Aren't these two benefits mutually exclusive? If you're got a very personalised vim setup, then vim on your workstation is going to be potentially dramatically different to vim when sshed into a remote machine
- willjp 5y agoThat's a good point! If you have your own user account you could dump your .vimrc on there.. but maybe you don't want a lot of vim plugins on a server. Now that vscode has a plugin that uses your local setup to edit files over SSH, my argument is a lot less compelling. Even at home, I have a lesser vimrc I provision to servers - I found it hard to justify installing treesitter, linters, etc. on a server where I'm mostly dealing with json/yaml/shellscript.
