VimWiki: I write my notes in the terminal, like a monster

17 1

I've started doing notes in the terminal as well. I used Obsidian and Logseq for a while, mainly because I wanted something with a GUI so that I could recommend it to people who aren't comfortable with the terminal. But eventually I figured that a terminal solution was the right one for me, since I have a terminal open all the time anyway.

I switched from vim to kakoune a while ago ( kakoune.org ), so I use nb ( xwmx.github.io/nb ) instead of vimwiki.

nb is a terminal application that will open whatever your default text editor is.

Not a fan of vim, it's improper implementation of the ex command set and the way it ads line feeds, when you cut-n-paste between windows, makes it basically useless. I much prefer the BSD derived nvi, even on Linux. Like VIM it also handles multiple byte character sets, but UNLIKE VIM it is a COMPLETE and CORRECT implementation of vi/ex not a half-assed kind of sort of implementation.
