    Literally the only thing I code in at work. Have done so for decades.

    Can’t stop, won’t stop.

      how do you tolerate the 0 and $ to jump to the ends? it’s so painfully inconvenient and made me switch to helix where it’s g->h and g->l. do you not use the default keymap?

            Most nvim users I know have their setup very much customized. That takes time, effort and is a pita. But afterwards you have a tool that just works like you want it to work, and is super fast (at least compared to VSCode).

        For me, it’s that it is shorter to type 0. Also I cannot somehow recall 2 letter commands

        Shift-A and Shift-I to append at the end or insert at the start.

        Once you know the system, it’s much easier to do everything without having to take your hands off the keyboard to use a mouse.

        Muscle memory mostly. I miss vim keybinding when I have to type in anything else, including Lemmy.

        You could also do I or A followed by esc for the same effect.

        Most often though I use / or ? to just go specifically where I want.

      Yeah, it’s a dinosaurs tool for people who refuse to adapt to new stuff.

        Imagine thinking modern IDE are more efficient than vi 😯

        Curser is more intuitive, I agree, but you will never win a code race against similar skilled coder on vi…

          Coding isn’t a race, it’s a team sport. And if you think its not, you’re in the wrong profession.

            Umm, there are regularly coding race events here where I live…

            Coding can be hobby as well, you know.

            Not all of this world is pure capitalism, some have some free time doing stuff they want how they want.

            Coding is not my profession (right now)
