[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yup, use what works. Most of my coworkers use VSCode, and I'm the oddball with ViM (though I have VSCode installed w/ ViM extension). Whatever you use, master it. I recommend learning some CLI editor in case you end up needing one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) That is great advice. Vim was actually the first editor I properly learned. I find many of the keybinding very nice and useful especially for cursor movement. I eventually moved away from it since I find I spend more time learning it than using it. I personally dont use that many feature of a editor, I find IDE features more important to me. But I still have many global keybinding inspired by vim, like ctrl + jkhl;^ for cursor movement. They are absolutely essential for me at this point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago Hjkl is the one core ViM feature that I actually rarely use. I use Dvorak keyboard layout, so those keys are in an awkward location, so I use other movements instead. I have just enough IDE features in ViM that I don't feel the need to switch for most tasks, and if I ever did, there are plugins that fill in the gaps. So I guess we're just opposite sides of the same coin. :) permalink fedilink source parent
