Decided to go hardcore Vim in 2018.

Exiting Vim!!

I code using Vim to avoid memory leaks.
Nothing leaks outside Vim. Nothing ever leaves.

Loving i3 & vim for my dev enviroment

I have done it, I crashed Vim. 16 GB wordlist for password cracking

Vim ftw ❤

Any vim lover here? 😁
And How's your weekend?

Time to learn Vim

How I learn how to use VIM

If a new drug would be called VIM, noone would be able to quit

Told 2 of my classmates that i use vim and urged them to try it. Apparently, I am an ideal housewife now..#india

Vim.
Three letters that strike fear in the hearts of millions.

Good news: Learning to use Vim was tough as fuck but worth it. I've been on it for a week and not having to use a mouse for text editing anymore just naturally makes more sense.

Bad news: Nothing. Else. Has. Vim. I am going to be spending hours figruing out how to get this to work in MS Office online and Firefox to keep my workflow the same.

P.S. devRant should have a Vim option. Make it a perk for supporters. :)

alias vim="shutdown -r now"

Disabled fucking arrows keys in vim. Life is hell now.

I will be posting a lot more rants from now on as I am learning vim so bear with me.

Actual conversation:
- Vim has weird commands. For instance, you copy by typing "Y".
- Why?
- Correct.

Yet another vim meme

And now we have a guide for exit Vim

Vim for Frontend Development

Switching between Vim and atom, ":wq" sometimes finds itself in my scripts 😅

Step 1: Install Vim
Step 2: Realize that Vim is useless
Step 3: Uninstall Vim

Stack overflow is helping 1,000,000 developers (or kind of developers) how to exit vim.
lol :)

Why the fuck am I trying to learn vim 😭 This is just brutal.

Shakespeare Quote of the Day:
"Exit vim or die trying."

When you use vim so much you try to scroll down a browser with "j"

Vim is apparently the third-hardest habit to break

Accidentally using :w everywhere because you're used to it. Just vim things.

VIM is a dream.

Attempting to learn vim this weekend.

A stress ball may come in handy.

Tries to close vim
- formats disk
- breaks time
- ruptures the very Fabric of Reality

Vim users: You're the vegans of the programming world. No one cares that you use Vim.

Emacs users: You're to Vim users what vegetarians are to vegans.

Now, I'm not saying Vim is bad, or even that all Vim users are like that. I just roll my eyes every time I see someone bragging about how they use Vim.

If you wanna use Vim, use Vim. Just don't act like it makes you a superior coder.

Vim users be like : "It took me 3 months to learn how to actually use Vim and I'm am totally gonna brag about it".

My typical development workflow:

$ ssh user@devserver
$ cd /appdir
$ git clone/pull
$ vim file
$ vim another file
$ tail -f /var/log/applog
$ vim file
$ git commit -am 'fixed the glitch'
$ git push origin dev
^D

I even use vim to write my rants!

Best way to learn vim

Ive never really used vim, and therefore not completely understood all the jokes about it..
Yesterday, i somehow ended up editing my crontab with vim.
I have no idea how i managed to quit it, but something worked.

NOTE: No hardware was damaged in the process

How do you know whether a person is a Vim user? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

Vim is love, Vim is life 😂

Just kidding, I love Vim

During highschool years I was using Ubuntu for the 1st time and saw this strange looking icon named vim....had to reboot PC to close vim 😅
Not my proudest moment.

Every non Vim users ( or Emacs!)

VIM + CAPS LOCK

FUCKING RAAAAAGGGGEEE

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Who else finds themselves typing esc + :wq in there IDE after using vim for a while.

To my ex-coworkers who used to tease me about using Vim although I never bragged or even talked about it to any of them, GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

Quitting vim

Robin can't use Vim...

Vim vs emacs

Ladies and gentlemen.

Back in 2009 when I started coding, some dickhead told me to not learn Vim because professional developers normally use IDEs for shit instead of text editors.

Being the kind of person that I am, I shrugged him off as the cocksucker that he was and decided to learn Vim anyway.

Fast forward to 2015 up to 2018

I

That
Bitch
Religiously

At work. For fucking everything since it is what you have when you ssh into a server and lemme tell ya this:

I you guys thought being a Vim master ain't dropping no one's panties....boy u wrong af.

And nano is fine too, but why settle for less when you can be a complete vim black wizard?

Oh man, vim is quite nice.

Exit vim ...

