Bindings

Usually the Windows key bindings are available in every installation of GVim I’ve played with. Not so on my Mint-ified MacBook.

Canucks fans

We may occasionally burn down the city when things go awry in Game 7. We may be current owners of the longest running NHL losing streak. Half our team may be suffering from upper and lower body injuries. Our coach may be an angry freak of nature. We may have been gooning our way across…

Drone
