Its so rough watching non vimmers use vim

[-] dilawar@lemm.ee 36 points 2 years ago

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

STOP! You're scaring the children!

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 11 points 2 years ago

….I’ve been using :wq for years…

[-] naught@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] PseudoSpock@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

It’s straight up vi, bro.

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

This is the way

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Compositions don't bother me. Repititions do

Those last two made me physically recoil wtf

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

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.

At my job I wrote a lengthy document on how to use vim, like the core concepts of the hot keys (each key has a meaning behind it, text objects and such). I feel like everyone was happy about it but no one used it at all. It's painful as hell to see them fumble on vi and vim.

[-] XpeeN@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago

You can share it at !vim@sopuli.xyz I'm sure people (me included) would love to use it

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 4 points 2 years ago

I'd love to but it's in French, don't know if that's a deal breaker or not ahah

[-] PseudoSpock@lemmy.fmhy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

Are you kidding? I remove nano on purpose so I can sit there and watch them struggle!

Brilliant! I'm putting this in a script and running it on every single server I have SSH access to.

People gotta grow up sometime. Might as well be with vim. 😇
