I'm going to recreate something I did a while back, which was to create a vim command/script which would: copy the current selection or line to a specified term window, and hit enter. And then version two, do that, but then copy the contents of the line/selection into a new line.
Basically using vim as an input buffer. With the option to copy the current line- when working systems there was often incremental improvement that I was trying to do, so running then creating a new line was valuable. I probably should just learn how to insert a line offset into the current line though.
What's still missing in both my vim-driven world and in shells is any ability to make references & changes. Ideally I'd like to be able to have lines that interpolate vim registers & more complex expressions. Ideally I want a shell that lets me see my previous raw uninterpolated expressions, that hps me distil out pieces for reuse. The way that history just shows the interpolated version destroys the ability to see what & where I'm borrowing bits of the past that I could be using as hints to re-compose new futures.
