       I love OpenBSD so much, that I installed my VIm config on it.Your OS is officially blessed when my .vimrc touches it. Good day.(currently working on my LibreWolf port and needed easier split handling, because Vim's default split handling sucks)EDIT, to be clear, this is my vim setup: https://vimuser.org/vim.htmla lovely lady set me up on this a decade ago and i used it ever since. the nice lady who showed me vim.need to fix the fonts. those are always fucked on a new system. will fix later.

       @libreleah OpenBSD is one of the few *nixes I've never tried. I may have to spend a weekend with it!

       @lucy it's in the bottom right corner of that screenshot. 1/42 as you see. so i'm on line 1, in that example.showing them on the left hand side would reduce the amount of text i can display going across the screen

       @lucy i didn't even think about it until you asked me. i rarely have a need to know what line number i'm on. the only time i need to know, as one example, might be if a compiler told me about an error on a specific code line

       @libreleah oh really?Damn, I use it all the time. I use relative line numbers and jump around the codebase with e.g. "8j" quite frequently, especially at work.

       @lucy i just hold down pgup/pgdown, seeing everything that flies past (like lt commander data in star trek), instantly stopping when i see the part of the file i want (or i just search for what i want and hold N a couple of times). then i either do a /search for the first few letters of the line i want, or i use the scroll wheel on my mouse to get there quickly (i have mouse support)

       @lucy if a source file starts getting to be more than 500 lines, you probably need to start thinking about splitting it up anyway, and modularising whatever code you're working on. unless there's no real reason to split it. vim has a bunch of really archaic features that i don't use at all.

       @lucy i heavily use splits, horizontally and vertically. the way i work, normally i'm working on a specific part of a file. so a will have two big vertical splits open on the target file. and one or two other files on the third vertical split (in this example screenshot, 2 hozizontal file splits are opened on the 3rd vertical split)in this way, i don't move around too much. i just write what i need where i need it. then i :wqa! and git commit -a -sand then all is well in the universe
