I use a different tool, visidata. It's especially nice when used as a psql
pager.
A text editor isn't the right tool for editing tabular data, imo.
As for KaTeX, what I would do is have a preview process running outside of vim that watches for changes in source files and re-renders. That's the Unix way of doing things.
Vim's command line, i.e, commands starting with
:
. The vanishingly few it does support are, again, only the most basic, surface-level commands (and some commands aren't even related to their vim counterparts, like:cwindow
, which doesn't open the quick fix list since the extension doesn't support that feature).The last commit to the supported features doc was 5 years ago, so no, it isn't. Seriously, you can't possibly look at that doc and tell me that encompasses even 20% of vim's features. Where's the quick fix list? The location list? The args list? The change list? The jump list? Buffers? Vim-style window management (including vim's tabs)? Tags? Autocommands (no, what it has does not count)? Ftplugins?
ins-completion
? The undo tree? Where's:edit
,:find
,:read [!]
, and:write !
?:cdo
,:argdo
,:bufdo
,:windo
?Compared to what vim can do, it is absolutely a joke.
