This is the only vi-able action IMO.

The email address I've used in the past has been responded to promptly, that's probably more effective than an @ mention:

This feels monumental… can we get the black bar for the entire weekend.

This is the passing of someone that has fundamentally touched the lives of so many programmers… his work is now part of our very folklore, we make vim jokes, we emulate it in other tools, even the “enemy” (eMacs) eventually added evil mode (mind my humour it has sharp edges)… vim is mentioned in science fiction and has survived the journey from Unix to a plethora of other operating systems…

He will be missed.

Same. Variations of Vim have been my go to editor for many decades now. Stellar achievement.

I support this request. :x

It seems unthinkable that Dang will not bestow this honor upon him. Given that it's currently early Saturday morning, we just have to wait.

Another black bar +1. If anyone deserves it, it’s got to be the author of a critical part of my daily workflow for over 10 years.

Definitely deserves a black bar.

VIM is definitely is one of those thin tiles that keep Open Source together

:wq and RIP

^A

:! !!

A vote.

This absolutely deserves a black bar.<ESC>:wq

Black bar please! :wq

Not to sound bitter, but should we assume that dang does not consider the creator of vim to be worthy of a black banner? I keep forgetting that this site, despite having hacker in its name, is not really about hacking. Anyways, I hope Bram Moolenaar finds peace.
