Cool. I didn't know about "Ctrl+T, Ctrl+Z"; I've always used "Alt+D, Alt+Enter" to duplicate tabs. This other shortcut might come in handy if I want to immediately edit the URL.

Not as quick as you're asking for, but what I do, after running "git log" to jog my memory of what the commit message was, is this: git commit --fixup=':/message regexp' This will find the youngest commi

It's called the Imperative Mood[0]. I like to think of it as though I'm completing this statement: "If you apply this patch, this commit will [Do The Thing™]". Here's a few examples: If I were to apply this patch, t

Another alternative is OpenWeatherMap: https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-3 It's not quite a drop-in replacement, but it's pretty close. They have a free plan for 1,000 calls/day.

Neat. I'll add this to my toolbox. Somewhat unrelated: I discovered some time ago that the column command (from util-linux) can print trees of hierarchical data (up to 2 levels deep). From the man page: $ echo -e '1 0 A\n2 1 A

The docs for this is in `:help v_CTRL-A`. It should actually say VISUAL BLOCK mode. This is where you use `CTRL-v` to select a block of text. You can read more in `:help blockwise-visual`. Also see the 'nrformats' option: `:help &

git diff --color-moved This makes git diff highlight reindented or moved lines differently. I use it to get diffs similar to when you pass -w, but with a bit more context. It takes a bit of experimenting to keep it from looking like a fruit

I tend to go to https://www.regular-expressions.info when I need to find out which features are supported between dialects. Not always up-to-date, but has some good info.

The syntax feels a bit Ruby-ish, doesn't it? Here's an example from the article of how they could expand the syntax in the future: foo.bar(..).baz(..).match { Variant1 => { ... } Variant2(quux) => { ... } }
