Vim³ – Vim rendered on a cube for no reason
- Thaxll 6y agoI got some vibes from Ubuntu Compiz.
- colmvp 6y ago> How do i stop the cube from spinning > no
- dylan604 6y agoThe best part of the entire pointless effort.
- riversflow 6y agoDisagree. The bulleted “I use arch btw” at the bottom of the frequently asked questions is even more hilarious if you ask me.
- Buttons840 6y agoIt's not surprising that vim would have a simple two letter keystroke to stop the cube spinning.
- corytheboyd 6y agobut how do I close it
- dopylitty 6y agoYour Vim has been crushed into a cube. You have 30 minutes to :q! your cube.
- AdmiralAsshat 6y ago3000 AD: Earl: Bob, why are you running that ancient software on your holocube? Bob: I finally got my vim config file exactly the way I want it!

- bigbubba 6y agoHas anybody used this a lot? I'm curious if it's something you can grow accustomed to, and if so, whether switching back to a normal editor will induce a strange sensation of the normal editor spinning in some way (similar to the Tetris effect.) (I tried using it myself the last time it was posted, but it made me nauseous.)
- r-arvind 6y agoCouldn't handle it for more than 10 minutes
- walleeee 6y agoSomebody fork it and make the cube rotate only when flipping between buffers
- amself 6y agothat would actually be cool. I could see it boosting productivity.
- walleeee 6y agoIf this existed I would drive it daily
- mediumdeviation 6y agoCompiz cube can already do this with your entire desktop circa 2006. I remember being quite delighted with it when I first installed Ubuntu but it was never very practical. I still miss wobbly windows though
- HeWhoLurksLate 6y agoI miss the old Aero Windows-Tab thing, that was neat
- city41 6y agoKinda like the GameCube, I like it https://youtu.be/Tve6ZBZaDsI https://youtu.be/Tve6ZBZaDsI
- crsr 6y ago> Most people use vim in two stupid dimensions. But not me. I use it in three Brilliant.
- snjnlsn 6y agohell yeah
- brian_herman 6y agoWow great Christmas present keep developing silly cubes.
- georgewsinger 6y agoWe need to get Vim³ running in SimulaVR: https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula
- Garlef 6y agotake this, bret victor!
- TeMPOraL 6y agoMedia for Doing the Unthinkable.
- aj7 6y agoHeh heh. That’s why they call this “Hacker News.”

- amelius 6y agoHi, I have a question about Vim and Bash. If I type ":w[Enter]" and then quickly thereafter CTRL-Z, will my file be completely saved before Vim is suspended? Or can the suspend operation happen in the middle of the saving operation?
- floatingatoll 6y agoThe latter, if you're unlucky. You may be interested to know that :suspend is a command.
- amelius 6y agoThanks. I guess it would be nice if CTRL+Z mapped to :suspend under the hood.
- floatingatoll 6y ago:map W :w!<Return>:suspend<Return> This has no error handling and I don’t know how to make a new :command but it might hint you along to an answer.
- kc0bfv 6y agoTake your ctrl sequences and go back to Emacs ;-)
