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?
VI and vim have been my editors of choice for thirty plus years at this point. I also use set -o vi in bash.
Fuck no. There are better things to invest your brain power in.
Sorry my hands are busy
`C - x 2’
C -x C-f ~/.emacs.d/init.elC-x C-sNo, and no. Sorry.
Yes, I’ve used it as my main editor for years now.
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
Nano gang
I have a vim setup with plenty of plugins that honestly, I don’t know if I need anymore.
Hell no
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.
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
i usually just use nano
I’ve been using Vim for 20 years.
I only opened it once and I haven’t been able to close it yet
I’m not sure at what point in the last 20 years they put the instructions in the vim, but it gives you clear instructions on what to do if it thinks you’re trying to escape from vim jail.
It’s called a power button.
Helix for really quick edits, emacs for pretty much anything else. I do use tridactyl in firefox though, does that count? 😁
Yes
I see the appeal of using something like NeoVim or Helix, but I don’t even leverage all of the features regular Vim has, and it is pre installed on all the systems and equipment I use. It’s plenty powerful for what I need, and now that I’m getting the keystrokes down it’s awesome
vim all day
They will take it from my cold dead hands
