First impressions...

[dimaqq]

I've been using vim for a long while, customised, with plugins, so take my first experience with a grain of salt, maybe I'm not your target user.

1‍⃣ the default theme is funky, but not particularly useful?

2‍⃣ Grepping through the theme dir didn't help me find a decent theme, and with so many pointless these around, it took ages to find what I was looking for. Folks who use OLED or QLED displays need black to be black, because that's where these monitors shine (anti-pun intended), dark_high_contrast seems to be best built-in theme for that.

3‍⃣ where are the convenient aliases? acronyms? shortcuts? I mean like :vspl for :vsplit and :qall! for :quit-all!?

4‍⃣ where's :help? 😱 how do I even find my current settings? oh, horror!

5‍⃣ why does d delete single character immediately and dd doesn't delete a line?

6‍⃣ where's partial history search?

I've given 🧬 helix 🧬 a fair half an hour of my time, and it is fast. In the end I have to go back to my familiar setup to get things done.

Looking forward to great things from this project in the future!
