Hi Marc,
I like vis very much. It's blazing fast and comes with good defaults.
The following things I noticed:
- Setting defaults requires patching some c file instead of config.def.h
- Background/Foreground colors are only applied when syntax highlighting
is possible for the currently loaded file
- I miss that I can't align multiple cursors in insert mode, i.e. to
align all "=" over multiple lines. The editor kakoune supports this
nicely
- I also miss C-a and C-x for dealing with numbers .. but that's just a
minor inconvenience right now
- It took me ages to start vis with the proper VIS_PATH and VIS_THEME
settings. My installation directory for vis is ~/.local which is not
part of the default locations. Furthermore, the manpage still refers
to ~/.vis as the location where to put my personal configuration but
it is actually ~/.config/vis. I had to create a little shell script
that sets VIS_PATH and VIS_THEME before starting vis. In my opinion
these obstacles make it very hard to start playing around with it.
Since I'm using a light terminal background, I recreated the papercolor
theme. Please feel free to integrate it:

Keep up the good work!

I didn’t want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes
from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes
from trusting Christ - God’s righteousness. Phil 3:9
