The ergonomics are so much better than vi/vim/nano that it is my go to edit from the CLI tool. Sometimes it's faster to just edit a line than mouse over to my IDE.
And yes I think vim has bad ergonomics. It's so much effort to get it configured to work for me. I get way more out of Alfred and my moonlander keyboard with macros that work across the whole OS.
- rgoulter 5y agoA moonlander keyboard makes for an interesting comparison here: It's worth taking time to learn something to get a better experience. Keyboard layering takes some time to get used to (especially if you can already use a standard keyboard), but is worth being able to reduce hand movements. Modal editing takes some time to get used to, but provides a richer navigation/editing experience. Similarly, you can customise your moonlander to the point where it's yours and no one would know how to use your keyboard.
