One area that will definitely help in the evolution of Vim is adding more tests. I know it is not as fancy as adding more features to Vim. But tests play a significant role in improving Vim. You can refer to the current code coverage (https://codecov.io/gh/vim/vim) to get a list of features that are currently not tested and develop more tests. You can refer to the src/testdir/README.txt file for information about developing new tests. Regards, Yegappan > > Regards, > Jón Arnar > -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
