I switched to Vim because my left pinky was getting numb, *(thanks vim!) and then to Sublime, and now, Atom, for aesthetic reasons, really. Easier to read, I don't wanna wind up needing glasses. I'm still using the vim packages though.
- pmoriarty 12y agoYou don't have to abandon vim just because of pinky strain. You could just remap jj or jk to ESC.
- judk 12y agoParent was saying they left emacs for pinky strain. How can you use regular letters in place of ESC in vim? How would you type "Dijkstra"?
- pmoriarty 12y agoJust type jk slowly. Also see [1]: :help timeoutlen and :help ttimeoutlen [1] - http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#%27timeoutlen%27 http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#%27timeou...
- isbadawi 12y agoAlternatively, you can type jjkak (insert a j, exit insert mode with cursor on the j, enter insert mode one character to the right, insert a k).

- rbonvall 12y agoJust like in the shell, anything prepended with Control+V will be input literally, so you can type Dij<C-v>kstra.
- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoYeah, man. That shit freaked me out real bad. I also started eating salads and stopped hunching so much at the monitor.
