Some tools might exist simplifying all this. Furthermore, I'm no expert so if anyone ever reads this and knows any improvement, please let me know.

Case 1: Direct access to Pairing Station

Given that the Guest User can access the Pairing Station directly, either because the station is publicly available or because NAT port forwarding can be used, there's only one thing we need to do, give ssh access to the Guest User by adding his ssh public key to our Local User (pair) .ssh/authorized_keys file.

The local user would open up a tmux session with

tmux new-session -s pairing

2014-07-14 Reverse SSHFS mounts (fs push) https://blog.dhampir.no/content/reverse-sshfs-mounts-fs-push

sshfs is a neat way of mounting a file system from one machine to another over an encrypted ssh channel. However, for machine CLIENT to access a file system that resides on machine HOST, CLIENT must generally be able to log in to HOST. In addition, CLIENT must be able to connect to HOST in the first place, though a tunnel from HOST to CLIENT can easily mediate this if a connection can only be initiated in that direction.

However, the login itself may still be an issue. You might not want to type your password for HOST on CLIENT, or set up a keyless login using public/private keys. You might not entirely trust CLIENT, from which you want to access the file system. dpipe to the rescue.

Using dpipe, available in the “vde2” package on Debian (and, likely, derivatives), you can initiate the connection the other way and use sshfs in “slave mode”, in which it communicates over standard input and output instead o

🔰 A beginners guide to create custom cmdline

Ever wanted to know how noice creates the cmdline or wanted your own one?

No one? Guess it's just me 🥲.

Anyway, this post is a simple tutorial for creating a basic cmdline in neovim.

Vim 'Indentation Hell': A Best Effort Guide

I love Vim. But it isn't perfect, unfortunately.
And one part that is particularly confusing when setting up for the first time is indentation.
This guide strives to cover what options are relevant, what they do, how they interact, and how to set them up for most popular indentation styles.

Meet The Cast

Vim has 5 options relating to (manual) indentation:

Seamlessly editing remote files in (Neo)Vim with Netrw and scp

Neovim and Vim both come bundled with a standard plugin called Netrw. Netrw acts a file explorer (similar to NERDTree), but more importantly has the ability to work with scp (as well as sftp, rcp, ftp, and lots of others :h netrw-nread) to let you edit files and browse directories that are hosted on a remote machine, inside of your local Vim instance.

This is useful since you are able to use your Vim setup and plugins without copying over your dotfiles to the remote machine. As well, since the file is copied to your local machine, there will be no delay when typing.

Setup

This is optional for Vim, but required for Neovim (check this Neovim issue explaining why).

Adding dot-repeat to your Neovim plugin

In Neovim, the . character repeats "the most recent action"; however, this is not always respected by plugin actions. Here we will explore how to build dot-repeat support directly into your plugin, bypassing the requirement of dependencies like repeat.vim.

The Basics

When some buffer-modifying action is performed, Neovim implicitly remembers the operator (e.g. d), motion (e.g. iw), and some other miscellaneous information. When the dot-repeat command is called, Neovim repeats that operator-motion combination. For example, if we type ci"text<Esc>, then we replace the inner contents of some double quotes with text, i.e. "hello world" → "text". Dot-repeating from here will do the same, i.e. "more samples" → "text".

Using operatorfunc

I recently switched over to neovim (see my screenshots at the bottom). Below is my updated config file.

It's currently synchronized with my .vimrc config except for a block of neovim-specific terminal key mappings.

This is still a work in progress (everyone's own config is always a labor of love), but I'm already extremely pleased with how well this is working for me with neovim. While terminal mode isn't enough to make me stop using tmux, it is quite good and I like having it since it simplifies my documentation workflow for yanking terminal output to paste in a markdown buffer.

These days I primarily develop in Go. I'm super thrilled and grateful for fatih/vim-go,
