As a programmer I spend a lot of hours at the keyboard and I've been doing it for the last 12 years, more or less. If there's something I've never gotten used to during all this time, it's these annoying and almost unconscious constant micro-interruptions I experience while coding, due to some of the most common code editing tasks. Things like a simple copy & paste from a different line (or even the same line), or moving 1 or 2 lines up or down from the current position require too much typing or involve the use of the arrow keys ...and it gets worse when I want to move further - I end up using the mouse. Now imagine this same scenario but on a laptop.

我一直在考虑学习VIM,但掌握它所需的时间总是让我想后退一步。

我想听听那些学会了它的人的意见,如果它最终成为你生活中不可或缺的东西之一。

在工作中,我使用VS2008, c#和r#,它们一起使编辑代码比以前更快更容易,但即使如此,我认为我可以享受根本不需要使用鼠标。

甚至连方向键都没有。

I'd say vim is definitely worth learning. I picked it up last summer, and it is now my editor of choice for just about everything (java is a stretch, but doable when I don't need extensive analysis support). As everyone has already affirmed, it is a wonderfully efficient tool. For what it's worth, I only learned a fairly small subset of vim's features (which took a day or two) from a graphical tutorial, and a few odds and ends from here (long read), and the search and replace functionality, and I was hooked. I've learned things since then, but at my leisure. I'd say the learning curve flattens out at this point, but then, I was using it pretty heavily and was surrounded by others who were, too.

我现在几乎只使用VIM。

我以前使用Vim进行编辑,使用VS Editor进行调试。这可能看起来有点疯狂,但我发现Vi模式(宏,基于home键的编辑等)对我的工作效率有很大的提高,在VS中编辑是很痛苦的。

多亏了Viemu,我甚至不用再做切换了。它还不是完美的解决方案(代码完成有时不像原生vim中那样优雅,宏记录也不完美),但它比不断地来回切换要好得多。

Vim的学习曲线可能被夸大了。我认为一旦你进入它,它是相当直观的。

我最近改用了VIM,我认为这是值得的。如果你需要“完成一些事情”,你可以一直保持在插入模式,在这种模式下vim就像一个普通的文本编辑器。

我已经注意到,一些以前并不困扰我的事情,比如按方向键,现在感觉不对,太费劲了。它确实减少了我的手部活动和鼠标的使用,这对人体工程学和工作效率都有好处

我已经使用vi/vim超过25年了。如果你已经知道一些命令行编辑器,那么你可能不需要学习vi/vim。但是如果您不太了解其他命令行编辑器,那么学习它是值得的。在vi/vim中很容易轻松地提高效率。

我认为花时间和精力去学习vim绝对是值得的。对我来说,它使得在文本中输入和导航变得如此高效,很难想象回到emacs或ctrl/shift/alt/meta组合键。

不要被vim所有花哨的特性吓倒。一旦你用得够多了,你就会知道哪些命令用得最多,哪些事情可以忘记。

我使用vi和vim也有20年了,我还在学习新的东西。

David Rayner的Best of Vim Tips网站是一个很好的列表,不过如果您对Vim比较熟悉,它可能会更有用。

我还想提一下ViEmu网站,那里有一些关于vi/vim技巧的很棒的信息,特别是文章Why, oh, Why, do those nuhead with vi?(存档版本)
