شرح

VIMKiller is a humorous yet functional project created as a playful response to the classic challenge of exiting the Vim editor. Designed as a physical button housed in a 3D-printed case, it connects to an Arduino that sends a serial message when pressed. This message is captured by a Julia script running in the background, which promptly terminates all Vim processes on a Linux machine. The project includes CAD files for the enclosure, Arduino code, and setup instructions, making it possible to build your own version. While conceived as a joke originating from a Julia Slack discussion, the device does actually work, blending satire with practical execution. Though sunset in favor of VIMKiller RECHARGED, the original project remains a lighthearted reminder of how software frustrations can inspire inventive, if unconventional, solutions.
