First of all. This is not another “how do I exit vim?” shitpost.
I’ve been using (neo)vim for about two years and I started to notice, that I,m basically unable to use non-vim editors. I do not code a lot, but I write a lot of markown. I’d like to use dedicated tools for this, but their vim emulators are so bad. So I’m now stuck with my customized neovim, devoid of any hope of abandoning this strange addiction.
Any help or advice?
Need more info.
The answer will still and always be, just use nvim.
What features do these dedicated tools have that make you want to use something other than nvim?
First thing is decent tables editor and the second is katex previewer.
Org Mode Tables
Latex preview
I use a different tool, visidata. It’s especially nice when used as a
psqlpager.A text editor isn’t the right tool for editing tabular data, imo.
As for KaTeX, what I would do is have a preview process running outside of vim that watches for changes in source files and re-renders. That’s the Unix way of doing things.
