Sorry, emacs user here... I just wanted to say that adjusting muscular memory can go faster than you expect. I learnt how to use emacs a couple of months ago, and have recently noticed the tendency to do ctrl-x + ctrl-s to save, or ctrl-y to paste, even when not in emacs ;-) The latter can be a bit annoying, but learning emacs was such a big plus that I don't mind much.
The article on vim sounds interesting, I tried and gave up learning it some time back, I should definitely revisit it again.
- shmerl 11y agoI don't mean you can't adjust muscular memory - you can. But when behavior is inconsistent (like pasting I described above), you need to switch it each time you use something that's not vim. For me it's not about what key combination to press - that's not as hard to switch, but more about what behavior to expect from the action "paste" and etc.
