I am a vscodium user who has begun to get increasingly frustrated over lack of commands to do some simple things.
So, as a longtime GNU/Linux user, who only knew basic commands to survive in vim, I decided to change my habits.
installed flavours of neovim(lunarvim, nvchad, and astronvim, in that order) and started tinerking. then switched to kick start.nvim.
on Android, I’m using plain neovim since there seems to be some missing lib for mason, the neovim package manager.
passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.
I’m still very much a novice, and continue using codium in office, but I am committed to using neovim as I believe it’s truly a great editor(second to Emacs, of course).
image transcription:
famous still of Nicholas cage with his eyes closed, smiling as his hair flow.
above it is the text that reads, ‘learning about ci" in vim.’
explanation for the command
ci":c: change. analogous to delete(d) followed by insert(i)i: inside": the double quoteso, it’s basically change inside double quote(easier to remember as it sounds exactly what it does).
you can similarly do
di((delete inside parenthesis).an inferior alternative on vscodium would be
shift + alt + right/left arrowWhat about yi’'?
that also works. thought users would figure that out.
