Once I tried Vim because everyone says it's faster, but I found that to be exaggerated. For example:
save in Vim:
[esc] : w enter
3 or 4 keystrokes involving two hands.
save in emacs:
C-x-s
one 3 fingered chord with the left hand.
And the chords can be hit much faster than key sequences.
- alpaca128 6y agoIf you're using Vim or Emacs with the default configuration you're wasting most of the potential. Add `map <C-x><C-s> <Esc>:w<CR>` to your .vimrc and now you have the exact same C-x-s shortcut in all modes. Although I personally prefer Alt-s(`<A-s>`). Vim can be much faster because it can be adapted to the user. For me that's the whole point of using it, otherwise I might as well just use VS Code and curse at the annoyances every day.
