h j k l
If you thought Mari's post was geeky, just look at this. I've been learning how to use Vim, a text editor based on commands, after several failed attempts in the past. Now I'm finally using it primarily for work...and it can be reaaaaally stressful at first, cause you don't know what the hell is going on (you move your cursor with h, j, k, l to the left, down, up and right respectively), but am finally in the stage where I know how to do most basic stuff way faster than on a normal text editor, like replacing text, copying, moving between many open files, folding blocks of code, searching for patterns.

ReplyDeleteIt is in the long run :), your productivity increases greatly
ReplyDeletei learned that when i worked in astronautics, i was surrounded by vim enthusiasts....i love how you have put sed statements to replace and all that....it is way faster once you get the hang out it!
ReplyDeletesounds awesome! I don't code enough (yet), so Notepad++ suffices right now.
