Emacs is a nice one as well. Its approach and purposes are just different. But in my opinion difference has a lot of benefits, so long life to all the editors and a big thank you to the wonderful devs who offer these tools to us (remember to buy them a coffee or more if you can).
I personally started with vim and I’m now using neovim for years. And I have to admit that it’s just an editor… But a perfectly optimized one.
It requires some efforts to learn the basic useful features (like horizontal and vertical motion) but I quickly saw its potential. What made me stick to it and willing to invest even more efforts is the fact that you build it to fit your needs like a glove through the interface customization, no limit and powerful keybindings remapping, and a collection of plugins for everything (without making it slow or bloated). With the right plugins, this editor can handle any regular typing or specific coding language, and makes your workflow way more efficient thanks to a great project management approach and/or speedy fuzzy finder file explorer.
I’ve barely started a series of posts dedicated to this incredible editor. Whether or not you’re using a vim or neovim, I’d recommend to stay curious because there’s other editors out there to be aware of and one may prefer them. I’ve tried quite some of themwhen moving to neovim but this one was just the one for me.
The 13 has touchscreen option as well but I’ve missed the budget limit. My bad!
I don’t own one but I’m looking at the framework 13 for my next machine. It has great reviews and fully support Arch. Its price is the main criticism against this machine, though there’s some arguments to justify it but no need to open a trolling post :)
I used to use the famous Zathura for a long time, but it’s really minimal. Sioyek is an incredible pdf reader so overlooked.
Amongst a lot of other things, it lets you:
I wrote a brief overview of it quite some time ago.
Seems outside of what one would expect from a terminal. There’s dedicated app to handle this task.
This doesn’t sound like the normal behavior. From the app description: “This indexing process may take some time, but it’s a one-time event. Once this initial indexing process is complete, the app will store the index on your device, and any new photos you add to your photo library will be automatically added to the index on the subsequent app launches.”
If your experience is different you may let the dev know so they can fix it.
Very nice! That’s a pretty big boy ;)
