Terminal Question

I think the answers are in here! http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO.html

I'm seeing how far I can get through Advent of Code using only Vim's editing commands. No Vimscript, variables, or function calls allowed! (Use of the expression register is also STRICTLY limited. I employed it to do adding in some early solutions, but anything more complex is a no-no.)

Solutions are notated using the standard notation used in Vim mappings and documentation. Ctrl-A is notated as <C-A>, Escape as <Esc>, Return as <CR>, etc.

But if a line starts with a colon, then it's an entire ex command: press Enter at the end of the line.

Otherwise, linebreaks aren't meaningful: they're just inserted at places that felt "natural" to me.

Note that I'm well aware the same techniques could be streamlined considerably: my intention with these is — hard as this may be to believe — to aim for clarity over efficiency. I'm not golfing here!

Vim Auto List Completion

This snippet makes Vim automatically continue/end lists in insert mode, similar to the way word processors do:

It automatically adds the bullet/number for the next list item when you press Return at the end of an existing item,
When you press Return on an empty list item, it removes the bullet/number, ending the list.

It supports ordered lists with markers like 1. and unordered lists with - markers (because those are the markers I use.)

(It's particularly useful when using an iOS keyboard where punctuation and numerals are slow to access.)
