If I can get a dollar everytime I see this posted…

theFibonacciEffect OP ,

I don’t understand why you hate seeing the same meme twice. Also I don’t think I ever saw it on lemmy. I don’t think it’s a meme that’s reposted all over, because I haven’t seen it on Reddit either and only saw it for the first time when specifically searching for vim memes. If I see a meme more than once and it’s a good meme, I enjoy it. Why do you not do the same?

It’s only like that when you’ve learned them recently. Now I need to learn Rust. You also have to remember a ton of shortcuts in many GUI editors.

calzone_gigante ,

That’s why i like command pallets. Just fuzzy search the command, and if you do the action a lot bind a key combination.

That meme’s been on the front page every day for the last week. Did karma farming bots make their way here?

There’s just not a lot of content lol

ceuk ,

This is still my favourite vim-related meme. So fucking funny

lolgcat ,

This is the best vim meme I’ve ever seen. I’m dead

Bonifratz ,

I have no idea what this is about but I love the meme template.

MajorHavoc ,

You may enjoy Vim Adventures to get some context - and it’s pretty fun. It teaches the wild and powerful keybindings for the Vim text editor, but in the form of an online typing game.

CannotSleep420 ,

That game helped me a lot. It’s a shame you can only use it for 6 months after paying for it.

TopRamenBinLaden ,

Vim Adventures is cool, but you can’t get very far into it without a subscription. PacVim is free and also effective at teaching some Vim commands.

MajorHavoc ,

That’s awesome! Thanks!

Vim is a text editor that works in a command line and therefore doesn’t require a graphical interface or windowing system, or anything like a mouse or trackpad or touch interface. It has a whole system of using the keyboard to do a bunch of things really efficiently, but the user has to actively go and learn those keyboard shortcuts, and almost an entire language of how to move the cursor around and edit stuff. It’s great once you learn it, so it creates a certain type of evangelist who tries to spread the word.

This meme template is perfect, because the vim user really did learn a bunch of stuff, and then wants to try to convince other people to do the same, using a pretty unpersuasive rationale (not using a mouse while programming).

Had this been emacs it would have been funny. But with Vim you don’t remember key bindings. Vim has operations and motions. Few od each and they are combined.

No, not really. People say that Emacs is self-documenting for a reason. You only need to remember how to ask Emacs for information, whatever that information may be. Commands, key bindings, manuals, etc.

I prefer the version of this meme where he tries to :q! the conversation by saying it

JSON is the worst name to use in this comic since it fits right in there.

Speaking of, can anyone recommend an AutoHotKey alternative for Linux on Wayland?

muix ,

ydotool

HiddenLayer5 ,

Thank you!

finestnothing ,

There’s also autokey, similar to autohotkey but with Python. I haven’t had to use it for much but I didn’t have any issues when I used it for some RuneScape autogrinding

neveraskedforthis ,

I juat use Plasma’s custom shortcuts, works really well.

RIP Bram Moolenaar

bungle_in_the_jungle ,

I laughed way too hard at this 😂

LostDeer ,

This feels like me, especially when I have six different splits in a full screen terminal screen between vim and tmux and someone asks how I’m doing that.

SaltyIceteaMaker ,

“How are you doing this?”

“Yes”

Ricaz ,

I work primarily in tmux and even in an IT department, people regularly say something along the lines of “woah are you hacking?”

sLLiK ,

At times, I’ve also juggled (in addition to vim and tmux) hotkeys for my current tiling WM of choice and extra hotkeys to swap between machines via barrier. I’m not sure how I’m able remember what I had for breakfast, much less someone’s name.

TheOhNoNotAgain ,

Not a don’t know how to exit vim joke? Refreshing!

I didn’t think that kind of joke would ever :q

100% agree. Emacs macros take much more space.

wewbull ,

…but we have org-mode so we can take notes about things like friends and family.

sLLiK ,

Vim/Neovim has orgmode too, these days 🤪

MajorHavoc ,

I felt a pang of regret in reading this - about the grain of truth for it in my life.

I’ve filed that pang of regret in an appropriate text file for consideration later.
