lol @ Vim users that have to write configuration files, memorize complicated keyboard shortcuts, and install 20 plugins just to be able to copy and paste text between files. It's 2016, try using a real editor like Atom.
(Am I doing it right?)
- clock_tower 10y agoYes, you certainly are -- you hateful covert Emacs advocate! I know what you're up to, you're trying to discredit the good editor so that you can quietly build up your overbuilt piece of crap! Atom is built on Emacs, isn't it?! (/s. All the /s in the world.)
- ythl 10y agoAtom? What is this, 2015? Sublime is still king, Atom was a passing fad.
- devishard 10y agoI use vim w/o plugins and with the stock configuration. I frequently have two files open side-by-side. If I want to copy the current line in the left file to the right file, the keystrokes are: yy<Ctrl+w>lp It's really not that hard to copy between files in Vim. :P
- jlg23 10y agoA user who has been using vi[m] and emacs for 20+ years - what are you trying to say? Please don't tell me that I should just use the mouse and context menus, I'm so much faster with touch typing.... [EDIT: yes, I know both editors very well and have config files for both; does this make me "worse" than someone who has not taken the time to learn how to configure his/her editor?]
