Reply To: Fresh view of text editors – command and graphical variations

[Brian MasinickModerator]

I am using fvim, a variation of Neovim using a graphical interface written
in F#. I’ll give nvui a try in comparison in a moment. Back with nvui.
There is one visual difference with the LUA interface versus the F#
interface. The LUA interface glides to the next character; the fvim F#
interface jumps to each character, more similar to the other methods.

Now using the regular nvim and it is the command line version, which
clearly moves character by character. Otherwise they are all identical
in the commands used in each of them.

Here’s a way with either *vim or Doom Emacs to format text to fit neatly
on an 80 character wide screen. The fmt command can format text. The :
character tells the interface to accept a command, the character % selects
the entire buffer, the ! character indicates that a shell command follows,
and fmt formats the text within the visible window range. The -w option
can vary the width; default is 75 character text width.
