Superficially, typing + seems to be the same as typing , but these are two completely different paradigms of using the editor.

Vim does not use shortcuts or hotkeys to edit the text, it uses a language to communicate with the editor.

For me, shortcuts and hotkeys are rote memorization, and I'm bad at rote memorization – compare your point "5. Ctrl-{ or } does this I think". Do I need Ctrl-left, Super-left, Alt-left, Shift-left or Ctrl-Shift-left to jump back a word?

The vim editing language is mostly consistent and logical. I did not need to memorize it, I could learn and understand it. But that's just me.

Far too much examples:

Most commands are abbreviations – a for append, b for back, c for change, d for delete, e for end of word, f for forward, g for goto (and more), hjkl are special, i for insert, m for mark, n for next, o for open line, p for paste, q for reqord macro is a strange spelling, r for replace, s for substitute, t for to, u for undo, v for visual mode, w for word, x for extinguish, y for yank, z is just a prefix for arcane stuff. Capital letters are usually variants of their minuscle counterpart – like A for append at end of line.

Commands take a repeat count, and a lot of commands take objects/movements, and these reuse the commands, like "delete inside backticks" => di`, "yank inside brackets" => yi{, "change up to third slash" => c3t/

If you are fluent in vim, you won't type shortcuts while editing, you will talk to your editor.

As for more compelling examples:

"I'd like to change the next 2 sentences" translates to )c2)

"Please format this paragraph." translates to gqap

"Swap these two characters." translates to xp

And I did not touch ex mode, vimscript and plugins yet.

"Bare Metal Linux". I like it!

The new chips are so powerful that most emulated apps will no longer feel emulated, which was a big hurdle for Windows on Arm to overcome.

So probably they've got an x86_64 emulator on board to be able to run non-native programs.

If I was prone to conspiracy theories, I'd think they plan to switch entirely to ARM and drop x86_64 support for Windows 14 in order to create a walled garden.

Actually no. A transsternal access to the heart is impossible with stone tools, even obsidian. Middle american ritual sacrifices were performed transphrenic – they had less problems with the complications of that access as they didn't intend their victim to survive, in contrast to — most — modern surgeons.

The Danish–Canadian Whisky War. It's the only war I'm sad that it ended. Well, on the other hand, We've got a land border with Canada now.

  • As before but also scan your receipts, and add the info on each receipt to the form. Can done easily via an app, which handily (sometimes correctly) can autofill the needed info. You can do this at any point in time, so you can do it whenever you get a deductible receipt.

I'm so envious!

Outies and innies? I like that!

Nope – feddit.de wrecked image storage & upload pretty thoroughly. I should probably spread my presence over the fediverse.

Good to know. Thank you for the opportunity to spill useless knowledge.

By the way, did you know that before laurentian mammalian carnivores made it to South America, three meter high terror birds were the apex predators there?

And that, birds being therapods and there existing more bird species than mammsluan species, the Age of Dinosaurs is actually still ungoing?

If the lecturer hasn't got the notice books can be cheaply printed and purchased nowadays, probably yes. What is this digital your speeking of?

 

"Draschen" bedeutet heftiges regnen – mindestens so heftig, das man ein andauerndes Regengeräusch hört.

Laut Duden ist es ostmitteldeutsch – aber wie weit ist es verbreitet? Sicher in Franken, aber wie ist es in der Pfalz, Hessen, Baden, Bayern, Thüringen, Sachsen? Wo kennt man draschenden Regen?

 
 
 

Context: I'm missing a cutting board. So I wrote in our telegram family group: "Wo ist eigentlich unser zweites großes Schneidebrett hin?" (literally: "Where is actually our second big cuttingboard thither?").

By using the modal particle "eigentlich" I insinuate that something is oddly off and express an emotional state of curiousity and/or mild discontent.

By adding "hin", I notify that I ask because it is not where it is supposed to be and not because I don't know where it should be.

Now I ask myself, how would I express this additional information in English?


Edit: Thank you all for your answers! I learned a lot. Just our cutting board is still gone, and probably enjoying it's freedom somewhere ... I suppose.

 

A lot of bacteria, including those which cause tooth decay, will die if they absorb xylose, which they will happily do due to xylose's resemblance of glucose, their favourite food.

Xylose is non toxic to humans and used as a calory-reduced sweetener (we're only able to get ~half of the calories off it compared to glucose).

So, snacking on half a teaspoon of sweet xylose after brushing your teeth might feel strange at first (like snacking on pure sugar), but you'll enjoy clean teeth far longer! Until your next encouter with "real" sugar.
