Introduction

Points to make:

• Helix drove me to this
• This is not my daily driver setup
• This blog post is meant to give recipes that inspire the reader, not a complete configuration they can copy.
• Do these count as plugins? I mean, yes, but since they are all single-origin (me), no.
• Thank the community: existing Lua plugins are effectively a "View Source" mechanism for how Vim works internally

Principles

• UNIX philosophy: we will fallback on other TUIs/CLIs for things outsize of NeoVim's text-editing purview

Utilities that we will reuse:

• my.term
• my.utils:
  • Range
  • Buffer
  • Co
  • etc.
