How to use vim in 2 simple steps:

1- Pretend to use vim

2- Use nano like a normal person

Am I a bad person for using Visual Studio Code?

You are just normal and sane

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I upvoted because yes, you are bad and you should feel bad.

You obviously didn't get the memo that you are supposed to only work in a text shell.

Or Micro, if you're a filthy casual like me

Jesus, how much more basic can you really get than nano?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Ed or just sed

Who cares about labels, Micro is the bomb

I tried nano, but none of the standard key combination would let me save or quit.

[–] demonsword 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you can always edit /etc/nanorc if you don't like the stock keyboard shortcuts

[–] beigegull 5 points 1 year ago

Like, with vim?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's why it's so nice that nano helpfully displays the keyboard shortcuts on the screen.

No indeed they wouldn't, but it's still not as bad as vim.

I know how to use Vim, but then I switched to Colemak, and now I don't know how to use Vim.
