Awesome! I'll give those a try. Speaking of neovim/vim/vi - do you have an 
issue with Konsole where typing commands in command mode puts a "q" at the 
beginning of the command line? I can show a screenshot if that helps.

This is a great tip! I like tmux but I could see it being more intuitive and 
quicker using Konsole.

Sounds good, I already have a couple of ideas in mind. I still want to learn 
more about C++ so I likely won't be submitting any PRs for a while. :-)

Thanks so much for the tips and advice! I truly appreciate your time. By the 
way, until I get more familiar with developer stuff, let me know if there are 
other ways I can assist in the project. Happy to do more "chore" type of work 
if there is any. Stuff like bug triaging, wiki cleanup, site design 
(HTML/CSS) refinement, anything database (SQL) related, etc.

Thanks,
Mike
