@GossiTheDog Oh that won’t do it. I used to have recurring nightmares of armed gangs hunting me. Now? #vi

Always coming back. Never tiring. Never dying.

Bit like that guy from the #Sisu film actually. I’m guessing that’s where the #Finnish swear word ‘vittu’ comes from. A vi that opened from a teletype. It would just sit there, undead, following you, patiently, until your last breath.

Continued thread

switched to the ipython repl to fix this

ipython also doesn't use readline anymore and thus doesn't respect inputrc but blessedly does have a vi-mode you can enable with a cli flag or in your ipython config file.

❤️ With all the installations on #GNU/#Linux (servers, vms, desktop, ... ), #BSD and #Unix systems, #MacOS, #Microsoft #Windows and WLS) I feel comfortable to claim there or way more than 1 billion installations of Vi*; often without people knowing about it.❤️

❤️ Thank you Bram Moolenaar, Christian Brabandt, the whole #Vim community, and all the people from projects like #NeoVIM, #Nvi, #Busybox #Vi, who develop and maintain their #vim flavour. ❤️

me: why is the python repl not respecting my .inputrc

python: we have a new fancy repl

python: you should really try it it's great

python: it's got alllll these great new features

python: they're really great, so much better than our old garbage repl

python: it doesn't use readline so there's no vi mode

me: ...

python: the old repl isn't going away though so you can keep using that

@ksaj I had microemacs in Mark Williams C on ST, and edwin in MIT Scheme on Unix, but as soon as stevie (ancestor of Vim on ST) came out, I switched to that. Night and day in performance, and vi lets you write filters in any language you want.

I've always just used the REPL for my Scheme or Lisp or any other language, it works fine that way.
