installed emacs into vim...
For me its more "who are you" "I am on every system but you never use me"
vi, tac, less, more, ...
Why don't you use less? It's great
Less is for scrolling through output right? And what does more do?
I just use cat and a terminal emulator that can scroll lol
Search through output with / and other vi keybinds
Nice
VI was so pathetic and old - blasphemy! - that I almost gave up on college and the career as I mistakenly thought in my grief, at having to suffer that dreck, that it was all gonna be like that.
Thankfully someone showed me anything different. About 5 options, actually . I picked one and I'm happy to use anything else (eg sed-i) unless vi is the only thing left; and then I decide whether it's worth it.
What a sad old callback to the Vietnam war that is (not for the name; it's that old).
I know the vi cabal will be upset to hear someone who tried it actually doesn't worship it. They're gonna downvote me. That's okay. I got over that hate 30 years ago.
Just remember : there's probably something else you can use and experience more joy, if they haven't demanded everything else be removed.
