I see.... finally vim has other purpose than being text editor

Great, now consulting a search engine on questions about vim the text editor will yield equally awkward results as consulting a search engine on matters concerning latex the typesetting system.

Other examples that are horrible to search for:

matrix/element (yields html coding and other unrelated info)

Signal (pretty common term for anything but the secure messenger)

Shit, I remember googling "How to kill a child", my next search was "How to kill a child process." I'm probably on a list somewhere.

While I understand the idea behind the naming scheme of matrix, it's an awful name. The naming behind synapse/dendrite is better I believe. But I don't have a better idea.

Vim commandline goes :BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

How to turn off that vim wand

just say you prefer nano,
it will instantly kill the vibe

Why doesn’t this damn thing have a simple off switch like everything else?

Greybeard/greypube: “Ahhctually it is fast and simple and it’s not funny that noobs can’t rtfm. How hard is it to remember squeeze, twist, remove?”

🤔 wondering what the emacs equivalent would be

i think emacs can probably already do that with the right plugins

Esc Meta Alt Ctrl Shift: "hotkeys" will never be the same again...

Classic VIM. It's not intuitive and probably won't get the job done unless you really know what you're doing.
