What if you need to type `jj`? Not uncommon to do so while writing math or physics papers. a_{jj}
- sidibe 3y agoSpacemacs defaults to fd, I don't think I ever accidentally left insert mode with that. Happy vscode user these days. If I find myself fiddling with an editor it's a huge red flag to me that I hate what I'm working on.
- turboponyy 3y agofd sounds much worse as now you can't jump to d characters.
- gsinclair 3y agoFalse. The fd mapping would only apply in insert mode. Jumping to d only occurs in normal mode.
- turboponyy 3y agoOops - you're correct, of course.

- distcs 3y agoI still don't understand how these mappings are good. What if you need to type "fd" in insert mode? Like fd0, fd1, etc. Isn't that going to be a pain? Do you never have to type "fd"?
- wzdd 3y agoThere is a timeout on multi-key mappings, so if you need to type fd0 you type f, wait 'timeoutlen' (1 second by default apparently), then type d0. That's a pain, but it doesn't come up often. In return you get quite a lot of functionality (due to vim being modal) without having to move your fingers beyond the letter keys, which is quite relaxing.
- eptcyka 3y agoHaving fiddled with file descriptors, I could never live with such a remap. To each their own :)
- krab 3y agoNot using this personally but there can be a timeout, or you do jk<backspace>j. Fine if the letter sequence is rare enough.
- themadturk 3y agoType "jj" a little slower if you don't want it to be <esc>, it works fine.
