Hmm, in terms of VimScript, ONI has a pretty low surface area right now. Most of the ONI-facing functionality is in: oni/vim/core/oni-core-interop/plugin/init.vim
And there are three major responsibilities there:
- Send buffer updates
- Send vim-facing events that aren't captured via the
msgpack-rpcAPI - Send information about the window size / lines rendered
Also there's the set of defaults we have in oni/vim/default/bundle/oni-vim-defaults that could be curated. There's also some other plugin defaults we could add - I like vim-surround a lot, and I know @keforbes recommend vim-airline as well - so we could look at adding some of those into our default set.
In terms of other contribution ideas, documentation could use some help! The README currently is kind of chaotic :)
And in terms of TypeScript & JavaScript, it's really never been a better time to get into front-end development! Would be great to have your help there too.
People are doing some amazing things with JavaScript - like 3d graphics, time travel debugging with hot-reload, games. There's tons of momentum and it's a great skill to learn - you can take this and even build apps with Cordova and React-Native, and this project is a great way to start playing around with some of that technology.
On the side of vim script, what would you say needs done that would either mesh with or enable your future work on the JS/TS side of things.
