This is the kind of stuff I love about vim. It’s full of weird inside jokes and Bram’s personal touches that make it feel human. Like someone actually had fun building it.

One of the tips in the video is neovim-exclusive, and others like :smile behave differently there, but that just adds to the charm. You can tell these tools were made by people who genuinely care.

IDK… these useless features give vim (and neovim) so much personality. They make these tools a joy to use in a way that’s hard to explain…

Thanks Bram (RIP) and thanks to everyone still carrying that spirit forward!
