Thanks to your comment here, I realized that the thread on Hacker News exists. Pretty cool that something that I did a few years ago for fun now has sparked a discussion with 350+ comments ... even if not all of them are positive 😄
I have to admit that I currently barely use vim at all. If you find something useful in my config files, feel free to use it!
Being an emacs
user and just having the ability to have a more sane vi
option if/when need arises on servers and otherwise is nice. I have hated vi
for about 25 years now and your work @SebastianMuskalla and @tombh are a real blessing to have in the holster. (Not that I don't know commands already sufficiently to use vi[m] if needed, but I dislike it and have resisted learning more than very rudimentary functionality.) 😋
Exactly! It's been decades for me too, and while I definitely know enough vi
commands to get by, it's just not my thing. There are so many other nice things about, well nvim
for me, that are great. I'm a senior software engineer and am perfectly productive with just conventional keybindings 💪
I made a plugin for this too! https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode I've only just seen your project from the Hacker News thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39008533 I'm going to pore over your code and see where we can share ideas.
So glad to see there are other people out there with a similar view on Vim.
