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?
Nano gang
I’m at the point where I’m considering moving to vim because I’m sick of the lack of good defaults on Nano and Micro for quick edits, and I’m also tired of IDEs breaking my flow with poor defaults that pop open UI components which must be navigated differently depending on what it is, or just switching back to the mouse every couple seconds.
Just haven’t made the jump yet because I want to sit down and go through all the hot keys in one go, including for global stuff like tmux, the DE, etc.
Yes 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
Hell no
Sorry my hands are busy
`C - x 2’
C -x C-f ~/.emacs.d/init.elC-x C-sI have a vim setup with plenty of plugins that honestly, I don’t know if I need anymore.
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.
I tried it but I prefer “Comet” for the tough jobs. /s
i usually just use nano
Helix for really quick edits, emacs for pretty much anything else. I do use tridactyl in firefox though, does that count? 😁
iyes :wq
Been there, done that: forgetting to press ESC
I pressed it. Just pressed it again. Turns out it doesn’t show up on Lemmy. Lol
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).
I use nano for quick edits and vim for longer stuff or things that need better find and replace.
No, but I’m interested in using something more advanced than nano but I have no real need to.
Yes, won’t quit, can’t quit, seriously, help.
