Anyone got a good vim game? I was liking vim adventure then

>>59567268
Lel the same happened to me.
I just started to learn the "boring" way. This was a good start though

evil mode

>A text editor needs an adventure game to teach you how to use the text editor.

Why do everyone use hjkl to navigate ?

I use vim everyday and I use superior arrows to navigate, they allow me to move cursor while in insert mode

>>59569007
I'm using a sane editor and just click with the mouse at the position I want my cursor to be.

>sane editor

That better be Libre Office and not Microsoft Office fag.

>>59569090
You can do that with vim, it just needs to be turned on with :set mouse=a.

vim with a foreign language keyboard layout

had a webex session with some TAC monkeys about three weeks ago. always have to set the keyboard layout to english for them.
then I needed to change a setting with vim on the shared screen and only fucked up my file ... ":" had moved in the layout and I couldn't quit anymore, too. embarassing as fuck

You must be really slow and never edit text for longer than 6 seconds.

>>59569007

Because you're not using it how it's meant to be used, negating any useful things about it. You are just a poser who thinks he's cool for using Vi.

>>59569909
I've never seen the use of many of the features in vim because I don't touch type anyway. I never felt the need to learn since I get around 105 WPM using my index fingers only.

I use vim because it cuts the bullshit and because it's a terminal editor so I can use it consistently whether I'm SSHing or not.

>>59568971
I wonder what kind of game you would need to make to teach emacs though.

>>59569090
You can't use a sane text editor when you need to edit a file in a remote host via SSH.
There's nano, vim and emacs.

>105 just with the index fingers
Screenshot of Typeracer, or you're full of shit, I get 80 wpm avg, and that is considered faster that 94%.

>>59569007
hjkl feel much better than arrow keys after you get used to them, trust me.

>>59572117
could you make some sort of crappy script maybe? Like this without the hardcoded path.

FILE=$(mktemp)
scp somehost:/path/to/file $FILE
vim $FILE
scp $FILE somehost:/path/to/file

>>59569090
I can do this with vim in a terminal emulator no problem. Highlighting text works too.

>>59567268
Better pay up, you will pay dearly in actual productivity for using a meme editor, anyway.

>>59572087
Doesn't really teach you emacs, but

emacs -batch -l dunnet

It's a text adventure with computers you can walk up to and use.

Here you go. It's 101-103, slightly lower than the 105 I said, but I've never used Typeracer before.

>>59574504
Would love to see how this looks in action. I once recorded myself typing at 114 WPM and while it didn't look too fast when playing it back, I'd imagine using only the index fingers makes it a lot more hectic due to them having to move that much more.

I myself use both thumbs on the spacebar and pinkies on shift/return/backspace. Most of the actual typing is done using the index and middle fingers though, with only a few keys being left for the ring fingers. A bit unorthodox, but works for me.

There's also sftp

Its just a holdover from when the vim dev had a stupid ass keyboard with arrows on the HJKL keys.
