16:42 <stenur> oh wow vim9 is released, with a new script engine.

16:45 <stenur> Now as cool as it is, i always think about going back to a version from not later than 2009 :-)); the only thing that i as a super superficial user won in the last twenty years, unless my memory totally fools me, is that C mode removes the then surplus "*" of comments when "joining lines together".

16:45 <stenur> What a mess! He and all the contributors worked so hard all this time! :-))

16:47 <ppetrov^> vi and co have always been way to complex for me

16:48 <stenur> I tried to switch to nvi, but that does not work out then for me either. I really tried to go to vile, but never really made it. I track the repo for six years (2016-11-15) with the desire to do the switch finally. But no.

16:49 <stenur> Could be 22 years vim now, more or less.

16:50 <ppetrov^> what text editors can preview a README.md formatting? I am currently using vscodium

16:50 <stenur> cat

16:50 <ppetrov^> cat?

16:50 <stenur> less?

16:51 <ppetrov^> no, i meant, if i write a formatted README.ms with charts, figures, etc. I am looking for an editor that can preview it in real time

16:51 <SiFuh> Dog?

16:52 <ppetrov^> like when I have "# Title 1", i want to see it as a title

16:52 <ppetrov^> **bold text** to be bold, etc

16:52 <stenur> Flesh! .. For Fantasy ??

16:53 <ppetrov^> sigh...

17:08 <braewoods> ppetrov^: got a sample file?

17:09 <ppetrov^> well, for example this: https://github.com/slackalaxy/depsck/blob/main/README.md

17:09 <ppetrov^> i don't want to have to put it to github in order to see how it looks

17:10 <ppetrov^> would be nice to be cable to preview it meanwhile. Anyway, I am using vscodium for this and it works, i was just wondering what other editors can do that

17:10 <ppetrov^> * cable -> able

17:18 <braewoods> Sublime Text can do it with a third party package.

17:19 <SiFuh> https://www.rt.com/pop-culture/558012-cheat-creator-admits-guilt

17:19 <ppetrov^> thanks, i will check it out. I am not 100% happy with vscodium

17:19 <braewoods> I paid for an Sublime Text and Merge license awhile back, an upgrade from my ST3 license.

17:20 <braewoods> It has an indefinite evaluation period.

17:20 <ppetrov^> nice

17:21 <braewoods> Ports to the major x86 OS. And ST4 added arm64 builds.

17:22 <braewoods> The main feature I've found useful is the automatic session management. Even my unsaved buffers get preserved in the event of program crash or otherwise.

17:23 <stenur> you mean .. the editor saves .. copies??? wow!

17:24 <ppetrov^> why shouldn't it?

17:29 <braewoods> ...

17:31 <ppetrov^> i am really asking. For example WPS office which I use, creates backups and several times the feature was VERY useful

17:31 <braewoods> anyway, it's just something i've never seen work out of the box like this. it saves copies of unsaved changes.

17:32 <braewoods> even upon normal program exit.

17:32 <braewoods> preserves my work state

17:32 <ppetrov^> well it sounds nice

17:33 <braewoods> the main extension language for it is python

17:34 <braewoods> it tends to make me more productive in general

17:35 <braewoods> i've been using it for years and it ended up being my prefered editor since i didn't feel like i was being forced to compromise on features

17:51 <braewoods> ppetrov^: this is the package I used for testing that feature you were mentioning. https://packagecontrol.io/packages/MarkdownLivePreview

17:52 <braewoods> there's also functional terminal emulators for ST but they're not super fast due to being python based

17:54 <SiFuh> I use ST only for irssi ;-)

18:13 <ppetrov^> thanks braewoods!
