Funny, I use Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code a lot. The first extensions I install are VsVim for Visual Studio and Vim in Code.
After being productive in Vim, I can't go back to using the arrow keys and the mouse. It feels like I lost a hand.
- joshjje 9y agoAdmittedly im not a hardcore vim/nix user, but I am pretty proficient in nix and CLIs in general. Are you saying you dont use the arrow keys? :D
- c0achmcguirk 9y agoHa! Sometimes. But getting around in the editor is so easy with the Vim keys that the arrow keys seem archaic. But I still push the arrow keys from time to time, you know, to make sure they still work.
- joshjje 9y agoLol, it was half joke im sure you gathered. There isnt really much of a possible shortcut to doing "move the cursor 1 character to the left".
- pritambaral 9y agoThe optimization isn't in "move the cursor 1 character to the left", it's in "move the cursor 1 character to the left without moving your arm".
- dozzie 9y agoBut there are shortcuts for things like moving cursor to next indentation block or to closing or opening brace.
- reckoner2 9y agoI use Visual Studio and I don't see that changing. Do you think it's worthwhile for me to learn to use Vim? Does using VsVim give you the same capabilities as regular Vim? And does using it take away any Visual Studio Capabilities?
