Its so rough watching non vimmers use vim

[-] dilawar@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

….I’ve been using :wq for years…

[-] naught@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] PseudoSpock@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It’s straight up vi, bro.

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

This is the way

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

Compositions don't bother me. Repititions do

Those last two made me physically recoil wtf

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.

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

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year 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 1 year 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. 😇
