I'd rather spend my time learning how to write better code than spend that same amount of time learning a completely different keyboard shortcut system just to edit faster.
Seriously. How many of us are actually at the point where our limiting factor is how fast we can edit instead of how fast we think about the code we want to get on the screen?
- copperx 9y agoWe love bikeshedding. Changing keyboard layouts and editors is a "fun" distraction from work.
- draw_down 9y agoYes, this is the fundamental problem with editor tweaking.
- brandonhsiao 9y agoPeople say that most of coding is thinking, but I'm not sure that's even true, and even if it were, it's still possible if you typed faster and stayed in the flow you'd also end up thinking faster. My friend used to type at 70 wpm in a regular editor. After failing some interviews because he couldn't work fast enough, he started doing http://keyhero.com http://keyhero.com and practicing vim keybindings half an hour a day. Now he types at 130 wpm, more than doubled the amount of code he writes a day, and won't shut up about it. There's certainly nothing to lose by getting faster at typing/editing code.
