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?
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.
Yes
vim all day
They will take it from my cold dead hands
Save the Ugandan children
Neovim is my goto editor for terminals. Yes.
:wq
Only helix
I keep it holy with Emacs
I started in vim and now moved into evil emacs
nano
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
I like to press"Control-c" instead of ESC. It is more convenient to type and mostly does the same thing.
No, I use Neovim. But this I use 100% of the time.
I use it where it’s available and helix isn’t
Same. Every machine I have control of I install Helix. For the rest, I remember just enough vi to do what I need and get out.
Old school Emacs user here. The keyboard shortcuts are so ingrained in my head I don’t know if I would ever be able to switch to another editor. Old dog …
Didn’t end your post with :wq
ZZ
Because you use :x for that.
Yes
Vim is slop-coded now, unfortunately. I use evil Emacs.
I guess I should take another look at evil-mode.
There are forks.
evi is not mature enough and doesn’t have any package repos. There is another fork that I’m not going to mention, because it’s developed by a horrible human being.
Some of us run our own forks. I’m a big fan of software that has stopped changing.
Yes! Neovim for coding, Vim for non-code editing
There is literally and figuratively no reason to not use Neovim for both.
I’m a freelance linux it nerd. I figured I better get used to vim/nvim because every company I visited had different tooling available but their servers ALWAYS had vim.
Now I have a nice .vim setup I can easily copy/paste and work easily and fast. I’ve become quite adept in the years following that decision.
Plus, as a freelance dude using vim quickly and flying through code bases makes it really seem like I know what I’m doing / hacker type … I don’t. And I’m no hacker… But the customer is happy soooo :-)
P.s. I’m currently trying out the Zed editor with vim bindings. They are emaculate!
