I'm going to produce a song called "sudo yum install nano" so the playlist can be complete

I'll tell you what though: one you get used to it, you really get used to it.

I typed :q to try and close a tab the other day.

Edit: a tab not in vim, of course

Lol yeah i try to close everything with it. Same with getting used to tiling. Insead of draging my mouse across the screen 20 times i just press a few key combos. But then i need to use a windows machine and everyone wonders why "the it guy" doesnt know how to use a computer.

At one point I had a plugin for MS Word that added vim key bindings because I kept leaving stray vim commands while editing other people's documents.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago

There are vim keybindings for Code. Discovered that yesterday.

Though, if you want vim bindings for Code, probably should just use vim...

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

By Code do you mean VSCode? I use it all the time with VIM key bindings. It offers so much more than VIM with less finicky configuration. It's the first IDE I've ever actually liked. Before now it was VIM or nothing.

Never tried it myself, but there is this: Vimium addon for Firefox

It’s great!

I don't remember what program it was but I once went to configure something, and the command to "open settings" essentially just opened a text file in vim.

Being a nano scrub that took me a second to get out of.

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 13 points 1 day ago

It probably opened it in ${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vim}}; usually setting one of those variables in e.g. bashrc will avoid future vim.

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

Sometimes, programs that need to start up an editor will honour the $EDITOR environment variable, which should contain the name of, or full path to, a user's preferred editor.

It's not set by default though, and a lot of things will naturally default to vi or even ed. Something to be set in a .profile, .bashrc or similar.

$VISUAL is another variable that is used for similar purposes.

The resemblance to certain two letter commands is not entirely a coincidence.

I learned enough ed(1) to be able to do quick edits in smaller files, and it is actually quite nice to have that simplicity without all the bells and whistles of modern editors.

Everything reminds me of Vim