My ideal dev job would be one where I don't get chewed out for using vim.

Learning VIM, wish me luck
:w

4 stages of using VIM:

1. Survive
2. Fell Comfortable
3. Feel Better, Stronger, Faster
4. Use Super-powers of VIM

behold ze VIM

Almost the end of 2016 and I'm still stuck in vim...

Vim is a dream come true. That is all.

Britain just found out how to exit from Vim.. 😁

Vim forever

anyone else use nano over vim?

Can anyone show me a good place to learn how to use vim?

Been googling and found nothing that's actually understandable

After using so much VIM and VIM key binds in other IDEs, a piece of me dies every time I have to code without them.
Am I the only one?

If you guys are keen on learning VIM, try searching vim adventures on google. Pretty cool site.

unpopular opinion: vim is very easy to exit

Vim is king

Is exiting vim so hard?

finally, managed to learn moving in vim with hjkl instead of arrow keys.

Junior trying to close vim:

My first vim experience resulted in a vps reboot. Haven't used it again since.

VIm vs emacs

I've been called a hippie for using Vim...

When your vim using college keeps on telling you to start using vim. EVERY DAY for the last two weeks..

I still like VIM

I am taking the plunge and making Vim my exclusive editor.

Suggestions for running Vim (gVim) on Windows?

Did anyone know shift+zz is also a way to exit vim other than :wq

Day 653

I still didn't manage to close vim but I dont wan't to close my terminal.
Guess I'll accept my new buddy on my screen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

!rant

I am new to this "vim" thing, should I use the "original" or am I making sins by using vim emulation on VS code ?

I really don't understand these quit vim memes, i got it right the first time...

Ive never used vim. In my life. I've never had the need to.

It was only yesterday while I was installing a new relic plugin to my MySQL server when the plugin installed opened vim for me to add some configurations. Took me about a minute to add the configs, and another 20 minutes to figure out how to quit vim.

Gotta say that I'm more comfortable making HTML websites with pretty CSS animations in sublime text than working in VIM!!! 👀

Day 1 of using Vim

Vim is a paradox

Starting out vim + tmux send me best of luck.

I can totally relate this to vim :D

I want to give Vim a try. Any advice to find my way around easily ?

Is it worth to learn vim? I mostly write code in JS and currently using VSCode so I wonder if it is worth spending the time to learn how to properly use vim

Try to quit VIM

Finally learning vim after a few years of absolute refusal.

echo export EDITOR="vim" >> ~/.bashrc

Fuck this shit , someone tell me how to exit vim

:wq

Biggest hurdle...
I was finally able to (save and) exit VIM.... yippieeeeeeee

I was pressing 'j' in vim and it was typing 'j' onto the screen and i was like what the fuck, why is typing j inserting a j into my file. Realised i was accidentally in insert mode.

# Just vim things.

I'm done with Vim for good.

Do people actually like using vim?

So one of my coworkers is making a tutorial on how to use a terminal, and he has a section on exiting vim, he must be a god, he can exit vim 😂

I started using vim today

Not sure if I'm gonna ditch GUI IDEs and editors completely, but I think I'll try using only vim for a day or two, see how it goes

Learning vim out of fear of being stuck with it with no other options

My company provides license for Intellij IDEA Ultimate but I've customised my Vim for development according to my convenience so I use Vim instead.

Except for changing variable names across multiple files. IDEA's refactoring is the only thing I am using IDEA for.

How do you split window and open file explorer in vim?

:Sex!

Fastest way to learn VIM? Definitly wanna learn it.

When you find out that you can enable the mouse on Vim...

I'll forever preach about vim.

When vim finally clicks

"I can learn how to use vim in 5 minutes"

Said no one (ever)

!Rant

A while ago I saw a post about a website that gamefied the learning of vim. Anyone know what it is called?

Wish installing a Vim plugin were as simple as installing an Npm package. Yet another time when I try to learn Vim. :|

Can someone please tell GitHub to add Vim mode? I'm tired of filling my comments with Vim navigation sequences only to have to correct them with a mouse...

😫

I noticed Facebook allowed vim keys navigation, I didn't realise this until I had scrolled through at least half a dozen posts.

VIM users write hundreds of line code with thousands of ESC...

When you feel old, because you're the only vim user within your company.

I'll have a social life once I quit vim...

":" is to Vim what "Ctrl" is to "Emacs".

I need a vim plugin for everything, tired of writing :w everywhere.

