- jcranmer 6y ago> tweet with i "Hello World!" <ESC> t, native vim keymap support vim is not GNU, emacs is. That means it would actually be <M-t> Hello World! <C-x> <C-s>, and the documentation would have a lengthy section on what the "Meta" key is and why not just call it "Alt".

- neilpanchal 6y agoThat's unnecessarily complicated. The vim way is better.
- dexen 6y agoNeither actually :-) EMACS dates back to 1976 (David Moon & Guy Steele); vi also dates back to 1976 (Bill Joy). GNU Project dates back "only" to 1983, with GNU Emacs soon after: 1984.
