I'm surprised there's no acme-like presentation tool for vim

dominicm 2020-02-21T08:35:01.091600Z

You could write it in total acme style fairly trivially. But the viml should be pretty simple too

dominicm 2020-02-21T08:42:02.092100Z

Also. Vim *, :next, :prev

dave 2020-02-21T13:32:50.093200Z

i'm unfamiliar with acme. what is it like?

dave 2020-02-21T13:33:26.093700Z

i have tried out a couple of different vim-based presentation tools/plugins in the past, but i was underwhelmed

dave 2020-02-21T13:34:47.093900Z

e.g. https://github.com/tybenz/vimdeck

I watched the Rob Pike acme tutorial. It's very good. Gave a great overview of the points.

never had the time to actually look at this in detail but I have this in my bookmarks https://github.com/eiro/talk-acme-changed-my-life that might be related

Vim * worked really well. And the benefit was that I could modify my slides as I went and ended up with useful notes to turn into documentation.

dave 2020-02-21T17:09:21.098700Z

i've done something like that for some live demos where i have a bunch of files in a directory, ordered like 00-something, 01-something-else.clj, etc. it's quite nice. you can just open the first one and move through them with vim-unimpaired's [f and ]f bindings

dominicm 2020-02-21T17:10:45.099200Z

Oh that's awesome. I used the arglist and :next

dominicm 2020-02-21T17:13:04.100Z

I should just install unimpaired really. I've been defining my own very similar bindings for a while.

nate 2020-02-21T17:19:31.100600Z

the next/prev is cool, but I use the option toggling of unimpaired more, very useful plugin

dave 2020-02-21T17:57:29.101700Z

i'm a big fan of unimpaired. i would put it on a compilation of tim pope's greatest hits :D
