And where is neovim vs vim on here?

[–] expr@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago

vim is definitely cooler than neovim.

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago (3 children)

you can substitute vi and vim with anything you want!

Where my ed users at?

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 0 points 5 months ago

nobody is here

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Nano is all anyone should ever need.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 months ago (3 children)

And no one will call me a pervert for using emacs? O.o

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I can, if you want?

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 months ago

Thanks, I'm good. I can't even write LISP.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

PERVERT!!!

[–] notabot@piefed.social 0 points 5 months ago

Most of us are polite enough not to call you that publicly, but we're all thinking it really, really loudly.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 0 points 5 months ago

Okay.

I'll replace vi with fin and vim with mcedit.

... There's no one here. n_n

Why is fish so small? Is it a different fish?

Thanks for making VIM content

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

it's the mini-fish and mini-girl!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh I missed the mini prefix. We will evolve into micro-fish and micro-girl next

Techno-mage nano

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Less features. Just like vi

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I think you're cool for using vi I just couldn't make it to the desert meetup. I'm an antisocial loser

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I couldn't make it because I couldn't figire out how to exit my CLI editor.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 0 points 5 months ago

:O fin!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago (6 children)

What is the difference anyway between vi and vim?

[–] YerbaYerba@lemmy.zip 0 points 5 months ago

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 months ago

These days the vi command on your machine is almost definitely actually vim just running in a mode with limited features to emulate vi.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 5 months ago

yeah I did not feel they are very different and most of what I do in vim is like I use vi. I mean granted I do usually use vim.

[–] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 0 points 5 months ago

No visual mode (selections), you also can't immediately see the results of your changes - if you use the c$ command, for example, the rest of the line won't disappear.

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

about 20 years

[–] screwlisp@gamerplus.org 0 points 5 months ago

@pmjv
shouldn't I be there?
@phoenixz
VI doesn't have vimscript.

I would have come, but I was at the emacsconf and I lost track of time editing my config.

[–] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I like nano because it lists the keyboard commands on the screen where I can see them.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But there's only like five

[–] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

there are 10

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 0 points 4 months ago

There are more if you press the keyboard shortcut for "Help".

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago

I like nano because I don't have to learn shit to use it.

I dislike it because you can't do shit.

[–] Deno@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

True that!
