For some time now, my KeepassXC browser extension keep informing that I’m using older version of KeepassXC I usually upgrade immediately, so I did. Or so I thought. I saw the same warning couple of days later. I thought there was new version, but there wasn’t. So installed it again. This happened one more time, and I realized that even after upgrade, KeepassXC remained at older version (2.66, but as you’ll see it doesn’t matter)

Things broke. After RTFM, I noticed that there is :LvimUpdate command in LunarVim. But by this time, my config was so broken that nothing worked 😞 Luckily, I found the old instructions that helped me initially.

It comes with its own features like the side panes for Files, Buffers, Markdown etc. Also, it won’t really quit. :q! would destroy the window, but it would remain in the dock. So for main work, I used Emacs. Then today in Doom Emacs Telegram group, someone started talking about Vim.

It was in late Feb 2022 I just realized that I have not posted anything in entire of March 2022 The reason for this microblog was to make it low-friction so that it does not go the way of my other blogs with month(s) long and sometime year long silence. But then why didn’t I post anything here for a month ?

After setting up LunarVim, I wanted to get it to work with a NeoVim GUI I had tried some in the past, but did not like any. Then (I think on Discord) I came across some discussion that they got LunarVim (lvim henceforth) to work with Neoclide. I couldn’t even get it to run 😞 I tried VimR, and it worked. i.e. I got it running. But I didn’t like their default look.

I had never really left, but since both Doom and Lunar are NVim based configurations, they may overwrite the configurations (like from ~/.local/share/nvim/) So I completely removed both Doom and Lunar and reinstalled. I also installed ltex LSP for makrdown, which I could not do with Doom Nvim. My other requirement was projectile equivalent. I found that there is :Telescope projects built-in with Lunar.
Continue Reading »Just I was getting excited about Doom NVim, today I read (on their Discord server) that Alejandro aka NTBBloodbath on github has lost interest in Doom Nvim To quote him : I’ll slowly try to finally make Emacs my primary code editor (always failed in each attempt haha), Neovim’s ecosystem isn’t going in the direction I would like and I think it never will be so I’m very frustrated and sad with it.

I learnt a lot from everyone on the team, and made some new friends (I already knew a lot of folks from this team before I joined) during my stay. I will continue to cheer stck.me from the sidelines Some of my contributions during my time with scrollstack:

I already wrote about Lunar NVim Today I discovered Doom-Nvim Port of (sorta) Doom emacs to neovim ecosystem. What is not to like ? 😄 As I wrote in Lunar NVim post, I am happy with Doom emacs. But this might make me switch back to (n)vim 😄
