• If deleting active, set active to main
• If you try to delete an alias that does not exist, throw error

• install coloring
• show active on swim ls with green
• show red when error happens

Takes in a vimrc file and and alias name

change alias names from input 1 to input 2. In case I wanted to rename an alias

Get the file that the inode points to and move that into oldvimrc.vim instead of the current method. The current method creates an infinite cycle of pointing to itself if the oldvimrc was already a symlink to oldvimrc.

The current method throws error if:

swim with oldvimrc
swim add <anyfile> <any alias besides oldvimrc>
swim with oldvimrc #Throws error

Use bats

• Check for npm upon install before calling npm install
• Don't download chalk if it already exists
• Print version on install

Investigate if an npm install method for swim is feasable (in addition to to the curl download option already supported).

This would be especially nice because npm supports versioning and updating far better than swim's current swim update command does.

• gif
• Remove triple tics from code usage comment
• Place line breaks every five usages (hard to read)
• Explain swim file location
• Explain swim file editing
• update usage
• swim update
• changelog
• license

If you try to delete an alias that does not exist, a bash error is thrown.

When there are no aliases, it should print out an error and exit

Currently swim is only executable from the command line. It would be nice to have a :swim with <alias> command from within vim which triggers a live reload.

move an alias from one name to another

May break backwards compatability with swim for vim

Currently, swim update blindly fetches an upstream version of the script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dawsonbotsford/swim/master/swim. This is very bad as a compromise of the repository would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on swim users' computers. Cryptographic signature-checking of downloaded updates should be implemented to mitigate this risk

Make it something far less annoying than colorscheme blue.

• Something noticeable (line numbers?)
• Something that attibutes swim in a vim echo statement and comment in the vimrc

Set a hook which opens the github swim repo in browser. Using:

python -mwebbrowser https://github.com/dawsonbotsford/swim

do a curl in the backend on behalf of the user into an alias if the path to add is not local.

[I'm the same person, who opened an issue about neovim support. That was my official id, I accidentally opened a github issue from it.]

What doesn't work ?

• keyboard shortcuts, for example, Ctrl-P is not working in spf13. May be, if I installed this as a second distribution.
• I need more testing... to confirm other cases.

Vim distribution means a with a set of pluggins and a .vimrc file. The package manager and some plugins are already configured.

This will be helpful to people who is seriously lacking in time to configure all plugins and other settings.

Or, in other words, vim pre-configured vim, just install and use.

I will list few of popular vim-distributions

I don't say, we should support all these list. But, It would be much better, if we can make swim work in good condition for at least top 2 in this list.

Open up the alias that the user wants to edit in the default editor

Add a naked/minimal vimrc file if none exists

Are you interested in updating the location configuration is stored, such that it would adhere to the XDG Base Directory Specification? Specifically the configuration one as I believe that's all that would be relevant for swim.
