I’ll look into these. We do some special handling of cmd+q so resources are released gracefully. I’m guessing you didn’t select a preset yet. Is that accurate?

I selected vim. No quit available in application menu, I tried `!forcequit` from the command menu and nothing happened either.

are you on apple silicon or intel?

edit: nvm I found the issue. cmd+q or forcequit! doesn't work while the onboarding tutorial is running.

Quite impressed with a sales page basically telling me to stick with Emacs for now: https://rune.build/coming-from/emacs

Lots of IDEs claim to offer Vim/Emacs emulation. Vim users seem often quite happy with the vim emulation they get (I'm only an occasional Vim user so don't have an opinion). The issue with emulating Emacs is that the editor key bindings are not the feature. The feature of Emacs is basically an IDE totally tuned to how you want it, plus the fact that then you apply the same ecosystem to a great number of text-adjacent…

Not at all. Never seen any vi-emulation, which wasn't totally broken.

I may check this out as I'm between editors currently. Liked zed for a bit, until a blog post showed me how they were installing npm and who knows what else on my PC without me knowing. Used Code for a bit after until suddenly they started requiring AI dependencies just to run the IDE. So hey, why not try something new.

There's a zed minus the iffy bits fork called gram. Haven't used it though, I'm still stuck in Emacs trying to figure out how to get out.

I've looked at gram, but unfortunately it, being a fork of zed, still has some dependencies I'd rather not deal with. Given the recent hacks (especially those a few weeks ago with lots of compromised AUR packages in Arch) I'd rather not have npm or nodejs installed. I don't develop in it, I don't need it, and having it installed is just an huge unnecessary attack vector for me.

I do love what the gram developer is doing though.

IntelliJ actually does (did) have quite solid vim emulation, at least from my experience of using it before going full into neovim (now on Emacs, btw)

Might want to think about installation. Suspicious of black box shell installations like that, and I'm on a laptop with restrictions. Looks like installation failed trying to write to places it shouldn't, but it's just pulling a dmg to copy on MacOS? EDIT: also not helping trust that it's not letting me quit?

also curious as to why libresolv.so.2 is packaged in the Linux tarball

Except when you go to any pane/window without code it stops using vim bindings

Sorry, I just don't understand the premise behind Rune. The whole neovim / emacs / blah blah cult is based around configuring the infinitely configurable ecosystem. It's not better, or more productive, it's a hobby. So if you try to package that you've missed the point.

Page crashes with “a problem repeatedly occurred on $page” on iOS Safari, just fyi

Thanks, looking into it. edit: I think it's from all the videos playing at once, even when not visible. It should be fixed now.

Hey, I don't see anywhere in the docs how one can remap the `meta` key to something else? Project looks cool as hell tho
