I hear you for nano, but what about compared to [graphical mouse-clicky editor of choice] (in non-vim mode)? I know enough of the basic vim commands that I could edit a file if I ever needed to but how much hand effort could it save me vs. kate or VS Code? (though i really prefer notepad++ to both of those) I feel relatively efficient in a good graphical editor but maybe I just don't know any better? Really just give me reasonable multi-selection features and I'm happy.
- nicolashahn 10y agoThere's a plugin (can't remember the name of it right now) that lets you use mouse controls as well. Click where you want the cursor, scroll, click on which tab you want, etc. That was game over with Sublime for me.
- figgis 10y agoI don't think you need a plugin for that? set mouse=a, unless I am missing something
- nicolashahn 10y agoYep you're right, my bad.
- sheer_horror 10y agoTo prove that Vim is faster than a graphical editor as well, I might make a WebM where I edit two identical files, one with notepad++ and one with Vim. Would you appreciate that? I will do that if you respond to this. Because yes, Vim ultimately will be faster.
