You could try getting familiar with the basics of vim and then continue using your IDE.
This is how I use vim. It’s great for quick edits and ssh boxes but I’m not a fan of maintaining all the plugins and settings manually so I have a barebones vim setup.
- zer00eyz 2y agoThis! I don't need to turn vim into an IDE, and nor do I want to. However VIM is an amazing tool that's worth learning on its own merit. It's the text editor that's everywhere you need it to be, and I have never had an admin say "NO" to adding it into a box or environment to work/test.
- moffkalast 2y agoYou know what's also great for quick edits and ssh boxes? Nano. No learning curve and it's perfectly cromulent.
- nextos 2y agoSame happens to Emacs. The complexity of Emacs is grossly exaggerated. You can get around with relatively little know-how. The problem is that knowing what you need to know is not easy. Most tutorials, including the official one, focus too much on details and too little on concepts to get you bootstrapped.
