a pro vim user watching a vim noob using arrow keys.

  • Using “cmd+f” to search terminal buffers instead of /
  • Using :wqa! and then reopening the editor instead of just using :w
  • Deleting an entire line by hitting x repeatedly
  • Adding to the end of a like by pressing i and then the right arrow key until they're at the end of a line

Deleting an entire line by hitting x repeatedly

The first time I ever touched Double Ds was in vim.

It's all fun and games until someone does ddO instead of using S ;(

I've heard some people even use :wq over :x

[–] CodeBlooded@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

….I’ve been using :wq for years…

That sounds like emacs-user talk. We don't take kindly to you folks around these parts...

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It’s straight up vi, bro.

[–] lavafroth@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

This is the way

Compositions don't bother me. Repititions do

To be fair, I use arrow keys and I've been using vim for years. I happen to use Dvorak, so hjkl is... inconvenient (jk are where cv are on qwerty, h is where j is, and l is where p is). I could remap, but I'm used to other shortcuts.

I almost never use hl, but I use jk periodically. I just happen to use other movements more.
