What Hacker News says?
Nice start, looks like a nice bridge to Vim for textmate users. It's missing a few of the basic vim movement commands (which I have on a wallpaper I put together http://naleid.com/blog/2010/10/04/vim-movement-shortcuts-wal... ), but has most of the big ones. The ones I use quite a bit that don't seem implemented are: C-d - half page down C-u - half page up ge/gE - go to the end of the previous word (you do have e/E…

HN discussionI agree that this is way too much information to be useful. I like focused cheatsheets that help you on a particular aspect that you're trying to improve. I created a cheatsheet for the most important vim movement commands that helped me focus to memorize all of them rather than get overwhelmed ( http://naleid.com/blog/2010/10/04/vim-movement-shortcuts-wal... ).

HN discussionI use zsh too, but did something similar that should also work in bash: http://naleid.com/blog/2011/10/03/using-dropbox-to-share-you... I link my dot files as well as Documents, Pictures, Music, and Desktop directories that are also normally controlled by OSX. Having those shared across multiple computers is awesome. Sit down at a computer, and it's there. I also have my zsh files checked in to bitbucket ( https://b…

HN discussionI did something similar a little while ago and shared my zshrc setup/config with a basic set of files that people can use as a default and override. http://naleid.com/blog/2009/05/13/shared-zshrc-file/ The repo to clone is on bitbucket: http://bitbucket.org/tednaleid/shared-zshrc/

HN discussionI'm just diving into clojure now and have finally gotten my vim environment set up with a working repl (war scars here for vim users trying to get going: http://naleid.com/blog/2011/12/19/getting-a-clojure-repl-in-... ) This is exactly the kind of next step I was looking for beyond the 4clojure and clojure koans stuff. I'll be working through it this weekend. Thanks!

HN discussionI do something similar to this and have the majority of my zshrc version controlled and publicly available. http://bitbucket.org/tednaleid/shared-zshrc I put together a blog post on how to use it along with some descriptions of specific aliases/functions that I find really useful: http://naleid.com/blog/2009/05/13/shared-zshrc-file/ Global aliases are one of the things I love about zshrc. In addition to that, the fi…

HN discussionI tend to think that this is the case as well. If you look at the GitHub Language Stats ( http://github.com/languages ) you'll see that Ruby takes up 38% of all lines of code on GitHub. JavaScript takes up another 25%. Python's only at 6% and Java, C++ and C files combined are only 8% of the total LOC. Git actually is a nice tool and it's getting quite a bit better, but I prefer mercurial, and I think that it's an e…
