Vim Will Actually Change Your Life. 

But I don't know vim and I already feel better than everyone else, what should I do???

@@GreyMatterPlatter u should learn vim, that way you will feel better than yourself

You're doing it the wrong way. Learn ed to ascend to the agora of gods.

goat comment

vim and terminal

Tried to do a simple edit on a file once. Saving the foreign letters didn't encode right. Accidentally deleted a line. Truly the better editor.

@@snacksy7754 Your comment only tells me that you don't know how vim works. If you know the software and don't like it, that is personal opinion. But if you don't know it and still trash on it, it is just dumb.

@@snacksy7754 "I had my text encoding settings wrong and made a mistake while using it. The editor must be garbage" I don't even know how that happened because I've never had foreign language characters not saved. Vim defaults to UTF-8 encoding, so either the file was written wrong by whatever you used on it before opening it with vim, or if it was made with vim you changed the default encoding. But it's vim's fault right?

That's pretty much what I use vim for, editing config files or any kind of system file on the fly, I wonder why I was using nano years ago

@@zackinator1439 Thanks for making my day better! 😸

You're welcome

It's not about being better than him, it's about being a better version of yourself.

​@@davidkeys4284 yeah, I know. Memes aside, I've been using exclusively Vim for text editing for about 6 months now and it's just awesome. I use chords like ct; and df) and cj and dap quite often and it's so satisfying to see how the text change with just a few keystrokes. I'm glad I slowly started learning Vim a year ago thanks to Luke

@@vo3474 Hello! I figure lawyers can work with text so they can use (.txt | .html | .xml) files for retrieving information and write .tex or the likes for formatting. No bloated text editors like MS Word (do you?). The benefits would be: fast search and replace of text (maybe the most obvious if you work with templates for e.g. contracts and it may be included in other editors, but in vim you can declare variables and do a lot more in this regard), macros for text formatting, it's light and extensible, if you use it with a window manager you can read text A that references text B while regex searching specific parts of texts B (this happens in every discipline, but I figure not many lawyers know either regex or vim). I do have to say that I'm an intermediate Linux user so my methods may not be optimal, but my increase in productivity was unimaginable for me just a year ago.

@@miguelbustamante5271 Law 2 Student here, I agree with everything in this comment, using Vim (and knowing how to use it) is sure to improve your paperwork efficiency

@@miguelbustamante5271 and for those who may not be familiar, when miguel says regex, he's referring to a powerful method of search text called "regular expressions".

I AM a lawyer and VIM, LaTex and git have made my life so much easier, holy shit. Though this only applies to little lawyers like myself who can't afford to outsource everything to a secretary via dictation. Trying to teach a secretary VIM and LaTex would be extremely funny, though.

im a druglord and vim made my life also so much easier

Preach! Hate all these minimalists that use appropriate tools for their problems from a toolbox they assembled over years of experience, instead of just using an all-in-one solution for the masses. Like, how can you be so arrogant not to appreciate giant IDEs that any beginner can use without research, that come with tons of shiny features you neve use? Are they trying to imply I'm dumb with their choices????

vIM CAN MAKE all YOUR WILDEST DREAMS COME TRUE!! :d

":D"? What command is that?

because Emacs is not as good editor a Vim, that is just a fact, but Emacs is a OS.

@@voidspawn2351 you can do everything that you can do with vim in emacs evil mode, that's why i still watch Luke's vim videos

@@tahmidislamchowdhury7301 you are only talking that about evil mode because you don't know VIM well, there is so much more to Vim then what Evil Mode give you, i use both, i try really hard to make Emacs do all my Vim do.

I think Vim keymaps for IDEs are good when you already know Vim and are suffering because of inefficient editing in IDEs, but not necessarily for learning it. They're always somewhat less vimish than Vim itself.

Shouldn't a debugger be a standalone program instead of a plugin?

@@xGOKOPx The Vrapper plugin for Eclipse is pretty complete. I prefer using it over pure VIM, because VIM is better for text editing, but not for debugging, refactoring and other IDE tasks. So using Eclipse with VIM editing is pretty much the sweet spot for me.

@@deoxal7947 No. Debugging with a plugin debugger within your IDE is much, much faster than using two entirely separate programs. It's a convenience thing.

