I was using dein package manager for some time happily. Till yesterday it started acting up during update and even messed up already installed plugins. After some messing around I admitted I will not be able to solve it easily so I tried to give the new builtin package manager a try. I followed this post. And it seems to work like a charm, also within nvim. I added all my packages using git submodule add in directories like pack/git/start and pack/helper/opt.

In many terminal programs readline is doing the editing of input. It is possible with M-v to quickly switch to vi mode and with M-e to the default emacs mode. In emacs mode one has a few commands like ^A to jump to the begin of line. Usually I prefer vi - but in command line it’s not that useful to switch modes. R in tmux got stuck in vi mode and was pasting ^A^K... all over the place.
