Have you actually tried it?

Have you used `*` to pick the keyboard layout?

In Ki you don't have to know the name of the syntax node, you can just press `d m`, and the editor will show the labels of all the syntax node visible that you can jump to.

"Emacs is an editor" is as true as "Toyota Hilux is a gattling gun carrier"

TBH, it's actually not as hard as you think, most of the time, what I do is just select the whole syntax node and delete it, copy it, or replace it, and only 20% of the time would actually require deliberate understanding of how the AS

Sorry for derailing a bit, the search and replace using a query make sense for purly textual (non-syntactic) editing, but if you want to apply consistent syntactic modifications across multiple locations in the same file, you will need both

It's good at least in my case because I switch between Dvorak (Corne) and Qwerty (laptop's keyboard) all the time, without positional keymap, I would have to develop two sets of muscle memory

It's not generated by LLM, it was actually my idea, but grammar-corrected by LLM, but you are not wrong either, the docs are really subpar in a lot of ways, and not clearly explaining why is one of them, and of course, the potentially

Honestly they're just a bunch of data transformers plugged together to create the illusion of behaving like a human.

Do you mind sharing the Emacs package that does "tree based selection expanding" so I can better highlight their differences?
16.
by hou32hou 2y ago
Multi-cursor, yes; structural selection, not so much, they are more like an afterthought for most editors, there’s a big difference between being treated as first-class and second-class.

Thank you for trying! For character-based movement, simply press 'z' to enter the column mode. Regarding the built-in tutor, yes I really have to put in the effort, because it's so much harder than authoring documentation. An

I think it's significantly better, because you don't need to know the specific type of node you want to select. In Ki, you only need to use `s` for any syntax node, while in nvim-treesitter-textobject, you need to use `vaf` for fu

Selection modes are sticky, so it would be “w l l l l l”

That's true for some users certainly, but I guess most users will not know which 4 easy-to-access keybindings to downgrade in exchange for the 4 syntax navigation keys, if it were you which 4 default keybindings are you willing to sacr

by hou32hou 2y ago
To be frank it takes time to get used to, especially if you are already a Vim amateur. However, once you get the hang of it you will find that most common operations can be achieved within 3 keypresses. For example, to delete the current li

by hou32hou 2y ago
Ki is much inspired by Helix and Kakoune, however, it introduces an extra layer called the Selection Mode, with this, every movement is standardized to the same set of keybindings. Also, most importantly, syntactical selection/navigati

I will need help unfortunately because I don't have an accessible Windows machine. For the configuration I'm planning something crazier, I might use my programming language that I built earlier ( https://github.com/

Just `s` if your cursor is already placed on the first token of the function call node.

Nope because I’m not convinced by this language anymore

by hou32hou 6y ago
It won’t be delivered because it’s actually my final year project for my software engineering degree, and plus I’m also not convinced by this language anymore, I still think that there’s a better syntax which I can’t think of right now

No no we haven’t broke up yet

by hou32hou 6y ago
Yea it is indeed halted, because I’m still in search of a better syntax.
