Will this tell me why changing the version number of my terminal stops the mouse from working correctly in Vim? Oh "If you can still reproduce it now, it's most likeley a bug in Vim itself! Report it to the vim_dev mailing list." That didn't work out very well when I did it.

You could try Neovim (https://neovim.io/), the tracker and development is super-active and it's been decently usable for a while now.

Ideally, cleaner versions of plugins will be written over time without vimscript

great documentation proposal. Is there any objective to keep it simple?

"simple" as in?

My intention is not only to show how to use Vim, but also list other programs often used in combination with Vim, explaining typical issues people encounter, historical facts, internal details, easter eggs, and so on.

So, yes, "all things Vim". :-)

It will keep growing, but I'll split it up so each section gets its own file.

Ugh. No package and it requires Cmake to build.
