I've been working inside vim for decades.
I wanted a tattoo of the vim logo but my wife said no.
- rektide 5y agoi started using dtach so i could abandon tmux & use vim as my outtermost multiplexer, as my container. one of the only things i havent dug into is how to leave a :term open without keeping a window open. this is more porblematic because im not a vim tabs user. so i end up with a bunch of super mini-sized splits eith a couple random terminals. but in general- never going back. the way on is through. these other tools just murky it up, vim is better. switching threads, recently reflected on my lifelong idlings of perhaps getting a debian tattoo. still has great appeal. but even now feels like debianistas are pretty closed ranks. that the boundary between insider & outsider is very high. & that don't jive well.
- caymanjim 5y agoAre you not using 'set hidden'? Or am I misunderstanding? You can keep a terminal active and not visible.
- RyJones 5y agoI want my headstone to read :wq!
- function_seven 5y agoAnd rest for an eternity as nerds stroll by and snort, "Hmpf, [Shift]ZZ uses fewer keystrokes."? Ha, no thanks!
- Jenk 5y ago:x - less strain on the pinky.
- mr_toad 5y agoWait, saving is an option? I want to reload!
- monkeybutton 5y ago:edit %
- welder 5y ago:e % You can usually abbreviate Vim commands down to one or two characters.
- meuko 5y agoChanged my life when I accidentally typed :qa instead of :qall and it still quit all my buffers. As stupid (and short) as it sounds, it feels much more fluent and of course I learned that abbreviations worked! I love vim!
- uolot 5y ago:e By default it reloads the current file
- monkeybutton 5y agoMy life as been a lie!
- taf2 5y agoOne of my three girls may or may not have two Vi’s in her name :)
- bch 5y agoDon’t worry, vim has your back. In Vim, on a line with only her name, type: :s/vi//ign We can get to the bottom of this mystery.
- arp242 5y agoI dated a girl called "Vi" last year (pronounced "Vee"). I explained why I thought her name was a bit amusing and ended up showing her Vim. She thought I was bonkers: "why don't you use your computer like a normal person?!" She was funny; too bad things didn't work out.
- hackmiester 5y agoMy ex asked me if my mouse was broken. We are still good friends, though!
- throw7 5y agoHa. My pc at home boots up to the linux console terminal login. I had a similar response with a similar outcome. :)
- stackbutterflow 5y agoI swear I read this comment somewhere else in the past. On reddit, HN or a twitter screenshot.
- arp242 5y agoI posted a very similar comment on Reddit /r/vim quite recently, yeah. Must've been that. Just so happens it came up here today again :-) *Edit*: found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/q6hd3i/best_pronouns_ever/hgc74sd/ https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/q6hd3i/best_pronouns_e...
- nineplay 5y agoI've long wanted the Tarsius from the O'Reilly book cover
- bryan2 5y agoI have one!
