I’ve written about 2,000 words on the Vim article so far. It’s ending up much longer than I anticipated. I think I’ll break it up into four or five separate parts — that way I can upload them as I finish them, rather than waiting for the whole thing to be completed.

I wrote my first real Vim key mappings today. In my journals (not this one), I start each day off with the date and day of the week in a certain format, and with one of them I use timestamps, so I decided to automate both of those. One map inserts the current date and the other inserts the current time. The latter was working fine until I started tinkering around with the status line, and now half of it doesn’t work for some bizarre reason.
