Because a lot of my mappings use the <Leader> key, this is the only file
that *must* be loaded before all the others, otherwise the value of
leader when the script is read will be erroneous.
I also tried to use `git write-tree` and `git commit-tree` to emulate a
manual octopus merge to preserve the line history for each file. But
honestly that gave a graph that was too ugly for a history that really
did not need that amount of accountability. However it is a fun
exercise, and I recommend to everyone to try it at least once.
See Raymond Chen's blog `The Old New Thing`, with the post titled `How
to split out pieces of a file while preserving git line history: The
hard way with commit-tree`, for an explanation.
I was starting to get annoyed by all the spell-checks happening inside
strings and comments that underlined words which are not mistakes but
also not in the dictionary.
I don't like the colors of the gruvbox theme in lightline because errors
and warnings are not highlighted. I could fix the theme, but I've been
using instead wombat for a while and find that it looks perfectly fine.
I usually code in C99 and C++17 because that's EPITA's guidelines.
I'll have to check out the new C11/C18 features (notably threading and
type genericity...) someday.
I wanted to try something else, lightline seems more fun than the vanilla
statusline, and easier to modify than airline.
This is the bare minimum of status bar for me, without powerline
separators because I don't like them very much, and with basic
vim-fugitive integration.
I couldn't type most of my two letter leader bindings with such a short
timeout... This makes deletions in visual mode a bit longer, but I don't
think that's a terrible tradeoff.
I have never used `gutentags` or `gutentags_plus`, mostly because the
only project that I have done that could have benefited from it (the
Tiger Compiler) did not play well with `universal-ctags`.
To make navigation inside my configuration file easier, I added a
modeline at the end to enable markers for folding and added the markers
on all levels.
I added the `set hidden` option to keep modified buffers open in the
background and used that opportunity to modfify the order of my settings
and their categorisation.
