I tried a couple of times and it’s still magic to see anyone able to use it properly
I’ll just stick to VScode for now I guess
PSA: run
vimtutor
in the terminalOooh that’s a handy feature I didn’t know about
This is exactly how I learned all those years ago, and to this day, I still use vim regularly. As in, literally, I was using it on a server this morning to make some changes. It’s just become natural to me now.
I have about 30 years of my career left. That’s not enough time for the return on investment of learning VIM to payout.
Eh. I know the basics. I can open, do some very basic editng, save and close. That’s about as much as is really needed, right?
You can close VIM? Fucking legend.
By the way, the vim extension for VScode is great, so why not combine both.
35 years ago (give or take) I used vi (no “m”) for email and Usenet. I doubt I could remember how to do anything useful with it now.
Drat, I’ve been working with vi for 35y now… (feeling old) I’m glad I now know how to kill the mouse functions in vim so X clipboard works. ;)
Tried emacs once (in '94)… opened an extra xterm and killed it as I couldn’t figure out how to save and exit. (it’s just what you’re used to ;) )
so… how does one kill the mouse functions?
With a stick ;)
From my .vimrc:
" disable mouse set mouse-=a
VSCodium
