I read through the first 2 days, and felt fairly comfortable with selecting elements, so I did not follow along on the first two days. I probably should have, but there are only so many hours in the day. Why Learn D3 # [2] D3 is the ubiquitous dynamic visualization library for building custom interactive visualizations on the web. It is a bit low level, and more verbose than many other libraries that build upon it, but if you want full control D3 is the way to go. I have used a few libraries built upon d3 i...

Vim Notes

vim notes nvim lua # [1] norcalli/neovim-plugin [2] nvim lsp # [3] python-lsp/python-lsp-server [4] Using c to change text # [5] I have gone quite awhile without using c and instead using d. The reason that I started using c is because it automatically places you into insert mode. This not only saves me one keystroke for commands such as diwi is now ciw, but it also works with the repeat . command!!! This is huge. When refactoring a document I had been creating a macro to change one word to another, using c instead of d allows the use of the . rather than needing to create a macro. Case for vim # [6] Sublime/VSCode cannot - edit a macro register - register - quickfix - gF autocomplete # [7] repeats previously typed text 1. Whole lines |i CTRL-X CTRL-L| 2. keywords in the current file |i CTRL-X CTRL-N| 3. keywords in 'dictionary' |i CTRL-X CTRL-K| 4. keywords in 'thesaurus', thesaurus-style |i CTRL-X CTRL-T| 5. keywords in the current and included files |i CTRL-X CTRL...
