       @mirabilos @leahAh, thank you. I'm sure I promptly bookmarked them and forgot every single thing, because it wasn't a strong enough hyperfocus yet.My brain, I swear. If breathing weren't automatic, I'd forget that, too.

       @rl_dane @leah at least this way you can decide which rendering is more appealing to you ;)

       @joel @r1w1s1I'm strongly considering ordering it. I've got the original "An Introduction to Display Editing with Vi" paper written by Bill Joy and Mark Horton, so I'm going to try giving that a read.If that's too dense, I'll get the O'Reilly book. ;)Also, the O'Reilly book is available for free (to view) on the #InternetArchive, but while I don't mind reading a book on a laptop, reading a book in a web browser (even when full screen) is not my idea of a fun time. 😄
