Show all listed buffers in a tabline (current bufnr highlighted, modified
marker '+'), and reserve a permanent signcolumn so width doesn't jitter when
gitgutter/ALE/LSP signs come and go.
- ui.vim: TLBuild() + TabLine{,Sel,Fill} hl groups via ColorScheme autocmd;
set signcolumn=yes for non-TTY (overrides core.vim's previous logic)
- core.vim: drop non-TTY signcolumn branch (centralized in ui.vim)
The full-column ColorColumn was visually overwhelming on every line, especially
with default vim's LightRed (kicked in silently when solarized8 wasn't installed).
Replace it with an OverLength match that only highlights characters past the
buffer's textwidth.
- editing.vim: OverLength matchadd, refreshed on FileType/BufWinEnter/OptionSet
- languages.vim: drop colorcolumn from per-filetype autocmds (textwidth still set)
- ui.vim: VertSplit/CursorLine/CursorLineNr/SignColumn override via ColorScheme
autocmd; fillchars for vert and eob; timer-based warning if solarized8 missing
Scenes: open → fuzzy find → ripgrep → curl running API (JSON) → cheat sheet.
Server runs in background, curl shows formatted /users response.
Fixed: port conflict, buffer state reset before cheat sheet.
5-scene story: open → fuzzy find → ripgrep → run file → cheat sheet.
Demo project rewritten with functional dispatch (no class/stdlib method
name lint issues). All frames clean — no ALE warnings, no git markers.
:ChopsticksStatus shows system tools, LSP servers, linters, and
formatters with OK/missing status. Helps new users discover what
to install without leaving Vim.
Statusline: add buffer count, PASTE/SPELL/MAX flags, LSP server name,
encoding (shown only when non-utf-8/unix).
File tree sidebar: ,e toggles netrw sidebar (cwd), ,E toggles sidebar
(current file dir). Tracks t:netrw_sidebar_buf per-tab for reliable
toggle. browse_split=4 opens files in editor window.
vim . integration: opens tree sidebar (30 cols) + Startify dashboard.
Files opened from tree replace the dashboard.
Toggle feedback: F2/F3/F4/F6/,ss/,z now echo their new state.
Cut README from 330 to 124 lines. No fluff, no repeated tables.
QUICKSTART is now a compact cheat sheet, not a tutorial.
Both point to the wiki for deep dives.
Replace the monolithic 1268-line .vimrc with a thin loader that sources
12 modules under modules/ (env, plugins, core, ui, editing, navigation,
lsp, lint, git, writing, languages, tools). Each module is independently
readable and can be toggled by commenting one line.
Add interactive tutorial (tutor/chopsticks.tutor) with 10 lessons covering
all features. Users can run :ChopsticksLearn to start.
.vimrc:
- Remove path+=** (hangs on large repos with node_modules)
- Add plugin guards for FZF, Git, ALE, Markdown, EasyMotion, UndoTree
mappings (prevent E492 when plugins not loaded)
- Replace SmartFiles system() subprocess with isdirectory/finddir
(no more synchronous fork on every Ctrl+p)
- Remove duplicate SLDefineColors VimEnter call (ColorScheme alone suffices)
- Convert all remaining nmap/map to nnoremap/noremap (eliminate recursive
mapping risk and visual/operator-pending mode contamination)
- Expand cheat sheet with spell checking, utilities, window resize,
F-key toggles, EasyMotion line motions, buffer management
get.sh:
- Support NO_COLOR and non-TTY output
- Show version tag or commit hash after clone/pull
QUICKSTART.md:
- Warn about first-launch plugin install (30-60s wait)
- Note that some language servers need Node.js
.vimrc:
- Remove global eventignore+=FileType corruption in large file handler
- Add t_8f/t_8b for tmux true color support
- Fix vnoremap J/K shadowing built-in J (join); use Alt+j/k in visual mode
- Replace map with nnoremap for buffer/tab/spell/misc mappings (prevents
visual/operator-pending mode contamination)
- Change BufEnter to FileType for formatoptions (fires less frequently)
- Remove duplicate whitespace trim (ALE already handles it via fix_on_save)
- Guard <leader>so to only source vim files
- Guard <leader>cp/<leader>cf with has('clipboard')
- Add completeopt=popup for floating completion docs (Vim 8.1.1517+)
- Change Startify header from "MINGSAMA" to "chopsticks"
- Make Startify bookmarks conditional (only show shell rc files that exist)
- EasyMotion <Leader>j/k: map → nmap (prevent visual mode leak)
- Move-line: nnoremap instead of nmap for normal mode variant
install.sh:
- Add --help flag
