The most annoying thing about vim/vi is that after using it for twenty years I still don't know all the useful things you can do with it. To put that in context, I find vim indispensable. And adding stuff like markdown preview and fzf integration just makes the problem worse. Sigh.
- christophilus 4y agoFalse. The most annoying thing about vim is that I can’t type properly in web input boxes, email clients, rich text editors… I want vim in all the places.
- zach_garwood 4y agoI was doing a live coding challenge in some online editor the other day, and I think they were really confused as to why I kept typing "h" and "k" and "g" all over the place.
- gorjusborg 4y agoThis is me, and it has gotten worse since using the neovim extension with vscode. I used to have a mental cue that terminal was hjkl; and GUI was pointy-clicky. Now if I ever go to something like intellij IDEA, I'm spamming home row all over the code :)
- dontlaugh 4y agoIntelliJ has a pretty good vim emulation plugin, actually.

- b93rn 4y agoI don't care if i'am not using every feature in Vim. I gave up on NVIM, because i was completely done with configuring plugins with bad documentation, no good defaults. For every plugin i needed to learn more and more shortcuts. After an update some plugins were broken etc. I just now stick with VSCode with the NVIM plugin.
