Vim Calender for 2026

Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2025

A long-standing tradition by Bram Moolenaar, the creator of the Vim editor, was to provide the community with a printable, year-long desktop calendar. The calendar fits on A4 paper and only needs to be folded and glued to sit neatly on your desk, serving as both a practical date reference and a small tribute to Vim and the ICCF charity founded by Bram.

I’ve used these calendars for more than 20 years, and every year, I looked forward to set up a fresh desk calendar. Simple, practical and always within reach. For many Vim users, Bram’s printable calendar became a small yearly tradition that blended usefulness with a touch of community spirit.

After Bram passed away in 2023, I wanted to continue using these handy calendars, so I decided to create them myself. This led to an almost pixel-perfect recreation of the original Vim calendars for the years 2024 and 2025. I originally made them just for personal use, but a few months ago I decided to share them publicly on GitHub.

With the new year approaching, I’ve now created the 2026 edition as well. It’s available for download in my GitHub repository.

If you’re a longtime Vim user like me, or simply appreciate small, useful desk tools, I hope this calendar brings you the same bit of joy and practicality it has brought me over the years. Keeping this tradition alive feels like a small way to honor Bram’s legacy and the community he built. Feel free to download it, print it, and share it with anyone who might enjoy it too.
