I used vim to edit a config file here or there for four years of college. I always hated it. I just couldn't wrap my head around command vs insert mode. Since I never edited more than a few lines at a time, I never really learned it. I thought it was just a stupid idea. Then, about 9 months ago, it clicked. I started loving it. Now, you couldn't pry it from my cold, dead, Python editing fingers. (Although, I still contest that IDEA/Resharper are far superior for Java/C#)
- steve19 17y agodid any particular tutorial make it click for you?
- snprbob86 17y agoThis in my vimrc helped tons: map <down> <nop> map <left> <nop> map <right> <nop> map <up> <nop> But the big thing that really made it click was just that I used it for real work, not small quick editing tasks. You have to really live in the app for a while before it feels like home.
- steve19 17y agoLOL, nice.
