim?

Is There a Way to Choose Completions by Pressing Number Keys?
For example, the vim completion list will show 5 options. Rather than pressing down 5 times to get the 5th option, I'd like to just press '5' and have it be chosen. I've been tinkering around with feedkeys(), but nothing I am doing is working.
Do you guys have any suggestions on what I could try?

Question: What is the full list of state that is or is not saved between Vim sessions?
Features like marks, command history, registers, set commands, search history or anything else you are aware of.
If I close Vim and reopen, what history do I have to work with to get right back into what I was working on? Specifically state that is saved automatically by default.

How to "cgn" with word under cursor?
For example, let's say I have this code:
const array = ;
^
console.log(array)
const array = ;
console.log(array)
const array = ;
console.log(array)
const array = ;
console.log(array)
And my cursor is at the first word array. What I want to do is to change the word "array" to something else and do the same for "array" on the line below it. Then, do the same proecess for every other one of them, so I get something like this
const names = ;
console.log(names)
const people = ;
console.log(people)
const list = ;
console.log(list)
const idk = ;
console.log(idk)
What's the best way to do this? What I've done is ciw names jll. and did the same thing for every other paragraph. In this case it's not a huge problem because it's just a few lines. I know I can do something like *cgn<Word-to-type>. but it doesn't really fit my needs because if I did that on the first code it would look something a bit like this
const array = ;
console.log(changed)
const changed = ;
console.log(array)

Would just like your feedback.
Hi, i have a problem.
I have been using vim for some time and i have become one with it (maybe not fully yet, more like 0.7 with it). But the problem i keep having is that im so adapted to vim, that i cant type normally anymore. For example every time i write in Apple notes or even here, i would love the ability to use vim commands.
Why stop at using vim only in the terminal?
Im thinking about creating an app that allows the use of vim controls in every textfield on mac.
My only question to you is - would an app that does the appeal to you?
are you in?
Thanks!

Copy to clipboard with motions!
-- kickstart.nvim starts you with this.
-- But it constantly clobbers your system clipboard whenever you delete anything.
-- Sync clipboard between OS and Neovim.
-- Remove this option if you want your OS clipboard to remain independent.
-- See :help 'clipboard'
-- vim.o.clipboard = 'unnamedplus'
-- So, meet clippy.lua
-- a collection of mappings to allow you to yank to clipboard using <leader>y
-- as well as a few nice paste options, and ctrl+a
-- in normal mode, it accepts motions as well.

Navigate to function definition
Like in the VScode, if we do CMD+click over a function in a file ( ctrl + click in windows), then it navigates to the root definition function. Can we have same functionality in the vim too? Also, is this possible without any plugins?

i, but inclusive?
In other editors, I have set up keyboard shortcuts that allow me to copy/cut/paste-over everything inside the closest surrounding ()s, including the ()s themselves—ditto for other punctuation like “”s. It seems like it should be easy to do something similar in vim, but I’m very new and haven’t figured it out. I can do:
di{
and this cuts everything inside the closest surrounding {}s, but it doesn’t touch the {}s themselves. In fact, it leaves a newline between them.
So I’m wondering if there’s an inclusive form of di{, or some other straightforward approach for doing this.
Thanks, and apologies if there’s an obvious answer here.
(Bonus question: Is there something like dt} that works across newlines?)

Make man pages (keywordprg) behave sanely in full screen mode on large monitor
So, I had a few issues with the man program while I code in C.
Problem:
1.) I kind of hate having the man page render in full screen window.
2.) I have no interest in viewing a page concerning some shell utility with the same name.
Solution:
1.) Set the $COLUMNS variable before the man command.
2.) I specified the ordering I wanted the man pages to appear in.
setlocal keywordprg=COLUMNS=135\ man\ -s\ 3,2,7,5,1
And I wrote this in my ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/c.vim file, and I executed:set ft=c in a "c" buffer to activate the changes. Still I feel comfortable with switching from full screen to half screen window, but at least the text are formatted as they should be now, and I get to the correct manual section.
Here are a great Reddit post with keywordprg snippets

Preface: I am a Vim using on my Linux box. I recently found an app that lets me run a stripped down Linux on my iPhone, which allows me access to Vim. Productivity type activities, example: lists and checklists are a pain without a proper keyboard.

Using SonarLint language server in Vim?
Has anybody managed or got an idea how to make [SonarLint Language Server](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonarlint-language-server) work with e.g. [vim-lsp](https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp)?
There's flag `-stdio`, so it should be now possible - as proven by Neovim plugin [sonarlint.nvim](https://gitlab.com/schrieveslaach/sonarlint.nvim).
So taking that plugin as an example, I've extracted the server from [SonarLint for Visual Studio Code](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonarlint-vscode), created myself a wrapper:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
DIR=/path/to/extracted/extension
java -jar "$DIR"/server/sonarlint-ls.jar \
-analyzers "$DIR"/analyzers/* \
"$@"
And registered server in _vimrc_:
if executable("sonarlint-ls")
au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server(#{
\ name: "SonarLint",
\ cmd: [ "sonarlint-ls", "-stdio" ],
\ root_uri: {-> lsp#utils#path_to_uri(
\ lsp#utils#find_nearest_parent_file_directory(
\ lsp#utils#get_buffer_path(),
\ [ ".git/" ]
\ )
\ )},
\ allowlist: [ "python" ],
\ })
endif
So according to promo video [SonarLint for Python: How to Get Started](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAz9O_N1Vs8) when opening Python file:
def foo():
a = 10
b = 10
print(a is b)
I should get a hint to replace `is` with `==`, but nothing happens, despite server running.
Fresh log from vim-lsp is quite empty:

All numbers reduced by 1
I was editing a file in Vim and then noticed that all the numbers in the file had been reduced by one. So, 1000 was 999, and 2 was 1, 0 was -1, etc.
I want to know what I did wrong to make that happen, and I know that I had redone something with control-r, so it probably has something to do with that.
When I look at the Vim history (using : and up arrow, and also in the .viminfo file) it is missing all the commands I executed on that day, so I can't find it there.
I found this online How to perform arithmetic manipulations on numbers in Vim? - Stack Overflow , and I may have done something similar to that, but I can't replicate those instructions.
Does anyone know what I may have pressed to reduce all numbers by 1?