Let's say we use vim because every "cool" developer says they use it. But in reality, we barely know how to exit it.

Anyone actually using vim/emacs as their primary dev environment ?

Are people using Vim doing it for the sake of it? Is there such a thing as a Vim hipster?

I mean, nano is just nicer 😇

Vim is fun to learn. Now when I git merge I'll be in a familiar program instead of a hellish prison.

Pressing ESC at the end of the line so that the modal in the browser closes and I have to write everything again.

Just Vim things

Cant believe how I lived without vim for so long.

The first rule of Vim club is you can't quit.

Question to people who use vim as their main editor:

I want to use vim as my main editor and I setup a color scheme. This only looked the way it should in gvim but looked weird in vim. I have read online that this is because of the limited color support of terminals.

So the question: do you use gvim or how do you handle color schemes in vim?

Switched from Vim to emacs...
WHY DID I EVER USE VIM?!

I LOST FAITH IN HUMANITY!

searched vim on ddg, found porn. Fuck me.

Looks like there’s no exception to the “3 letters rule”

I did it! I learnt vim!

...

Oh wait, how do you exit again?

This is how it feels with me and vim, every time I think I know it, it turns out there's a whole batch of shortcuts I had no idea existed :"(

VIM is complicated AF, but it can be modded for just about any purpose.

Wanting to get into Vim but can't even figure out how to install fucking plugins..

Vim is like the ten-finger system.
Once you get used to it it's amazing!

I know how to close vim :q! or :wq

Started to look at vim (neovim). At this point I like it

I don't use vim :(

Somebody really hates vim lols.

Is it worth trying to learn vim? I know the basics (like how to quit), but wasn't sure if it was worth the time.

Im trying to learn vim in my spare time. Obviously, I am fumbling around and am nowhere near as productive coding than in the IDEs im used to.

For you vim masters put there, how long do you think it will be before I would be productive enough to use it as my main editor, assuming primarily learning in my free time outside of work?

Me : mahn, I'm not able to setup pythn bindings for vim
Friend ( who is tired of me saying about vim ): go get a life
Me: sodo apt-get life
Me: looks like the package is not available, what is the exact name?

SAO is the VIM of VRMMORPGs

(I liked this so much I had to continue the VIM shitposts)

The best thing about getting used to vim is typing something in a website, finishing it, pressing ctrl+[ losing what you have just typed and re writring it.

What do you guys think are the best vim plugins available?

today for the first time I setup my VimRC .
Ill try to stay here . lets see how I go with VIM

Providing a vim mode should be a mandatory thing for any text editor. It just makes life so simple!
:s/editor/vim/g

Switched my editor to vim mode today, and I'm starting to like it... Send halp

What are some cool plugins, color-schemes, whatever else for vim/nvim?
Current setup is nvim + Plug + YouCompleteMe + UltiSnips

when you've done with everything.
time to setup vim.

Me: (uses nano)
Friend: you should use vim
Me: (enters vim) can never get out

the only gf I ve ever known was in Vim

Are here Vim users using the dvorak layout?

I am thinking of learning (programmer) dvorak but I am way to comfortable with Vim. I think Vim itself would not even be my primary concern since one should not use HJKL anyway. But I also have these bindings for switching tmux panes, vim splits and windows in i3, etc .
I think Dvorak would be a great opportunity to finally learn touch typing but I fear that Vim is not compatible with it.

So what is your experience with these two? Does it work? Is it worth it?

Anyone used the vim plugin for VS Code? Thoughts on this and how much it differs from 'standalone' vim?

Downloaded vim and now I feel like an 80's hacker...

Vim vs Emacs!!!

Good resourced to learn to use vim? I want change from atom but every time I try I get frustrated. I only know basic vim.

Now that I know I can plug vim emulators into most of the IDEs, the idea of mastering the keyboard flow seems a lot more viable.

I wanted to change my username, and them nobody was named vim...

Had to use -vim- because you need at least 4 chars

Sometimes I feel like I'm playing space invaders when using x in vim...

Commiting vim commands like a boss.

Any useful vim dotfiles repos so that i dont have to configure all on my own?

Anyone who uses vim + tmux? Did you remap the tmux keys to vim keys? How have you configured the keys to control tmux and get an efficient workflow?

Emacs or vim?

Vim is better at being a plugin in other editors.

Spent my whole day at work just setting up my vim. 😎
