gg/un2x?-d/like

FTFY

I'm not planning on googling that ๐Ÿ˜’.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

result: Very intuitive like vim.

  1. gg - top of the file
  2. /un - find โ€œunโ€ place cursor at u
  3. 2x - remove 2 characters
  4. ?- - search backwards for the character -
  5. d/like - delete everything up until the characters like

See, intuitive!

I don't do that much search and replace in any terminal based text editor to actually use that on a regular basis. If I need edits like that, I use a GUI text editor.

Sure, I just hate moving from mouse to keyboard every few seconds as I code.
