Funny story. After you start you can’t go back. What is a nano?
Nano >>> vim
Is there any playlist that wouldn’t be improved by adding Cat by C418 at the end?
there aren’t.
& most people don’t even know what/ who C418 is…
He was that guy working on the music for that 0x10c game, right?
Haven’t heard of 0x10c since 2012. Shame it was canceled, I love Elite and would love more games in its niche
I’ve found Ostranauts recently, and it’s really fun and I feel has some of the same vibes. Not even close to the same though, being able to program your own systems that you put together. I still sometimes think about what 0x10c could have been. I’ve considered doing something similar myself, but I haven’t gotten around to it. Maybe someday something similar will exist.
Pour one out for 0x10c
Cat by C418 is literally the only piece in the list I recognize.

Less is more, or rather, more is less
less really is more with more features. and more IS less with less features
easy mnemonic to quit vim: imagine you’re captain Picard in the middle of typing “:3” when Q shows up
Or, hear me out, : because you’re doing a command, and then q for quit. Probably make it wq too, to write and quit
did you know there is a vim tutor for learning how to vim?
vimtutor, which I believe is installed with vim by default
Edit: My brain apparently inserted an extra word that made it seem like you were seeking said program. Leaving it though for those wondering in the future.
No, that doesn’t make any sense. We need something convoluted so that people don’t remember it next time it’s needed.
Tell that to my history teacher…
Forgot
Escape first, because it wants to keep you inside the matrix and you need to tell it you are trying to escape
q!
Because you probably don’t want to save whatever you’ve accidentally done to that file trying to quit, and you have to add an exclamation point because unless you yell loudly at vim it won’t listen
That’s one too many letters. Need to use x for maximum efficiency gains.
Sudo visudo is always a struggle
Nano ftw
And micro for the future
I’m too used to nano, switching for micro for a while I was constantly using nano key combos and making a mess of things.
Stockholm syndrome from key combos lol
Makes sense, though you can rebind shortcuts in micro
https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/blob/master/runtime/help/keybindings.md
It would just be a bit funny since sensible keybindings was one of the reasons I originally switched. Turns out I had already used nano too long for me to actually want that feature hah.
Haha very true, if micro was the default, many people coming from common GUI apps would be like “okay, ctrl z to undo” and “ctrl s to save” “wow, it actually worked”
Absolutely. It would make sense as the default instead of nano (or vim of all things). Would help those who are just starting with Linux.
Def! I sort of wish the RFC committee would push standards for smart cross-platform shortcuts. Of course people with muscle memory in a different standard should be able to change for their usage, but even GUI apps like vscode, sublime text, IntelliJ, etc could benefit from standardization there
Nano has supported Ctrl+S to save for a while.
I have a few more suggestions:

- Travis Scott - LOST FOREVER
- Travis Scott - Impossible
Pull the plug - Death
Someone finally exited vim
It’s really not that hard v.v Caring to learn all’ the shenans, that’s the hard part. Same goes for Emacs. Archaic interfaces for the sake of archaism or “cool cred,” I say 🤷
Edit: Also haha the joke is funny :P
Why do you want to exit? Just
:terminalRIP to people who never shutdown or restart their PCs
Just because this is a vim meme, does anyone know how to copy text from one instance of vim to the other?
Just use a single instance of Emacs to edit everything everywhere all at once. You can even use vim keybindings if you have no taste.
Emacs is more for devs though, yeah? I’m just a lowly sysadmin in training.
I think Vim is more popular with sysadmins because, historically, you could count on Vi or Vim being available on just about any server you had to do some work on, while Emacs might not be. That’s still probably somewhat true, although in the world of clouds, containers, and source-controlled, reproducible configuration, it’s probably less common to edit files in place on a server.
However, with Emacs tramp, you can edit files just about anywhere you can access, by any means, even if there is no editor installed there at all, using your local Emacs, with all your accustomed configuration. Like popping open a file inside a container running on a remote server by ssh, something I’ve done a lot of lately, debugging services running on AWS ECS.
I think you can just use y and p
Copy the text to a local clipboard, then paste it into your terminal in the other instance
IDK I only use vim over ssh
Instance of Vim? Swap buffers fool
Would this work if one of those instances was in a VM?
Fuck it, use neovim and copy to the system clipboard.
Install xclip then press "+y (double-quote plus-sign y) to yank to system clipboard then "+p to put from sys clipboard
You can yank text to system clipboard buffer ie +. Then paste from the clipboard to any other vim process.
Keep in mind you should have clipboard support in your vim. If you’re on ubuntu, install vim-gtk and you should be good
Nuka Cola is better
