I legitimately don't know how people can code without using some emacs or vim commands. Even the simplest stuff like M-f/M-b or C-a/C-e are so ingrained in how I use a computer. Do people genuinely not use them? Do they just navigate with the mouse and arrow keys? I suppose there's alternatives like Cmd-<left> and Cmd-<right> or Alt-<left> and Alt-<right>.

- groovy2shoes 7y agoM-f/M-b = Meta-f/Meta-b (the Meta key is usually mapped to the Alt key on typical PC keyboards): move forward/backward a word. In vim, the equivalent is normal mode w/b. C-a/C-e = Control-a/Control-e: move to beginning/end of line. In vim, normal mode 0/$.
