Just learned a neat new vim hack:

!xdg-open <cfile>

Got a http link under your cursor? PDF filename? Literally anything that xdg-open needs to know about?

^^^ :!xdg-open <cfile> will open it in your system browser.

Neato!

So I’ve been using vi for over three decades now, and vim was often the flavor of vi being used.

I just noticed that when editing a compressed file in vim (e.g. vim foo.gz), the implicit decompression step is entered into the undo log. You can hit u right after file load and get the compressed binary data.

Huh.
