Vim and Emacs are popular in ultra critical environments, and as far as we know they aren't compromised by any intelligence agency.
but I like
nano!nanolikes you too. But real h4x0rs usevim. Oremacsif they have 40 fingers.nano good for idiot. me stupid. me nano for edit config file. nano not scary to leave, nano tell you exactly how!
Thank you for not only the laughter this morning but also for perfectly explaining why I always go for nano.
you nice to me. me thank.
You know, I know the command to leave is written every time emacs is opened, but it confuses me every time.
You operate better in Emacs if you touch type, but you should learn to touch type if you work in an editor a lot
You rarely need to hold more than crtl, shift and a character, and you have ctrl and shift both sides of the keyboard so it's easy
Meta is toggled in the default configuration tap it then do whatever key combinations.
Ctrl+g cancels partly complete commands
im pretty sure you can operate emacs with only one finger with some insane configuration tho
Yes. They call it "Evil Mode".
lol, but evil is vim keybinds. i was thinking of something more like morse code with one key
I'm pretty sure someone already did a Morse IME that could be used for that.
I have โ were I more artistically talented โ often wanted to create graphics and stickers for Emacs utilizing the noble octopus.
nano's greatI used to like nano too. Then I found micro.
Yeah micro is my go to these days when i just want a terminal editor that does require me to learn a whole new system for something Iโve been doing most of my life
Well just wait until you find out about mili then ๐
