Linux434838yWhat the fuck is so hard about writing 2500 word essay? Is it just as simple as writing 2500 words, it is not hard.

@tahnik I use more than 2 commands but you can get by if you know how to save and close a file

Some programmers are just underground, you never get that much attention or understanding :D
-
If you only use two commands, you're not using the full potential.

For example, find replace all, very useful. -
Bruh, VIM is so great. Only lames use regular text editors... - Single-speed-bike-riding, flannel-shirt-wearing, soylent-drinking hipster.

@humanbonsai if it's a desktop computer, find the power cord and unplug it. If it's a laptop, a mallet or chainsaw comes in handy.

using vim with the right plugins is a time saver. if you are a Web developer gulp, browsersync and vim is a damn awesome combination. rebind esc to something closer like capslock. and it becomes really quick to build a site from scratch with two screens or even using workspaces.

@Ubbe yeah I think the only time I ever use capslock is for sql statements but I'm getting out of that habit. for a developer there's not alot of use for capslock. as for the tab problem, I was lucky and started programing after they redid the keyboards. I use i3, tmux, vim, and firefox with vimFx so I'll probably remap other keys as time goes on but esc was my most time consuming

I get by knowing the basics with Vim, it doesn't take much practice as you tend to do the same things a lot.
Best part is doing everything from the terminal.
