I’m a long time vim user and a recent student of the tailwind css system. I wanted a few things:

1. Never have to close a tag or type the word “class” or quotes.

2. See an instant preview of what the rendered HTML looks like on screen.

3. Use normal vim commands to make small edits.

4. Get a popup menu with common tailwind classes to add as you type.

5. Be able to “zoom in” to a child node and make it temporarily the root node. (Hit Enter for this feature, and up arrow to get back to normal parent node.)

I often write documents, such as exams and lecture notes, that contain both Latin and Arabic script, often on the same line of text. This can be challenging due to the complications of mixing of LTR (left-to-right) and RTL (right-to-left) scripts. This seems like an easy problem to solve for software developers, and it is, only not in software with graphical WYSIWYG interfaces, such as Word or OpenOffice. (I’m sure everyone who has tried writing mixed direction text in such software share my frustration with them, and I will therefore refrain from rants.) Since my shift to exclusively producing and editing text in plain text formats (.txt, .mkd, .tex, etc.) with the editor Vim, writing texts with mixed directionality has become a lot easier. This post is an attempt to explain how.