@@gayusschwulius8490 I meant as opposed to modifying Vim to do debugging. I'm not opposed to IDEs at all but between integrating the debugger with Vim or other text editor and just running the debugger from the terminal, I think I'd pick the latter.

luckily, most IDEs have vim plugins. also, you can secretly run vim in the background and use it when people aren't looking. (;

sports make you develop physically and have plenty of health benefits (if we're not talking about competitive sports, that can be quite unhealthy sometimes)

@@ss-oy3lq I suppose that may be true, but then the question is are physical attributes really what matter? Also, thanks for the reply kind sir

@I like my own comments. fuck off well youd be surprised (not me, but someone I know)

@@daark982 you perform better in more cerebral matters and are happier if you do sports or any kind of physical activity, humans were not supposed to sit in front of a computer for hours at a time, also being attractive is quite an obvious pro here. you would probably prefer a healthier and therefore more beautiful chick and same goes for how women perceive you

I'm the opposite. I use Vim but I prefer Emacs keybindings in the terminal.

I feel like it's going the other way. Mac's already come with vim; Microsoft added windows subsystem for linux, dotnet framework works in linux, and now recently they have created the arm version dotnet core for arm processors, which I'd argue that most arm based devices have a unix/linux based system. Most servers are linux based. Chromebooks have their linux beta option that you can enable in settings. Linux is officially supported on almost every system now (barring Macs; but they are unix based already), but a few years ago this wasn't true, it was unofficially supported via virtual machines. Knowing Vim means that you can jump on any device and utilize a tool you are familiar with, regardless of system. But if you heavily customized Vim, then you may have an extra step to have it load your configuration file from somewhere else, then if you do that, it'll work as customized. I had a task I had to do a while ago, working along with my brother in law, but I had to use one of his windows machines on a freshly installed profile, I jumped into the command line, ssh'd into a server and used my vim there, later when I had more time, I installed cygwin, then scp'd my files back locally and continued working. Also, most editors have some sort of Vim mode, so when I had to do some work in Visual Studio, I enabled Vim mode and continued like normal, I didn't have to think about the system, I was just able to focus on what I already know. But Vim bindings are everywhere, beyond text editors. Many application shortcuts have some sort of Vim like bindings, sometimes different, but once you know Vim, they just make sense. But on top of that, using a tool like surfingkeys in the browser, I can continue using my vim bindings (opening windows, jumping tabs, scrolling, clicking, editing) to do everything in the browser as fast as I can think about it. Vim bindings are everywhere, and it integrates with most things. You don't need linux.

@@Qewbicle Most users' systems have Windows, and the Windows subsystem for Linux sucks fat teticular tubes, almost nobody uses it, let alone knows about it. Reality is that vim is still really only for enthusiasts like us.

In this new place called “The Internet”, might heard of it ;)

"most efficient text editor for a knowledgeable user" ≠ "most efficient text editor for the average user"

Usability is not a thing. I want to spend an afternoon googling commands for every tool I use.

It's not for slow learners.

Its the most efficient - not the "fastest to learn". They optimize efficiency over "getting to know fast" which trust me is good for people like me who learned it... because now everything else seems like a slow turtle for editing anything while vim feels like neuralink or "Ultra Instinct" from dragonball haha :D

@@folksurvival 99% of computer users have never opened a terminal at this point

@@folksurvival 1995 was 25 years ago. Children born then have their own children by now.

@@folksurvival Zoomers don't have children because the oldest Zoomers are 20, so most of them are still in school or university. Millenials have no such excuse. But I agree, and I think Polybius wrote of a similar phenomenon among the decadent ancient Greeks shortly before their subjugation, whereby the Greeks would mostly have no children, sometimes one, and very rarely two, so that they could splash their wealth on indulging their increasingly depraved desires.

So... how is your learning going? )

@@deniskhakimov I am so happy to have made the switch. Vim (neovim) is absolutely amazing. Stopped using other text editors (although I use "micro" intermittently). The ability to use modes like execute, visual, insert etc in vim, is so powerful. The learning curve is steep though. I often forget which "mode" I am in and am still getting my head around "visual" mode. That said, neovim config is fun with so many colorschemes to choose from. what about you ?

man vim...

@@gavinthornhill690 I'll be honest. I rarely look at man pages for a free or open source software as my go to for learning something that is new. I'm a dummy and man pages tend to be written in such a way that things are hard to find and understand when I am new to the it.

vim tutor is only for teaching you the very basics :h quickref has alot of these shortcuts and commands

You don't understand. Vim doesn't just have some weird shortcuts for stuff that every other editor does. Vim has many advanced operations on text that conventional editors don't, and they make editing a lot more efficient.
