characterize.vim - Unicode character metadata

Just came across and installed the characterize.vim plugin that in Vim modernizes the ga command to reveal character representation. Displayed are now

  • Unicode character names: U+00A9 COPYRIGHT SYMBOL
  • Vim digraphs (type after <C-K> to insert the character): Co, cO
  • Emoji codes: :copyright:
  • HTML entities: &copy;

So for example with the cursor on a letter ö hitting ga in command mode displays in the status line

<ö> 246, \366, U+00F6 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS, ^Ko:, &ouml;

Neat.

RED! RED! It's all RED! And RED is POSITIVE!

It has been done.

There isn't much more to say about the long outstanding dmake removal from the LibreOffice build system than what Björn Michaelsen described in detail except one thing that sprang to my mind when seeing the final commit that removed 93554 lines: it's all red and it's so good.
