Vim's 400 line function to wait for keyboard input

You delved[1] into the vim source and found this. You offered no solution except to use neovim, which happens to be 'supported' by the /amazing/ company you're the CEO of. You're very well practiced in false modesty and apologies but fuck you; I'm not sure you know what sincerity means.

I'm sorry if I don't think you're being sincere. Let's have a drink sometime! Let's network!

1. Anything as old as vim, continuously developed, will have any number of these frankenfunctions. They're not hard to find.

Judging from this comment and others, you seem uninterested in civility or truth. I doubt anything can change your mind on this issue.

Still, others read these comments, so I feel compelled to offer corrections: 18 months ago, I pledged $50 to Neovim's Bountysource. My company has not contributed a cent to Neovim. We maintain plugins for many text editors, including Vim and Neovim. That's it.

You keep slinging mud, but there is no ulterior motive at work here. I urge you to treat people more charitably in the future.

Civility works best with mutual respect. That respect might be hollow or fleeting but it's established and traded on. When two people meet for the first time there's a credit exchanged. That's the humanity-freebie.

Don't ask for sympathy ("They don't want civility or truth!!!"), ask yourself why you were treated "uncivilized".

Truth? I suspect that's a glitch in translation.
