Language server for Bruno

Bruno is an API client similar to Postman and Insomnia, but it also works via CLI and is great for E2E testing.

I found a plugin that integrates with Bruno, but I only needed basic language server support, so I decided to create my own. It’s still a bit buggy, but it works well for the most common use cases.

It may also work with VS Code, although I haven’t tested it yet.

Is it possible to have Emacs eshell behavior but with Vim?

Hello Vimers,

Succinctly - I am looking for a workflow which allows to write commands in default "insert" mode, in a terminal emulator, but when needed can go into "visual" mode and navigate freely terminal content with Vim keybinds.
I've tried zsh-vi-mode and tmux copy-mode but that's not exactly it.

Yesterday I've stumbled onto github.com/mikesmithgh/kitty-scrollback.nvim plugin, which seems to be closest to what I'm looking for - albeit not tested yet. But maybe there is some better solution possible?

Auto-Formatting Problem

I have been getting a small annoyance when using auto formatting and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to resolve it.

I have the following options set.

formatoptions+=t
formatoptions+=a
wrap
textwidth=72
linebreak

Sometimes when changing text, when the new word is shorter and will fit on the previous line, auto formatting brings the cursor back to the previous line as it should, but when I type space to enter the next word the cursor does not advance because of auto formatting, and I have to type space a second time to actually get the space, which is is quite annoying because it hits only once in a while and causes run-together words when I'm retyping from something else and not looking at the editor window. So far I have not been able to find anyone with a fix for this.

Magical number increments

We have [`g ctrl-a`](https://vimhelp.org/change.txt.html#v_g_CTRL-A) to increment numbers linearly:
```diff
-Potato 0
-Potato 0
-Potato 0
-Potato 0
+Potato 1
+Potato 2
+Potato 3
+Potato 4
```
[vim cast] (https://github.com/kaddkaka/vim_examples?tab=readme-ov-file#increment-numbers-incremental-sequence)

But [this stackoverflow answer] (https://stackoverflow.com/a/6554728/393010) about ` :g/banana/exec "m ".i | let i+= 1 ` made me curious.

When inserting multiple lines with numbers or running macros or `:global` command. Is there any available builtin counter variable that I can hook into and use? Sometimes it would be nice to type a number sequence directly instead of having to first insert with 0 just make another pass and edit the numbers.

Why do :marks suck so much?

I rarely use marks, but the few times I do, I get frustrated because they don't work well when you delete lines. I know that's how they work, but it's always the same issue. In conclusion, they suck.

Disabling annoying highlight of "note" in scm files?

Hi Vimers, I recently upgraded my computer (MacOS) and suddenly vim syntax highlighting for scheme source files is highliting the word "note" in bright yellow. On my previous install this was not the case and I have not done anything custom with regard to .scm syntax highlighting.

It's making me crazy because I'm writing music software, so "note" appears a LOT.

If anyone can help, that would be lovely as so far my google searching has not helped!

thanks

:sleep VS termwait()

Can someone explain me, possibly with a couple of examples that I can reproduce, the difference between :sleep and term\wait()?

Get netrw to group/sort by extension first, then filename second?





Is there any way to get the netrw plugin to sort/group by filename extension, then by filename within each group of extensions?

Setting g:netrw_sort_by='exten' sorts files by extension, but within each group of extensions, it doesn't necessarily sort by filename.

Some question about colorscheme.

syntax on
colorscheme ...
highlight Comment ...
highlight LineNr ...

If I don’t use colorscheme, the Comment color won’t apply. but the LineNr color works fine. I don't know what's different.
How can I use highlight without colorscheme?
