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
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.
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.
By the way, the vim extension for VScode is great, so why not combine both.
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.
I can do it, too.
But I learned a few key steps in the process are: hit Ctrl Q, hit Ctrl C, hit Escape a few times, swear, take a breather, remember you’re in VIM and are now (accidentally rather then due to any correct move) out of INSERT mode, type :q.
Then you go to the sofa and put yourself in the fetal position.
