Actually I think the strongest defenders of emacs say you use C-s and the like for most navigation. Moving character-by-character is slow and inefficient, so the argument about whether C-n C-p etc. are better or worse than hjkl is irrelevant.
I have my own code editor which is more like vi than emacs, but I'm using interactive search in it.
- jessaustin 12y agoI have my own code editor... That's the best line I've heard to finish an emacs-vs-vi argument!
- aaronem 12y agoWell, sure, if by "finish" you mean "unite emacs partisans and vi aficionados in mutual and vaguely contemptuous pity".
- markrages 12y agoYes! C-s navigation, once learned, is the thing I miss most from other editors.
- acomjean 12y agoAgreed. Don't forget C-r too.
