I often use jjj and don't plan to change that. Forty years ago, when working on slow terminals, it may have made sense to optimize movement but not today. For small movements, I tend to spam keys. For larger jumps, I use an easy-motion like plugin such as Svart. Counting lines and words simply makes no sense to me for frequent operations.
- kmarc 4y agoStart using macros for bulk editing. You'll slow down, reason about your next best move, which slowly helps mastering those optimizations. Not only because they are shorter, but because sometimes they work, as opposed to visual selection etc. An example: you might find doing jjjj easier when it's a one shot task, but for macros you mainly need "down to the end of the paragraph" (}) and so on.
- vasac 4y agoI do, but mostly when massaging data. With plugins such as multi-cursor and LSP, I rarely have the need to bulk edit code.
