I’ve been using emacs with evil for a while and performance is fine when running it in client-server mode. Vim might be faster opening files on my computer, but if I had as many plugins for vim as I have for emacs, it would likely be as slow, and it’s client-server mode wasn’t as good when I switched.
Besides using !$, alt+. on bash copies the last argument into the line you are typing, which might be better if you want to edit it.
Wait, is this a clone of Messagease? I was hoping to find something like that because I love this type of keyboard but I was worried that it hasn’t received updates since 2020.
I was interested at first, but then I saw it was cloud-based with a required subscription :/
Have you tried compiling neovim for your own personal use? There are a bunch of possible issues that can arise, like lack of enough space or required dependencies, but if you miss neovim it might be worth trying
