The modes are what makes editing in Vim efficient.. you don't think Vim users are out here swapping through modes looking for the one that lets them paste a line do you?
- charcircuit 4y agoYes. Instead of just control + v they have to switch out of insert mode and into normal mode, then do a command to paste their clipboard, then have to do a command to go back to insert mode. It's overcomplicated.
- jonas-w 4y agoThey just press ctrl+alt+v in insert mode or if they are in normal mode they will press p.
- charcircuit 4y agoSee. There is to point to have normal mode if you can just do it in insert mode.
- throwaway_au_1 4y agoYou do not seem to have a grasp on Vim which qualifies you to assert that it is overcomplicated.
- charcircuit 4y agoI do have a grasp on Vim. Even if I didn't the fact you used the term grasp shows that it is overcomplicated. A text editor should have such good ui that one instantly grasps it.
