I miss the feature in readline (Bash/Zsh) where Ctrl+x, Ctrl+v switches to Vi command mode temporarily. In that workflow, entering Insert mode switches back to Emacs mode. PSReadLine has a command ViCommandMode, but binding it directly in Emacs mode will report errors on every key input. The solution requires handling the mode change event to toggle the global EditMode between Emacs and Vi.
Obsidian is my go-to note-taking app because of its availability on all desktop and mobile platforms with the bonus of Vim mode. In this guide, I’ll show you how I customize the Vim mode in Obsidian to maximize my note-taking efficiency.
I discovered Noctis theme recently and found that the font Cartograph CF is really interesting.

I used to use Visual Studio Code in Windows as mentioned in a previous post, ♯ My Windows Environment Setup. But its startup time is terrible on Surface Go, so I decide to give vim another try.
I rarely used more than two marks in Vim, so why not use them as a stack and keep latest history? The idea is that First shift existing marks in a-y to b-z, thus original mark z is dropped. Then save current position into mark a. function! PushMark(is_global) if a:is_global let l:curr = char2nr('Z') else let l:curr = char2nr('z') endif let l:until = l:curr - 25 while l:curr > l:until call setpos("'" . nr2char(l:curr), getpos("'" . nr2char(l:curr - 1))) let l:curr -= 1 endwhile call setpos("'" . nr2char(l:curr), getpos(".")) endfunction " Push to marks a-z nnoremap <silent> m, :call PushMark(0)<CR> " Push to marks A-Z nnoremap <silent> m. :call PushMark(1)<CR>
Ansible uses YAML to define tasks, playbooks and handlers. If the files follow some conventions, it is easy to index them using Exuberant Ctags.
