The only reason why I use Nano is so I can act like DankPods while saying it.
Na-no
na-no
Also; Don’t use vim.
Yeah, neovim is better
i haven’t tried it but I’m sick of ubuntu being years behind on vim versions, what’s good about neovim?
what’s good about neovim?
- NeoVim supports plugins written in modern languages without a Vim script shim. Vim script is utterly awful, and the sooner we can all pretend it never happened, the better the world will be.
- NeoVim can be confirmed and extended with
luaa language that many people actually like to use. - NeoVim is built client/server style, like VSCodium, so it can do the same remote/local mix and match tricks. Notably, VSCodium works nicely as a front end for editing files with NeoVim.
- NeoVim is somehow actually faster. vim was no slouch, but a full rewrite seems to have added some…ahem…vim.
😂
This, but Emacs
With evil installed
HELL naw
Might as well just use Vim then
Org-mode in Emacs is the best though. That is why i use Emacs with Evil.
This, but Emacs
Nooo not the pinky ! :(
(setq evil-mode 'pinky)
If you don’t like Vim, you should stop being a milk-drinking sweetroll-eating WUSS
But I love both vim and milk 🥺🥺🥺
HARDER!
Once you try Vim you will never use another text editor. Or any other program for that matter because you won’t be able to exit.
What are you running MS-DOS? laughs in multi-tasking.
I just drag my vi terminals to another workspace and launch a new editor.
Emacs
I also had that experience with emacs, which has a built in help system. I couldn’t find a topic on ‘exit’ or ‘quit’ and refused to just search online.
Took me half an hour.
I’m editor bilingual but im a bit rusty in Emacs, so skill check: its C-x C-c right?
Yes. Though I believe it only kills the current frame if there are multiple
No, I think that exits. C-c k kills the buffer, C-x 0 (zero) will kill the frame. But I may have changed my binds and can never remember which is window and which is frame in emacs terms.
However, it’s somewhat moot as just about everywhere you run emacs, it’ll open up in gui mode and you can use the file menu. (Or use F10 to bring up the menus in terminal, but I have no idea where on the manual it would say that)
Ctrl + meta + butterfly
and refused to just search online
Unless you were f*cked by your ISP as I am right now, that’s having some balls. Or being masochist. But nothing in between
I really didn’t want to let it win.

What about notepad++ under wine?
I’m trying… I’m trying real hard to be the shepherd ringo.
Notepadqq is basically an exact clone of Notepad++ but native on Linux.
I used it for a good while before recently switching to Kate.
Haven’t heard about Notepadqq. How different is it from Kate?
Pretty much just a different GUI, If you ever used Notepad++ it’s the same as that.
No, I don’t want to! 😫
nano just works for me man
I liked Micro just a little bit more than Nano
I tried Micro and I found that its just Nano with a better interface and much easier to use. Its great actually but I like the vim movements.
first time hearing about it gota give it a try
Getting used to vim has made nano unusable for me. The muscle memory is too strong. That and all of the regex and plugin features (ex. LSP) are just too useful.
Only a Vim user can call RegEx an advantage
I use macros to solve most of the same problems. You just on-the-fly record a sequence of regular vim commands that you can then replay as many times as you need. Great for formatting a bunch of data without having to deal with the misery of regex
Also a good choice. Just never had the need since I knew a bit of regex before learning vim.
I had the same experience. Nano is great if you’re used to notepad or a generic, limited text editor.
Once you learn a terminal editor like eMacs or vim, why go back? So much less hand motion going to mouse, arrows, and back.
May I introduce you to our Savior Helix?
Helix <3
Yeah hx. It was hx that finally made me use vi style navigation and now I choose vim over nano almost always.
I’m halfway between hx and vim, I vastly prefer the helix/kakoune philosophy of selection, then action over vim, but I’m dearly missing plug-in support for Helix
I was going to point to visual.nvim as a possible middle ground, but it’s now archived :(
Disclaimer: I haven’t actually tested it myself
I’m just gonna be patient. Vanilla Helix is very much usable for everything I need it for at the moment, with built in LSP support, and plug-in support is on the horizon. Not sure when exactly, but it’s gonna happen eventually
Yeah I’m with you there, vanilla helix meets basically 90% of my needs so I’m not in any real rush to change
vanilla helix is so nice, the keybindings make so much more sense and it feels really comfortable
ed is the standard text editor.
Genuinely took most of my notes in college on vim, when you get good it’s just faster.
I’m sure someone already made a graph plotting the hours wasted learning vs the seconds gained not moving your mouse.
This. If it was your sole tool for daily tasks it makes sense, once a month to edit a config file…not so much.
When I started working we had HP Unix Silicon Graphics systems, VI was our only text editor…so I have some commands as muscle memory. The rest of commands I open my tractor feed help printout from 30 years ago
Nice.
I’ve been using Vim daily for about 20 years, it saves me 30 minutes at a time regularly.
I’m approaching break-even on the learning curve!
I’m kidding…mostly.
I’ll stick with my trusty Emacs (and Zile)
emacs is a fantastic operating system, but it lacks a good editor.
