Yes, I have used magit while trying to find some love for emacs. It's fine. But I still prefer VS Code's git integration. It's the simplest client I've seen. I don't mind using the command line for git, but if I'm in…
Vi/Vim user since 1992. Flirted with emacs every so often. I haven't used Vim in 9 months since installing VS Code. Here's why: 1. IntelliSense support is the best outside of Visual Studio itself. 2. Integrated…
Thanks for the link. I checked it out today and was finally able to convert from pathogen to Vundle. The site gives you the exact strings to configure the plugins in all the major plugin managers. IIRC, it scans github…
I've tried switching from pathogen to Vundle a couple of times and given up when I couldn't figure out how to get it to find a few of my old plugins. This site gives me the Vundle commands that work. Finally! What a…
I think Vim is potentially as configurable as Emacs, but it is harder to do after you get past some basic key mappings and a few plugins. In all my exploring of Emacs, I never saw a .emacs that wasn't completely tricked…
What I have found is that ALL editors have modes. Most default to edit mode, and require key sequences to invoke other commands (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Function keys, Menu choices, etc), then drop you back into edit mode. Vi…
I do a lot of work on multiple rows/sections/blocks of similar data. My workflow usually goes like this... 1. Do the same thing 3 times, realize that I'll be done faster if I automate it. 2. qz to record a macro into…
I was taught that one by the brother-in-law. He also tried to teach me 1234l (the letter 'l') to go to the end of a line. I figured out a better way pretty quickly on that one. I didn't find the magical 'g' until much…
Thanks for quantifying it for me. I never dug in deep enough to figure it out. It always just felt "wonky" when I used. (That's an opinion, of course.)
Exactly. It's why I wrote the article. For me, using Vim brings with it a whole general feeling of comfort, which probably includes those early days hacking away on the Xenix box with family close by and Mario dinging…
