I started using this because my favorite editor (micro) has very poor syntax highlighting for ruby. It's a very specific use case but it's quite nice and I'm considering switching to modeless vim
- behnamoh 3y agoYou claim that you forget Vim keybindings, but then you have this on your about page: email: echo soaper.:.disroot.:.org | sed 's/.:./@/; s/.:././'
- nerdponx 3y agoWe all have limited capacity to learn stuff. If I didn't already know Vim, there's very little chance I'd have the motivation/time/energy to learn it for the first time now.
- GavinMcG 3y agoWhat’s that have to do with Vim keybindings in particular?
- behnamoh 3y agoI was just saying that if one can remember sed syntax, Vim's should be easy to follow.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoYou don't need to memorize the syntax to have a script.
- wharvle 3y agoNo joke: I wouldn’t have a programming career if remembering syntax were a requirement.
- pasc1878 3y agoThe author might just have copied that sed expression form someone else. Or looked it up once and probably now forgotten it. Also regex expressions are not vi expresions and have wider applications so author might use them regularly. So nothing here suggest that the author can remember vi.
- mtillman 3y agoWhy not just use an editor that’s really good at it then? Given you don’t prioritize portability.
