Do you use vim as your default text editor? If you do not, have you ever been in a situation you could do nothing but use vim?
Yes I do all the time. But there are occasions where I have to use Vi as there’s no Vim.
I’ve been using Vim for 20 years.
I only opened it once and I haven’t been able to close it yet
I’m not sure at what point in the last 20 years they put the instructions in the vim, but it gives you clear instructions on what to do if it thinks you’re trying to escape from vim jail.
It’s called a power button.
iyes :wq
Been there, done that: forgetting to press ESC
I pressed it. Just pressed it again. Turns out it doesn’t show up on Lemmy. Lol
I like to press"Control-c" instead of ESC. It is more convenient to type and mostly does the same thing.
Yes
vim all day
They will take it from my cold dead hands

Neovim is my goto editor for terminals. Yes.

Yes, won’t quit, can’t quit, seriously, help.
Vim is slop-coded now, unfortunately. I use evil Emacs.
I guess I should take another look at evil-mode.
There are forks.
evi is not mature enough and doesn’t have any package repos. There is another fork that I’m not going to mention, because it’s developed by a horrible human being.
Some of us run our own forks. I’m a big fan of software that has stopped changing.
I’m a freelance linux it nerd. I figured I better get used to vim/nvim because every company I visited had different tooling available but their servers ALWAYS had vim.
Now I have a nice .vim setup I can easily copy/paste and work easily and fast. I’ve become quite adept in the years following that decision.
Plus, as a freelance dude using vim quickly and flying through code bases makes it really seem like I know what I’m doing / hacker type … I don’t. And I’m no hacker… But the customer is happy soooo :-)
P.s. I’m currently trying out the Zed editor with vim bindings. They are emaculate!
I keep it holy with Emacs
I started in vim and now moved into evil emacs
No, I use Neovim. But this I use 100% of the time.
Sorry my hands are busy
`C - x 2’
C -x C-f ~/.emacs.d/init.elC-x C-snano
micro > nano
yes, that’s how unit prefixes work
Didn’t end your post with :wq
Because you use :x for that.

Yes I do and to my delight I’ ve yet to encounter a situation where I can’t use the editor I prefer anyway. Joy.
