More fun with VIM, it only takes six key strokes to save and quit.

  • By TUI do you mean VI/M? Or something like helix or slap??

    VI is usually on 99% of the time on any Linux system. That’s why I use VIM, to ensure I know what to do for editing and how to do it at a basic level. I mean personally I have a bunch of config settings and plugins, but I an do basic tasks with VI and feel comfortable. I believe that is important for a Linux admin.

      Totally. If you don’t know the vi basics and you’re stuck in some state of disrepair or emergency, you’re going to have a much worse time getting things sorted :)

      I much prefer gui editor with all the frills for complex coding. But the guy I’m working with right now, it’s vim all the way for him and honestly he’s about as fast as I am at most things.
