Is it possible to have vim key bindings in terminal?
I’m getting used to vim bindings (like pressing w to go to word, dw to delete a word, and such) and it’s modes (insert, normal, visual), and, out of curiosity would like to know: is there some kind of implementation of this behaviour of modes and bindings from vim to my terminal?

Unexpected indentation behaviour when I set the terminal to raw mode – why is this happening?

Pipe all input and output of terminal to file
I do not know if this is even possible or not, but in an attempt to keep track of many changes I am about to make to my system I want to track all input I type and all output from a terminal I’m working with to a file. I’ve been messing around trying to … Read more
