> I think I might steal these, or make something based on your idea. Sure thing, if you can improve it let me know. Here's an even wilder thing. I set those s* mappings up about 2 weeks after using Vim and I still don't know how they work in perfect detail but I was able to find them by Googling. There's definitely a stigma that you need to be some crazy wizard to use Vim but with a bit of repetitive learning and Google you can get pretty far. Here's a link to my vimrc around a few mappings associated to finding / replacing and multi-cursor-like things: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/085c4ac827290bc7aeea...

I accidentally half way started this type of project the other month when I wanted to quickly change themes along with toggling dark / light mode in a bunch of different terminal apps. I got things set up to where I can run: set-theme gruvbox or set-theme one and it'll switch color themes in half a dozen apps. It also supports an optional --toggle-bg flag to flip between dark and light mode if the theme supports it. Ended up being a fairly small zero dependency Python script that I put together in a few hours. I made a video about it here https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/a-terminal-tmux-vim-and-fzf-t... and the script is in my dotfiles at https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/se.... But it wouldn't be hard to make the script more general purpose and put the configuration in a YAML file instead of in the script. Then add

attributes for each supported app along with how those values would get replaced. If the app supports plain text config files it could realistically be done.
