Stack Overflow: Helping One Million Developers Exit Vim https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/05/... ;)

Told 2 of my classmates that i use vim and urged them to try it. Apparently, I am an ideal housewife now..#india

Good news: Learning to use Vim was tough as fuck but worth it. I've been on it for a week and not having to use a mouse for text editing anymore just naturally makes more sense.
Bad news: Nothing. Else. Has. Vim. I am going to be spending hours figruing out how to get this to work in MS Office online and Firefox to keep my workflow the same.
P.S. devRant should have a Vim option. Make it a perk for supporters. :)

Disabled fucking arrows keys in vim. Life is hell now.
I will be posting a lot more rants from now on as I am learning vim so bear with me.

Actual conversation:
- Vim has weird commands. For instance, you copy by typing "Y".
- Why?
- Correct.3 -
Vim users: You're the vegans of the programming world. No one cares that you use Vim.
Emacs users: You're to Vim users what vegetarians are to vegans.
Now, I'm not saying Vim is bad, or even that all Vim users are like that. I just roll my eyes every time I see someone bragging about how they use Vim.
If you wanna use Vim, use Vim. Just don't act like it makes you a superior coder.13 -
Vim users be like : "It took me 3 months to learn how to actually use Vim and I'm am totally gonna brag about it".9

My typical development workflow:
$ ssh user@devserver
$ cd /appdir
$ git clone/pull
$ vim file
$ vim another file
$ tail -f /var/log/applog
$ vim file
$ git commit -am 'fixed the glitch'
$ git push origin dev

Ive never really used vim, and therefore not completely understood all the jokes about it..
Yesterday, i somehow ended up editing my crontab with vim.
I have no idea how i managed to quit it, but something worked.
NOTE: No hardware was damaged in the process9 -
During highschool years I was using Ubuntu for the 1st time and saw this strange looking icon named vim....had to reboot PC to close vim 😅
Not my proudest moment.5 -
To my ex-coworkers who used to tease me about using Vim although I never bragged or even talked about it to any of them, GO FUCK YOURSELVES.5

Ladies and gentlemen.
Back in 2009 when I started coding, some dickhead told me to not learn Vim because professional developers normally use IDEs for shit instead of text editors.
Being the kind of person that I am, I shrugged him off as the cocksucker that he was and decided to learn Vim anyway.
Fast forward to 2015 up to 2018

At work. For fucking everything since it is what you have when you ssh into a server and lemme tell ya this:
I you guys thought being a Vim master ain't dropping no one's panties....boy u wrong af.
And nano is fine too, but why settle for less when you can be a complete vim black wizard?38 -
4 stages of using VIM:
1. Survive
2. Fell Comfortable
3. Feel Better, Stronger, Faster
4. Use Super-powers of VIM6 -

Been googling and found nothing that's actually understandable19 -
After using so much VIM and VIM key binds in other IDEs, a piece of me dies every time I have to code without them.
Am I the only one?4 -
When your vim using college keeps on telling you to start using vim. EVERY DAY for the last two weeks..12

I am taking the plunge and making Vim my exclusive editor.
Suggestions for running Vim (gVim) on Windows?7 -

I still didn't manage to close vim but I dont wan't to close my terminal.
Guess I'll accept my new buddy on my screen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯3 -
Ive never used vim. In my life. I've never had the need to.
It was only yesterday while I was installing a new relic plugin to my MySQL server when the plugin installed opened vim for me to add some configurations. Took me about a minute to add the configs, and another 20 minutes to figure out how to quit vim.
Gotta say that I'm more comfortable making HTML websites with pretty CSS animations in sublime text than working in VIM!!! 👀6 -
Is it worth to learn vim? I mostly write code in JS and currently using VSCode so I wonder if it is worth spending the time to learn how to properly use vim17

I am new to this "vim" thing, should I use the "original" or am I making sins by using vim emulation on VS code ?5 -
Finally learning vim after a few years of absolute refusal.
echo export EDITOR="vim" >> ~/.bashrc18 -
So one of my coworkers is making a tutorial on how to use a terminal, and he has a section on exiting vim, he must be a god, he can exit vim 😂

I started using vim today
Not sure if I'm gonna ditch GUI IDEs and editors completely, but I think I'll try using only vim for a day or two, see how it goes9 -
I was pressing 'j' in vim and it was typing 'j' onto the screen and i was like what the fuck, why is typing j inserting a j into my file. Realised i was accidentally in insert mode.

