minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·4 hours agoDoesn’t matter we will tell you either way. Instead of simply shortcuts, vim uses “chords”. Every new shortcut I learn can be combined intuitively* with all the other shortcuts I know. Because of this there’s no faster way to edit files than Vim in the hands of an experienced user. this let’s me spend almost no time editing code, freeing up the rest of my time for swearing at piss poor documentation. * I use “intuitively” here in a way that not merely stretches, but outright abuses the definition of the word.

Gosh you make it sound almost like you play Vim like an instrument more than use it…! Honestly that sounds cool _
