Provide vim

[bernhardmgruber]

I use the devcontainers to compile and run CCCL benchmarks on our internal cluster. Since VSCode is sometimes troublesome I also need to work on the command line. It would help me immensely if the vim command could be provided. It was already a pain to learn a few basic vim commands, so please don't let me repreat this horror with vi. Thank you!

Friendly reminder :)

Maybe vim-tiny would be adequate? https://www.baeldung.com/linux/vim-tiny-properties

The devcontainers/features/common-utils feature installs vim-tiny, and it's available at /usr/bin/vim.tiny. Does that work for you @bernhardmgruber?

Thank you for that suggestion! I tried it briefly and noticed it lacks syntax highlighting, but otherwise works. I will give it a try for some time. Thx for the suggestion!

Is this a slurm cluster? If so, I have a script that makes working with slurm clusters as seamless as normal VSCode Remote SSH (by salloc'ing a compute node and automatically logging in to it directly when it's ready).
