Try duckduckgo, type vim cheatcheat. Click expand. Be amazed

Why not just use :33 for go to line 33? Same number of keystrokes...

@arcsector why not 33g. No need to find the shift key

@RantSomeWhere same lol. I want to use it so much i have vim mode enabled basically everywhere i can

@b3b3 does 33g work in vi too?

@arcsector i don't think so

@b3b3 ah damn. I'll stick to :33 then; works in both.

nano is literally easier to use and doesn't have its own CLI used to do everything, nor do you have to switch to a mode to be able to type immediately after opening. This is just retarded...

@RantSomeWhere I can agree.

@Parzi except you're not always going to be on a box that has nano readily available, nor will you always have the access to install it, much less the ability to install it (see Solaris 7)

@arcsector yeah but vi/vim are still the default and still fucking dumb so i'd end up using echo commands and cat... or dd piping from stdin.

@Parzi I dont want to fucking relearn everything, vim is and stays my editor.

@Parzi alright dude calm down no need to get angry about reality

@Parzi I wouldn't call Vim unintuitive, It is very easy to understand. I tried to use nano once, I wasn't able to use it at all. In Vim, you can move like you're probably used to in graphical editors , you have instructions right on startup, you're ready to edit with one keystroke, It's just intuitive for me.

@TheOneFuzzyBit with nano, you have essential instructions (open, save, exit, cut, copy, paste, select text, copy from other file, full help, search, replace, justify, spellcheck, etc.) always on the bottom of the screen and are ready to edit with zero keystrokes.
