The way you use Vim, how often are you in INSERT mode? 10% of the time?
- WorldMaker 10y agoIt certainly depends on what I'm working on, but as the saying goes code is typically read a lot more than it is written and there are definitely days of bug finding and editing where you hit or dip below 10% in insert mode, spending much more of your time in other modes or navigation. I'm not sure my average day is 10%, the mean is probably more like somewhere between 25-40% when I was most heavily using Vim to write code. I'm more often going to be in insert mode writing prose, but that is a different flow state. Also, even with prose it sometimes feels like you spend more time editing it than writing it.
