Sounds like vim is aspiring to be Emacs.
Emacs!
-> Vim
Can emacs really do all of this?
I know it’s a classic but confused how I’m supposed to use Vim to send an email
Already got my Vim, any tips?
“YESS! YESSSSS! GIVE IN TO YOUR EMACS SIDE!!!”
Google Search really sucks these days. I can’t find any images of Richard M. Stallman as a Sith lord, even though I’m sure vi fans have made several edits by now. …It’s been a while.
vim -> gnu emacs
emacs -> back to vim
Vim -> Emacs
Please! no more editor wars, just use
ed
! And if you need the fancy modern features, you can always use notepad.Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all, is the standard text editor
No. Nano or gtfo
and finally you replace vim with nano
Cast out the unbeliever! Drive them from our light! Let them not pass amongst the true believers lest they lead others astray!
From a “giving tech support” POV, nano is the best editor. Have you ever tried walking a non-techie through editing a config file on the command line, over the phone, no screen share? Nano is your friend. (I swear, this very expensive software I used to support got its sysadmins by picking whoever was absent the day the the client site figured out someone had to do it.)
real G’s use
ed
It’s standard for a reason.
You know what else is standard?
strcmp
in C with user input.If you know you know.
Why Chatgpt and not Gemini? Also why no vpn? You could have put VPN by Google
Even though I regularly use vim for editing files, so many shortcuts and commands are still unknown. How would one approach this issue without reading the man page? Asking for a friend…
vimtutor
is the starting point for learning vim, but it’s fairly surface-level. To actually learn vim, you should read through the user manual by typing:help usr_01
and hitting enter in vim. It’s also accessible online here: https://vimhelp.org/usr_01.txt.html#usr_01.txt.It’s a fairly quick read, about 40ish pages that are reasonably short and is intended to be read straight through like a book. It provides a good overview of all of vim’s features.
Note: this is distinct from the reference manual, which is much, much larger and isn’t intended to be read straight through.
Honestly it’s kinda true except for Photos and Maps. Everything that is not fundamentally visual by nature can pretty efficiently be done with Vim. It truly excels at manipulating and navigating through text.
You have invented “emacs -nw”
How do I get off Google voice?
But idk what that is and I don’t want to google it 🤡
