Among many of the text-based UIs advantages, I found that the ability to copy-paste almost anything using Vim shortcuts via tmux or the shift+ctrl combo of my terminal emulator is one of my preferred. Here is an excerpt from my long-running (server side) Irssi session, as a tribute to Vim’s creator:
23:57 -A_Dragon(A_D@libera/staff/dragon)- [Global Notice] The Matrix bridge is experiencing continued stability and privacy issues; we have requested it be shut down until they are resolved. Matrix have agreed
to shut down the bridge no later than 1400UTC on Saturday. Feel free to ask further questions in #libera-matrix
