See, I never understood these tips. If I use Vim a lot I will build muscle memory. If I build the muscle memory with these adjustments I’ll just keep tripping over myself whenever I edit a file on a station without those adjustments. And simply foregoing the shift key isn’t even that much of a time or effort save.
- cassepipe 6y agoThis. I really like the pedal idea but I won't ever get it cause I don't want to have to move around with it.
- emptyparadise 6y agoI personally spend a lot more time at my own machine than at anybody else's, so the rare muscle memory fault while deep in SSH bothers me a lot less than uncomfortable defaults.
- Lio 6y agoTotally agree with this. For me, editing is like using a musical instrument; you want to get to the point where you're not using much conscious thought to do things quickly. How you do that doesn't really mater to much. Many years ago (10 maybe?) I switched to the Colemak layout to help with an RSI. That messes up the vi home row navigation keys. For a while I tried remapping jkl but since that's not very portable to other vi-like software on my own machine. I gave up and just used muscle memory for new locations of those keys. That works surprisingly well for me. I like Vim but I'm pretty sure that a competent emacs user would have very similar relationship with its keyboard interface.
