As mentioned in the other thread, there is a `histdel` function. You wisely pointed out that interprets the entry as regex which can lead to unintended removals.
I wonder if you can specify [very nomagic](https://vimhelp.org/pattern.txt.html#%2Fmagic) by prepending `\V` to the string. This should ... (more) |

Interestingly, `Alt-_` will work in insert mode while the newly bound `Alt-.` requires you to escape to normal mode. That makes `Alt-_` slightly faster to type. (more) |

I realized I wasn't clear enough. I'm using Neovim. I just tested now in Vim 9.1 and it works. I'm looking for a solution for Neovim and, in particular, LunarVim. I will edit the original post. (more) |

A: Reset all buffer variables to default in Emacs `M-x kill-local-variable` `RET` `c-basic-offset` seems to work, but only temporarily. If I save, and close Emacs, and revisit the file, the changes do not persist. I that in an affected directory, each file must be visited and a permanent version of this must be performed. Not ideal.

How to view history of tabs sent to devices in Firefox I will often send tabs to other devices for later viewing and sometimes these tabs get lost between power-ons or swiped away if I don't open them immediately. Is there a place where I can view the history of sent tabs and the path they traveled? (more) |

`TAB` = `C-i` is okay with me. I think still some text is missing in the mode question. If I get your point, either mode works. It would be convenient to `TAB` while in insert mode to correct, but I won't let this restrict the solution. (more) |

Great point. Ideally yes I'd like it to be extensible.
> You mention but not the mode (normal or insert)? Note that = so if you map one you map the other.

> See also :h i_C-t.
I'm not understanding this part. I think some text got cut out. (more) |

This is outstanding, thank you! Plus, if I figure out the cause of the black bar, the command becomes very clean and simple.
I am withholding marking this as the solution in the case that a grafx2 one comes along. (more) |
