I'm a big fan of your other app Leader Key: it's the closest equivalent to the Windows+number keyboard shortcuts that I use all the time on my other computer (but better since you're not limited to 10 apps and you can use mnemonic shortcuts). Does the release of Tuna mean that Leader Key is now deprecated/unmaintained?

It's syntactically more straightforward to resolve the issue of clashing definitions through namespacing with functions compared to operators.

The following is pretty standard:

    foo::plus(a, b) // or foo.plus(a, b)
    bar::plus(a, b) // or bar.plus(a, b)
Whereas this is more awkward:

    a foo::+ b // or a foo.+ b
    a bar::+ b // or a bar.+ b

Since Neovim 0.10, `:tab term` now opens the terminal window in a new tab. And you could use the exact same command in Vim since they introduced their own terminal emulation feature in Vim 8.0.0693.

Quite an odd comment to make in the midst of the Ukraine war, another war between Israel and Palestine, and the ongoing civil wars in Sudan and Burma.

> From a European perspective, I was shocked it had to be written.

Not really related to your point, but where in Europe do you come from? In France it is common to have job listings read that they hire handicapped people or women, so I don't see why that would be shocking.

Translations for the few quotes that are in French:

> Je mange donc je chie. — Don Ho

"I eat therefore I shit." It's a pun on René Descartes' "Je pense donc je suis" (I think, therefore I am).

> Mathématiquement, un cocu est un entier qui partage sa moitié avec un tiers.

"Mathematically, a cuckold is a whole who shares his half with a third [party]."

> Si un jour une chaise te dit que t'as un joli cul, tu xtrouveras ça bizarre mais c'est juste un compliment d'objet direct.

"If some day a chair tells you you have a pretty ass, you'll find that weird but it's just a direct object compliment." It's a pun on "complément d'objet direct" (the object that is put directly after a transitive verb), intentionally being misspelled as "compliment d'objet direct" to mean that it's a direct compliment from an object.

> Mon pied droit est jaloux de mon pied gauche. Quand l'un avance, l'autre veut le dépasser. Et moi, comme un imbécile, je marche ! — Raymond Devos

"My right foot is jealous of my left foot. When one goes forward, the other wants to overtake it. And I, like an imbecile, I'm walking!

> C-style also has a problem in that there is no way to define arbitrary blocks

I might have misunderstood what you mean by "arbitrary blocks", but you can definitely do this in C:

  int main()
  {
    {
      /* arbitrary block */
      return 0;
    }
  }
