Do you use vim as your default text editor? If you do not, have you ever been in a situation you could do nothing but use vim?
iyes :wq
Been there, done that: forgetting to press ESC
I like to press"Control-c" instead of ESC. It is more convenient to type and mostly does the same thing.
I pressed it. Just pressed it again. Turns out it doesn’t show up on Lemmy. Lol
Sorry my hands are busy
`C - x 2’
C -x C-f ~/.emacs.d/init.elC-x C-sYes I love using neovim it feels better having an editor, agent, and cli in separate terminal tabs instead of having one program for all three
VI and vim have been my editors of choice for thirty plus years at this point. I also use set -o vi in bash.
Nano gang
Nano gang gang all the other editors wish they were as simply cool as us. 😎
Yes, won’t quit, can’t quit, seriously, help.
I have a vim setup with plenty of plugins that honestly, I don’t know if I need anymore.
Fuck no. There are better things to invest your brain power in.
I used to use vim pretty exclusively, I’ve since switched to neovim. There have been a few cases where vim/nvim weren’t available but regular vi was and I’ve used it to edit text files. I imagine there were other editors but I’m so accustom to how vi/vim/neovim does things that I can’t imagine using anything else. Sometimes someone will try and convince me to use a new editor and I’ll try it but generally end up switching back to nvim. Even vi compatibility mode doesn’t really help because I use a bunch of plugins.
No, and no. Sorry.
Hell no
Yes. I use vim as much as possible. When I don’t use vim, I use its keybindings in Firefox, IntelliJ, VSCode and even in eMacs (spacemacs with evil mode).
Yes, I’ve used it as my main editor for years now.
Helix for really quick edits, emacs for pretty much anything else. I do use tridactyl in firefox though, does that count? 😁
For quick edits in the terminal? Sure.
As my main IDE? No way. I’m too used to GUI IDEs like VSCodium and PyCharm.
I just find it easier to navigate with a mouse. With just keyboard, I find I overshoot the block of code I’m looking for, whereas scroll wheel gives me more control.
} jump forward to next empty line is really quick for navigating, also if you know the identifier then /myVar<enter>nnnn is much faster than scrolling and gets you ready to edit. Otherwise 5j;;;; also works of course.
