I would learn it on the bus, and at the time I didn't have a data plan, so I could only access things I had already downloaded. The `:help` documentation is very thorough.

With `bash`, you can show which mode you're in by putting this in your `~/.inputrc`:

    show-mode-in-prompt on

    [foo@bar ~]$ # before turning it on
    @[foo@bar ~]$ # after
    @[foo@bar ~]$ set -o vi
    (ins)[foo@bar ~]$ # and after I press esc:
    (cmd)[foo@bar ~]$

What I do in these situations (assuming the job is still in the foreground, and can be interrupted), is suspend the task with ctrl+z and resume with `fg`, chaining it with some other command:

    fg; notify-send "done"

  git commit --fixup=':/message regexp'

If I were to apply this patch, this commit will…

- Simplify FooWidget

- Add optional table support

- Remove trailing whitespace

- Update fizzbuzz to 1.2.0

- Merge branch 'feature/ABC-123-foobar'

- Revert "Add foo to bar"

It has the option to enable cursive italics, which is disabled by default. Been using it for over a year. No complaints.

It's not quite a drop-in replacement, but it's pretty close. They have a free plan for 1,000 calls/day.

It's a browser extension, and it's been very pleasant to use. I came across it on a previous Show HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22545878

Now if only it worked on mobile…

Sweet! I've been wanting this feature for a while.

Somewhat unrelated: I discovered some time ago that the column command (from util-linux) can print trees of hierarchical data (up to 2 levels deep).

From the man page:

  $ echo -e '1 0 A\n2 1 AA\n3 1 AB\n4 2 AAA\n5 2 AAB' | column --tree-id 1 --tree-parent 2 --tree 3
  1  0  A
  2  1  |-AA
  4  2  | |-AAA
  5  2  | `-AAB
  3  1  `-AB

It should actually say VISUAL BLOCK mode. This is where you use `CTRL-v` to select a block of text. You can read more in `:help blockwise-visual`.

Also see the 'nrformats' option: `:help 'nrformats'`. You can include alphabetic characters to do the same thing with A-Z, for example.

This will "REuse REcorded REsolutions" of conflicted merges.

Once enabled, it will record how a merge conflict was resolved, and replay it back the next time it encounters it. Saves a lot of time in cases where you already solved the merge once before.

I found the Flexbox Zombies course to be helpful for that: https://flexboxzombies.com

It's free right now too.

This makes git diff highlight reindented or moved lines differently.

I use it to get diffs similar to when you pass -w, but with a bit more context.

It takes a bit of experimenting to keep it from looking like a fruit salad, but sometimes you get interesting results.

    puts "Hello world!"
