My paper (along with a multitude of others) has been published in SIGBOVIK 2022! Check out “Edward, edMUnD & Edwin: Line-Based Text
Editing for the 21st Century” at page 46 of http://www.sigbovik.org/2022/proceedings.pdf

technically s with no match is an error, but no ed implementation does it like that within g. you could probably hack together a "fail line" at the end of your file that is guaranteed to have all of the substitutions you want to make on it and then discarded after.

Q

if your favorite part of vim is spending months trying to become efficient at using its many operations instead of just rewriting the text, BOY do i have a text editor for you

are there scripts that can't reasonably be written in a monospace terminal? like just wide characters aren't enough, since double-wide characters can align that way, and text with complex shaping or hinting is still possible if it's rendered all at once i think.

i suppose any vertical script, for one..

i need to find more people on here that are interested in the same things so i can ask my weird eternal questions and get actual answers

"Non Goals"

"right-to-left text"

...

stop.... assuming... the arguments of your weird format string will be in the same order in your target language...

stop generating strings via concatenating two other localized strings in order!! please!!
