Javascript request yak shave

I wanted to easily make HTTP requests (both GET & POST) with a simple interface that returns promises.

The popular request & request-promises package are good, but I wanted to figure out how to do it w/out using external dependencies.

The key features are:

the ability to set a timeout
non-200 responses are considered errors that reject the promise.
any errors at the TCP socker/DNS level reject the promise.

Navigating the modes of Vim

This diagram illustrates navigating through Vim’s modes. It was built factoring Vim 9 (i.e., all its modes, including up to two new modes, cr and cvr, in November 2023). Information about the state() and 'showmode' is provided too.

SVG version

Some features are only available in the SVG version. It is not provided directly from within this gist’s files because SVGs do not always play nicely in GitHub (particularly, refusing to display embedded fonts).

The SVG version includes hover text help, which shows pertinent information about the underlying key, command, mode, etc.

This procedure was tested on FreeBSD-CURRENT build from d8819d88af52.
