Merry Christmas! Finally got my 60% keyboard, so it's time to get back to practicing nvim. Already getting better at using hjkl since I don't have any arrow keys.

Only thing that's a bit of a bummer is the ~ key is Shift + Fn + Esc. Oh well, I only use that one maybe a few times a day anyways especially since the only Linux I use is WSL.

    On my site there's a mini application that teaches you sixty shortcuts in record time. It's made to teach fast. It only exists if you did all combinations without errors and will keep repeating the ones you did wrong. The questions are in random error and random values are used to keep it fun a bit. Don't expect much of that app, but I can assure you, it will make you a ninja in a few days or week that normally would take months,

    Anyway, if I had to chose between vim or vscode, it would be vscode. VIM is nice and cool, but for real project development, vscode is for me a more rational choice. Only became VIM ninja because: I only had a netbook for a while for a period and during that time I also wrote that study application. Also, vimtutor is a nice one to check first.

    Edit: wow, no arrow keys. That's really hardcore. Not for me :P The real elite uses Ed. Unix is made in that. It's a line editor. Still available on your linux distro. Try to exit it.

    How about getting yourself a Christmas present? It could be anything, really. Especially a new 100% keyboard.

    Just some food for thought ;)

    Serious question:
    Why would you want a 60% keyboard?

    @Lensflare at first it was just to force myself to learn nvim the right way but after a day of using it, I’ve discovered it’s actually very satisfying using a keyboard without any bulk. I feel more in control of it somehow.
