That’s when you learn vim or emacs. Instead of editing character wise, you move to bigger structures. Every editing task becomes a short list of commands and with the power of macros, repeatable. Then if you do it often, you add (easily) a custom command for it.
- andyferris 1y agoSpeaking of tedious and exhausting my patience… learning to use vim and emacs properly. I do like vim but I barely know how to use it and I’ve had well over a decade of opportunity to do so! Pressing TAB with copilot to cover use cases you’ve never needed to discover a command or write a macro for is actually kinda cool, IMO.
