You can checkout my vim configuration here: https://github.com/ryanss/vim

It's just a single, well-commented .vimrc file a little over 100 lines long. The main plugins that add to the visual appearance are the jellybean colorscheme and the fancy status line comes from vim-airline.

Hi, plugin author here.

It's not currently possible to post comments using the official API (or any of the unofficial APIs), but this probably wouldn't be difficult to implement using a standard POST request to the actual Hacker News web server. The harder part would be getting the interface for posting comments inside of Vim user friendly; it would probably be similar to how fugitive.vim lets you enter git commit messages.

I will definitely look into adding this to the plugin if enough interest is shown.

I implemented ajax comment posting for the HNES Chrome Extension, which is open source. It's a dirty hack but it works. Check out the source:

That'd be awesome. Opening up a scratch buffer and then using that for the contents of the comment in the POST would work pretty well. I dig it.
