I’d like to remind you that you are arguing about the efficiency of renaming a file. This argument is so nonsensical it doesn’t bear contemplating.

- stevebmark 8y agoyup, you're right, talking about concrete examples of efficiency in a thread about efficiency is "so nonsensical," which you only pointed out after posting dozens of keystrokes for something that takes two keystrokes in well designed editors.
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoExcluding the filename and extension which would have to type out in any case, there are actually only 22 keystrokes there. So, not dozens. You could also not bother destroying the old buffer. You could also do: :!mv % newfile.txt<cr><cr>:e newfile.txt Again excluding the filename and extension, that's a total of 12 keystrokes. And again, this is not a task anyone spends much of their working life performing. Give up.
- sagartewari01 8y agoI guess the point is that even such small tasks require typing cryptic commands in vim.
