You can use #vim to edit files directly on a remote machine using

vim scp://server/path

… provided, you have ssh setup, of course. You can add on a username and a port as you'd expect. If you want to use absolute paths, you'll have to start the path with //, because that's how we roll. #VimTips

Ok, lets go for occasional #VimTips – caveats are that I'm using neovim, and that I'm in no way an advanced vim user. I'm happy to remember how macros work while I'm also happy to regularly forget how tags work. I'm sharing what works for me.

Usually I just mute annoying people in the fediverse, but in this case I'll block trolls/flamers/overly zealous (in)corrections to keep #VimTips a nice place to read.