- Support NO_COLOR and non-TTY output (no ANSI codes when redirected)
- Include $BASH_COMMAND in ERR trap for better debugging
- Use mktemp for secure temp files instead of predictable /tmp paths
- Warn user when pip falls back to --break-system-packages
README:
- Add missing mappings: jk, F2-F6, gV, //, ,ev, ,sv, ,cp, ,cf, ,*, ,F, ,W, ,ms, ,ss
- Note that some language servers require Node.js even though vim-lsp doesn't
- Clarify Alt+j/k works in both normal and visual mode
.vimrc:
- Fix syntax=OFF no-op in large file handler (syntax= is correct)
- Fix <leader>rG broken -F flag (new RgWord command with -F before --)
- Fix :Gdiff → :Gdiffsplit (fugitive v3+ compat)
- Fix go_def_mode/go_info_mode conflicting with go_gopls_enabled=0
- Fix <leader>m prefix collision with mt/mp (renamed to <leader>ms)
- Wrap PlugInstall autocmd in augroup (prevent doubling on re-source)
install.sh:
- Guard against empty version string in hadolint/marksman downloads
- Add HAS_SUDO check in _do_binary_apt before sudo mv
- Add PlugClean warning when existing plugins directory is non-empty
- Fix pkg_install brew-first priority (macOS-only now, Linux fallback)
- Fix menu double-draw flicker on first render
- Fix Fedora deselected tools not tracked in SKIPPED array
docs:
- Remove nonexistent nvm install step from README
- Fix TOC description (side window, not quickfix) in README/QUICKSTART
- Fix TTY detection description (add dumb, empty, builtin)
- Add missing ,cd and ,wa mappings to README
- Remove dead CoC formatOnSaveFiletypes from coc-settings.json
.vimrc:
- TTY detection: add empty($TERM) and dumb — fixes black screen when
TERM is unset (non-interactive SSH, minimal environments)
- Replace StartifyHeader() with a static ASCII list — removes the
synchronous system('git ...') call that caused the black screen while
vim waited for git before rendering, and removes Unicode block chars
(███╗) that rendered as garbage on terminals without full UTF-8
install.sh:
- _vim_run() helper: uses </dev/tty when accessible so vim properly
manages the alternate screen buffer and restores terminal state on
exit — this was the root cause of garbled output after PlugInstall
and CocInstall steps; falls back to --not-a-term for CI environments
- Remove 'screen may go dark' warning — no longer needed since terminal
state is properly managed via /dev/tty
Remove CHANGELOG.md — use git log
- README: one-liner curl install as primary method, updated Requirements
table to reflect auto-install capability, expanded Installation section
with 11-step installer description
- QUICKSTART: Step 1 now leads with curl one-liner, includes traditional
and --yes variants
- CHANGELOG: add v1.2.0 entry covering all robustness and get.sh changes
[[ -e /dev/tty ]] returns true even in non-interactive SSH sessions
where the device file exists but cannot actually be opened, causing
'No such device or address' errors. Replace with { true </dev/tty; }
which tests actual openability before redirecting.
install.sh:
- set -eo pipefail + trap ERR with line number and debug hint
- Network connectivity check before any downloads
- curl and git preflight: auto-install or die with clear instructions
- vim auto-install attempt before dying
- sudo availability check (one-time auth, graceful skip when unavailable)
- macOS: offer to install Homebrew if missing
- Node.js: offer nvm install if missing (with fallback to vim-lsp)
- Python3: offer install if missing
- ask() reads from /dev/tty — interactive prompts work under curl | bash
- safe_download(): verifies file non-empty and not an HTML error page
- pkg_install(): unified cross-platform helper (brew/apt/pacman/dnf)
- arch_github()/arch_linux_x64(): normalize uname -m (handles aarch64)
- Temp files cleaned up via EXIT trap
- Symlink creation verified after ln -sf
- vim-plug: fallback to git clone if curl fails; verify file non-empty
- vim +PlugInstall: warn on failure instead of silent continue
- Binary downloads (hadolint, marksman) use named temp files
get.sh (new):
- One-command bootstrap: curl | bash
- Installs git if missing
- Clones repo to ~/.vim (or git pull if already present)
- exec bash install.sh </dev/tty so interactive prompts work correctly
Documents the 15 best-practice settings absorbed from top global vim
configs (amix, tpope/vim-sensible, ThePrimeagen, YADR, spf13) that
were committed in the previous release but missing from the changelog.
