I’m considering putting the whole catalogue of @vimcasts on YouTube. Are there any reasons why I should hesitate?

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

@raindev_ thanks for reporting that. The site should be back online now.

[Drew Neil @nelstrom]

It lives!

@alecthegeek I don’t understand your question. Can you elaborate?

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

@alecthegeek I’ve been using Neovim for two years now, with no regrets.

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

@JoseALobato oh great, thanks for purchasing! When you said “the book” I assumed you were referring to Practical Vim.

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

@JoseALobato glad to hear it.

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

@JoseALobato can you try again now and let me know if it works for you?

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

The vimcasts media server is currently offline, so you can’t watch the videos (although the website is still online).

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

@JoseALobato thanks for reporting this. I’ll look in to it.

Episode #76: Pasting into a terminal buffer: https://t.co/IBl0olRCjp
In this video, we’ll look at how the Normal mode paste command works in a terminal buffer, and we’ll create a mapping to help with pasting text directly from Terminal mode.

Vim patch 8.0.1394 adds the TextYankPost. https://t.co/W1nDFjU0KM

I’ve updated the shownotes for episode 73 to reflect this: https://t.co/XwwMovUYWM

Episode #75: Creating mappings for :terminal https://t.co/h2MfEEAdZO
Just like :nnoremap and :inoremap create mappings for Normal and Insert mode, you can use :tnoremap in Neovim to create mappings for Terminal mode. #neovim

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

@johnhawksley @brianarn yeah, that’s a nice feature. And of course you can also use `p` to paste text from a register into a terminal buffer.

[Vimcasts @vimcasts]

@ionrock @brianarn that is interesting. See also: https://t.co/UwojcKxF8Y

IMHO, Vim and tmux go together well because tmux makes up for Vim's shortcomings. With Neovim's :terminal feature (and job control), some of those shortcomings no longer exist.

[Brian Sinclair @brianarn]

I have to say, I didn't think I'd care about having a terminal in Neovim, but after seeing @vimcasts talk about it, I tried it, and I'm totally sold.

It's a little weird to run a terminal, in Neovim, in tmux, in iTerm, but also super neat for some things.

Episode #74: Neovim’s Terminal Emulator: https://t.co/xCsWPVJ5yY
This lets you run programs in a terminal buffer inside of Neovim.
