I really wish I could switch to #Zed and start recommending it to my students…but whenever I try it after a new version is released, I am disappointed. 😕

It’s come a really long way, but there just are way too many paper cuts for it to be used productively… Things like indentation settings being unintuitive or just ignored, tags not auto closing, Emmet sometimes just not working…

What are the editors available these days that *do not* use Chromium/Electron/Atom/etc?

On my system, in vscodium (and I tried zed too) there's a maddening bug where scroll-wheel events are accrued and when you switch-back to the editor, ZIP! you end-up at the bottom (mostly) of your code. 😡 💢

It makes it totally impossible to use, hence looking for other editors.

I even tried gvim again, but it's just so painful to use!

Save me!

rk: could be an enum

So I’ve been using vi for over three decades now, and vim was often the flavor of vi being used.

I just noticed that when editing a compressed file in vim (e.g. vim foo.gz), the implicit decompression step is entered into the undo log. You can hit u right after file load and get the compressed binary data.

Huh.

So we've widdled down this #app #showdown between #Markdown #editors for #Android.

In the end I'm prioritizing ease of use, design and aesthetics. But you can't ignore what's pragmatic. Between #QuillPad and #OpenNote, I'd want QuillPad - but I need Open Note.

QuillPad has tags, which is a nice to have - but not really all that important to me.

In the end Open Note wins out, because of its info screen that counts words used - but also, the document outline.

For now, I think this is it.

"Roles, Challenges, and Sustainability of Australian Journals: A Survey of Editors" doi.org/10.1515/opis-2025-0013 #journals #publishing #openaccess #editors #rankings #internationalization

De Gruyter · Roles, Challenges, and Sustainability of Australian Journals: A Survey of EditorsThis article reports the findings of a survey of 139 editors of Australian journals. The survey investigated the editors’ views on distinct roles of Australian journals, the potential conflicts between national roles and internationalization, and the factors affecting long-term viability of journals. Findings show that editors highly value the role of Australian journals in linking research and practice in the Australian context and sustaining local disciplinary communities. While the majority of editors (76%) see little to no conflict between internationalization and maintaining local roles, some see challenges in balancing local relevance with international appeal. The survey highlights a link between journal rankings, author incentives, and the ability to attract quality submissions, particularly for journals focusing on local issues. Attracting quality submissions and qualified reviewers emerged as the most important factors for long-term viability, with the latter also being the most significant challenge. The study highlights a strong reliance on voluntary work as 45% of editors receive no compensation for their roles, a concern for the sustainability of journals. Open access strategies vary, but 88% of journals were satisfied with their current publishing model. There was low satisfaction with support from parent organizations in areas such as training and professional development.
