Hi Marc, I like vis very much. It's blazing fast and comes with good defaults. The following things I noticed:
- Setting defaults requires patching some c file instead of config.def.h - Background/Foreground colors are only applied when syntax highlighting is possible for the currently loaded file - I miss that I can't align multiple cursors in insert mode, i.e. to align all "=" over multiple lines. The editor kakoune supports this nicely - I also miss C-a and C-x for dealing with numbers .. but that's just a minor inconvenience right now - It took me ages to start vis with the proper VIS_PATH and VIS_THEME settings. My installation directory for vis is ~/.local which is not part of the default locations. Furthermore, the manpage still refers to ~/.vis as the location where to put my personal configuration but it is actually ~/.config/vis. I had to create a little shell script that sets VIS_PATH and VIS_THEME before starting vis. In my opinion these obstacles make it very hard to start playing around with it. Since I'm using a light terminal background, I recreated the papercolor theme. Please feel free to integrate it: https://github.com/jceb/dotfiles/blob/master/config/vis/lexers/themes/papercolor.lua Keep up the good work!
