LMFAO! Perfect.

I typically don't know what I'm doing, so my favorite binding is :q!

[–] towerful 56 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I guess the obvious one is "holding spacebar for control key"

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look, my setup works for me. Can you please just add an option to reenable spacebar heating?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reference: xkcd #1172 - Workflowxkcd: Workflow

Hover text: There are probably children out there holding down spacebar to stay warm in the winter! YOUR UPDATE MURDERS CHILDREN.

This is me. I will find a way to make it work, it will be janky, and any update is liable to throw the entire thing into disarray.

That's horrifying

Not sure if this is obscure or not: I have F12 bound to cycle through the low- to high-contrast versions of my color scheme so I can keep working when the sun hits my shitty laptop screen.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

this is definitely obscure

The original sucks ngl

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Wow, I think we're still ahead.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

how is a vim joke better then the original lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The Jenkins is epic

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've mapped jk to escape because it's rare and it's separate fingers in home row, so it's faster than e.g. jj.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mapped kj instead. Can't remember why, but I like it that way.

[–] o11c 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately both of those are used in common English or computer words. The only letter pairs not used are: bq, bx, cf, cj, dx, fq, fx, fz, hx, jb, jc, jf, jg, jq, jv, jx, jz, kq, kz, mx, px, qc, qd, qg, qh, qj, qk, ql, qm, qn, qp, qq, qr, qt, qv, qx, qy, qz, sx, tx, vb, vc, vf, vj, vm, vq, vw, vx, wq, wx, xj, zx.

Personally I have mappings based on <CR>, and press it twice to get a real newline.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I guess I just don't write "blackjack and hookers" often enough. Sigh, I'll never make a good Redditor.

Funny, I've never actually had "kj" interrupt me in vim. Maybe once. It's a funny way of realising I've never written certain words in vim!

What?!

And to think I was going to take an early night...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's some shitty, lossy compression.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Nah man, that is some crispy jpeg memes

I want to solve: What is .jpg?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I have \yeet bound to ggdG (backslash being my leader key)

Edit: Detail about leader. I'd add the proper binding but markdown's being weird.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so you use 5 keystrokes to get out of typing 4.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Technically yes. However I figured it'd be a funny one to have in my vimrc.

Also capital G requires a shift press, so not sure how many keystrokes that counts as.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Well, you see, I spilled coffee on my mechanical keyboard, permanently breaking the 2/@ key, so I mapped it to pause/break..

[–] somegeek 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I map caps lock to esc with setxkbmap. Much more fun ergonomically.

[–] Nefrace 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use caps for switching languages instead of alt+shift or super+space.

Very efficient thing when you need to use your native language and some code in one text message or code block.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where do you have that running? I set it in my i3 config and it never takes properly on my laptop. On my desktop I ended up just doing it in hardware because it was easier

[–] somegeek 2 points 1 year ago

It works great in i3config but in gnome I have problems with it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ctrl+a, Ctrl+c, alt-tab, Ctrl+z, enter.

"This is mine now."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have a Logitech G600 and have all those and more on the side buttons, lol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not a Vim user, but no matter what software I'm using, I might think about its keybindings like the first week of getting familiar with it; at one point they become muscle memory and I stop thinking about them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. The primary advantage of keyboard control. It stops being something you engage your conscious brain for.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I like the one of Isaac

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Me with my dwm key binds.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

alt+z for saving, I guess?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ctrl+D = Alt+F4 in CMD.exe so that I can exit from that black box in the way the good lord intended.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

i use vim tips and still cant remember names, what gives?

[–] somegeek 2 points 1 year ago

This really had me laugh 😂😂
