I was being a smartass, which was uncalled for. Sorry, Angersock!
Also, I do have a mac, so maybe I'll check out vimtutor.
My point is that I'm very new to programming, and it's so much easier for me to load up Sublime Text and start getting work done. At least for now, learning vim would be something that get's in the way of learning/making. It also doesn't seem like the benefits would outweigh the cost.
- doorhammer 13y agoI started using vim when I had first started to learn to program. I'd say give it a shot if for no other reason than it's an interesting paradigm shift, and can be really effective. I'd say give Vintage mode on sublime a shot. It does the basic keybindings/motions of vim and will give you an idea of whether or not you might be interested in it. It's also nice because in insert mode it's basically just normal sublime, so you can just switch back to that if you get frustrated. Are you on linux, osx, windows, or something else? If you use vim/vintage mode, remap capslock to be escape. This took me forever to figure out, for whatever reason, but if you're on windows, the easiest thing to do is get autohotkey [1] and write a script with one line: Capslock::Escape You can compile that to a portable binary and use it anywhere as well. It's really straight forward. I also added two keybindings to make Alt+movement to add cursors above and below: { "keys": ["alt+k"], "command": "select_lines", "args": {"forward": false} }, { "keys": ["alt+j"], "command": "select_lines", "args": {"forward": true} }, It doesn't always interact naturally with vintage/vim mode, though, but that was just a personal preference.
