Vim is hard to use. Would it be worth it to learn it?

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The only real benefit of vim IIRC is that it's always included in an installation. The other text editors may need to be separately downloaded/installed on new or unfamiliar systems.

Like the other user said, if nano works for you, keep it. If you ever are forced to use vim however, a cheatsheet like this one should make it doable. (And yes, hitting esc a couple times before entering any command is a common practice to make sure you exited a mode)

It's also faster/easier for people who know how to use it as you don't have to take your hands off the keyboard and can zoom around, people that don't know their way around Vim however find it more annoying to use.

But if you type the other command too fast after hitting Esc, it might be treated as Alt and do the wrong thing completely.

It’s not that hard after all, but requires some attention span at least initially

I’ve been trying to learn for years, apparently I failed to have what it takes to learn

Seeing microsd cards left out in the open around an animal gives me anxiety. You might accidentally install linux on your cat.

That's a good thing :3

Ah. Fellow KDE Plasma user. Always good to see.

He's telling you its time to switch from Nano to Vim, and stop using your cursor so much.

[–] Changer098@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

I've heard people have strong beliefs about text editors but this is ridiculous!

[–] gregor 5 points 2 years ago

Vim is quite hard to use @-@. I would have to learn using it and that is not easy. So far I'm satisfied with using VS code and nano.

Ah, the old game of cat and mouse

I know there's some kind of joke here about cats and computer mice... there has to be.

my cat goes after my laptop all the time and it's never gotten scratched. The rubber on the corners however have gotten a tad bitten lol

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Capacitive touch monitors would be close, but they tend to be expensive and just ust regular glass. (still could resist a cat scratch as long as there isn't any grit/sand stuck in the claws)

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

You could probably put a sheet of glass in front of your monitor... Haven't seen any glass monitors I believe.
