Very clever... (lemmy.ml)

I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

You can use nano without having to read anything about nano. That might be the only thing that is better about it than vim, but it's a damn important thing.

I have zero patience when trying to make small adjustments to files, which is what my command line text editor should be for. Nano just has everything at the bottom in case you forget (I do, frequently) so the workflow is ridiculously streamlined for me

Absolutely. It also has whole-line cut/uncut which is a godsend when working with config files

Ironically, that's like the one thing I've learned to do in Vim.

Because it's easy, dd to delete a line and p to paste it somewhere else.

Personally I'd be somewhat nervous using dd to edit parts of a text file, but you do you :)

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Well, if you dd+p you paste it back again, and then it's in the clipboard so you can p it in other places. In any case you can u(ndo) it without issues.

[-] bpm@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

yy to copy, dd to cut, p to paste. Need to move 5 lines at once? No problem, move to the first line and use d5d, and p to paste it. Vim gets a bad rap for being confusing, but it's so fast to move text around once you get the hang of it.
