  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    how do you tolerate the 0 and $ to jump to the ends? it's so painfully inconvenient and made me switch to helix where it's g->h and g->l. do you not use the default keymap?

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago

    Shift-A and Shift-I to append at the end or insert at the start.

    Once you know the system, it's much easier to do everything without having to take your hands off the keyboard to use a mouse.

    you can change that if it bothers you

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

    yeah ik, I'm just curious about how people deal with it

    Most nvim users I know have their setup very much customized. That takes time, effort and is a pita. But afterwards you have a tool that just works like you want it to work, and is super fast (at least compared to VSCode).

    I don't understand why you compare it to vs code, it's not a text editor and besides, it has vim too?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

    They're both code/text editors, or what would you call VSCode instead? An IDE? you can make an IDE out of nvim if you want.

    Yes, there is a vim mode in VSCode, but in some cases it can be very slow (like editing a few thousand columns at once), and is not as tightly integrated.

    Muscle memory mostly. I miss vim keybinding when I have to type in anything else, including Lemmy.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    There's a CLI Lemmy app, no idea if it uses vim keys but it would surprise me if it wasn't an option.

    You could also do I or A followed by esc for the same effect.

    Most often though I use / or ? to just go specifically where I want.

    For me, it's that it is shorter to type 0. Also I cannot somehow recall 2 letter commands
