VimConf 2020 online
[2020-09-11]
Since the normal VimConf was cancelled because of the pandemic, others organised an online version.
This happened in the weekend of September 5.
You can now find most of the talks on YouTube.
See the conference website.
Note that each speaker had its own way of recording, the quality is mixed. (Bram Moolenaar)
old but still useful videos
[2020-07-10]
Not much news has appeared here for a while, so let's dig up some old stuff!
The talk about Vim's 25th birthday can be found here. It gives a nice overview of how Vim became what it is now.
A much older talk, but about stuff that never gets old is 7 Habits For Effective Text Editing. Anybody who spends more than an hour a day editing text should watch it.
I recently discovered a University lecture about Vim here. It's amazing how many Vim tutorials can be found on Youtube. (Bram Moolenaar)

[2019-12-13]
More than a year after 8.1 and 2424 patches: Here is 8.2!
You can read the announcement on this page.
Main new feature is support for Popup windows.
To show it off a silly game was created.
Happy Vimming! (Bram Moolenaar)
