Vi key bindings don't apply outside of vi
- mpalmer 5mo agoThankfully my work applies inside vi.
- shagie 5mo agoI learned vi key bindings in rogue, hack, and moria (before numpads were common for that binding to be default) before I learned them in vi.
- Lio 5mo agoThat's not true at all. Many readline and terminal based clients support vi bindings, you just have to enable them. e.g. stuff like psql. The shells themselves also support vi binding. Outside of the terminal tools like Vimium add support to browsers and many other interfaces.
- Ferret7446 5mo agoReadline supports Emacs bindings by default, and so do many textboxes (e.g. Ctrl-backspace, ctrl-arrow key), so that argument is stronger for Emacs than vi.
- analog_daddy 5mo agoHaha. I spent a significant amount of time getting vim keybinds everywhere, and eventually had to make exceptions for certain software. But, I had my share of making exceptions I guess and got frustrated when I couldn’t map Win+L in Windows to anything and I decided to solve it once and for all. Got a QMK programmable keyboard and now I use hjkl everywhere I would use arrow keys. Did it save me time? No. After 8 months of usage on split keyboard I am back at my original speed and don’t need a cheatsheet for my symbols layer, but it made me less frustrated and feel more free. I don’t need a AHk script or key remapping and their restrictions, this is wayy easieer especially with live VIA configurator.
