    Vim keybindings aren’t memorization as much as they are muscle memory.

      So true- I was talking to someone about vim the other day and wanted to tell them the keybinding for something I use daily, but had no idea what it was without a keyboard there for reference.

          That’s not an array, that’s a string.
          Someone is converting an array to a string and is using that as key.

          A lot of languages could do it, and none of them should.

      I love Lua. Can I do anything useful with it?

      I don’t know a language. Some sort of decision freeze. I’ve tried Lua, C#, Linux BASH, and Java. I went from learning C# to homelabbing proxmox. I have more success learning IT stuff.

      Also I haven’t used Vim or Emacs, but I used to rebind ALL of my keys in every game I played. I deeply love keybinding and using the keyboard rather than the mouse.

    This feels like me, especially when I have six different splits in a full screen terminal screen between vim and tmux and someone asks how I’m doing that.

      I work primarily in tmux and even in an IT department, people regularly say something along the lines of “woah are you hacking?”

      At times, I’ve also juggled (in addition to vim and tmux) hotkeys for my current tiling WM of choice and extra hotkeys to swap between machines via barrier. I’m not sure how I’m able remember what I had for breakfast, much less someone’s name.

    I have no idea what this is about but I love the meme template.

      You may enjoy Vim Adventures to get some context - and it’s pretty fun. It teaches the wild and powerful keybindings for the Vim text editor, but in the form of an online typing game.

        Vim Adventures is cool, but you can’t get very far into it without a subscription. PacVim is free and also effective at teaching some Vim commands.

    That meme’s been on the front page every day for the last week. Did karma farming bots make their way here?

    Had this been emacs it would have been funny. But with Vim you don’t remember key bindings. Vim has operations and motions. Few od each and they are combined.

        My point was that Vim has motions and operations. So there’s really no “keybindings” as such. But am considering keybindings to be combination of Meta, Alt, Ctrl keys with something and Emacs has a lot of those. Not sure about the self-documenting part as I’ve never extensively used it. Perhaps I should have chosen Eclipse as an example.