My company provides license for Intellij IDEA Ultimate but I've customised my Vim for development according to my convenience so I use Vim instead.
Except for changing variable names across multiple files. IDEA's refactoring is the only thing I am using IDEA for.6 -
"How to exit the Vim editor?" hit 1,000,000 view milestone and a stackoverflow guy wrote a blog article about it with some neat facts. A good read imho.
https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/05/...2 -
Wish installing a Vim plugin were as simple as installing an Npm package. Yet another time when I try to learn Vim. :|4
-
Can someone please tell GitHub to add Vim mode? I'm tired of filling my comments with Vim navigation sequences only to have to correct them with a mouse...

A while ago I saw a post about a website that gamefied the learning of vim. Anyone know what it is called?1 -
I noticed Facebook allowed vim keys navigation, I didn't realise this until I had scrolled through at least half a dozen posts.3
-
Let's say we use vim because every "cool" developer says they use it. But in reality, we barely know how to exit it.1
-
Question to people who use vim as their main editor:
I want to use vim as my main editor and I setup a color scheme. This only looked the way it should in gvim but looked weird in vim. I have read online that this is because of the limited color support of terminals.
So the question: do you use gvim or how do you handle color schemes in vim?4 -
Are people using Vim doing it for the sake of it? Is there such a thing as a Vim hipster?
I mean, nano is just nicer 😇15 -
Vim is fun to learn. Now when I git merge I'll be in a familiar program instead of a hellish prison.

Pressing ESC at the end of the line so that the modal in the browser closes and I have to write everything again.

I did it! I learnt vim!
...
Oh wait, how do you exit again?
This is how it feels with me and vim, every time I think I know it, it turns out there's a whole batch of shortcuts I had no idea existed :"(5 -
I LOST FAITH IN HUMANITY!
searched vim on ddg, found porn. Fuck me.
Looks like there’s no exception to the “3 letters rule”5 -
Is it worth trying to learn vim? I know the basics (like how to quit), but wasn't sure if it was worth the time.6
-
I just discover vim-anywhere and tmux at the same time.
It's mind blowing!
Every time I was changing something on my website over SSH I have to go out for a few minutes and I have a TimeOut.
Vim-anywhere does not need any comments.

Me : mahn, I'm not able to setup pythn bindings for vim
Friend ( who is tired of me saying about vim ): go get a life
Me: sodo apt-get life
Me: looks like the package is not available, what is the exact name?6 -
The best thing about getting used to vim is typing something in a website, finishing it, pressing ctrl+[ losing what you have just typed and re writring it.
-
Im trying to learn vim in my spare time. Obviously, I am fumbling around and am nowhere near as productive coding than in the IDEs im used to.
For you vim masters put there, how long do you think it will be before I would be productive enough to use it as my main editor, assuming primarily learning in my free time outside of work?6 -
What are some cool plugins, color-schemes, whatever else for vim/nvim?
Current setup is nvim + Plug + YouCompleteMe + UltiSnips1 -
Providing a vim mode should be a mandatory thing for any text editor. It just makes life so simple!

Are here Vim users using the dvorak layout?
I am thinking of learning (programmer) dvorak but I am way to comfortable with Vim. I think Vim itself would not even be my primary concern since one should not use HJKL anyway. But I also have these bindings for switching tmux panes, vim splits and windows in i3, etc .
I think Dvorak would be a great opportunity to finally learn touch typing but I fear that Vim is not compatible with it.
So what is your experience with these two? Does it work? Is it worth it?2 -
Good resourced to learn to use vim? I want change from atom but every time I try I get frustrated. I only know basic vim.5
-
Anyone used the vim plugin for VS Code? Thoughts on this and how much it differs from 'standalone' vim?1
-
Now that I know I can plug vim emulators into most of the IDEs, the idea of mastering the keyboard flow seems a lot more viable.1
-
Anyone who uses vim + tmux? Did you remap the tmux keys to vim keys? How have you configured the keys to control tmux and get an efficient workflow?6
-
I try to get into vim /neovim
Any useful vim dotfiles repos so that i dont have to configure all on my own?5 -
I wanted to change my username, and them nobody was named vim...
Had to use -vim- because you need at least 4 chars1 -
Really want to learn VIM, anyone know vim? Also any tutorials out there to make the process less painful?14
