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。

是的,一定要花时间学习至少一点'vi'和'vim'。它旅行很好。

当你面对一个你没有安装能力的Unix/Linux/Mac系统时,你永远不会被困住。即使在Windows上(如果你有安装功能)“Vim”是免费且易于安装的。(而不是把你的学习曲线完全投入到像UltraEdit这样的东西上,尽管一个优秀的编辑器可能并不总是适合你……)

学习vi可以帮助你学习其他工具,比如sed和regex:一般来说是可迁移的东西。

另外,如果你想成为一个真正的极客,你只需要知道'vi/m',否则你看起来就像一个骗子;-)

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.

I too put off learning vi or vim for many years. Matter of fact, I use to make fun of the "vi guys" who always seemed to be doing finger aerobics. Then, as I moved away from Windows and over to Linux as my primary OS, I had to become more familiar with vim. It was a learning curve and it still is. After 9 years of using vim on a daily basis I still find myself learning new and faster ways of doing things. What I use to think of as "finger aerobics" actually turned out to be an extremely efficient way of being productive. I can now do a whole lot more code development in a whole lot less time and effort than I ever did prior to vim. And as I'm sure you know vim runs on about every platform out there so you always have it when you need it. Also, if you like GUI's they have GUI versions for most platforms. Personally, just like the mouse, I don't want to see a menu bar, scroll bars, etc. cluttering up my editing window(s).

如果你决定尝试一下vim,我强烈推荐O'Reilly的《vi Editor Pocket Reference》一书。它很便宜,如果你只是学习vi (vim),它是很棒的。完整的vim书籍也很好,但口袋参考给你所有的基础知识,快速高效。

是的:如果你不使用,也不打算在将来使用任何IDE。即使您使用IDE,您也会发现自己要返回到它来做许多事情。在vim中,你可以编写脚本,执行复杂的任务,比如使用命令(有点晦涩,但一旦上手就很容易理解)而不是单独编辑500行。起初我觉得很难,但后来它帮助了我很多。即使是最好的IDE编辑器也缺乏vim的功能。Vim可以很好地与CVS、SVN、make、调试器等一起工作。

不:如果你坚持使用Eclipse或Netbeans这样的ide。或者你觉得像凯特这样的编辑对你来说就足够了。事实上,Kate或notepad++或jEdit有GUI和你可能在vim中错过的功能。例如,Kate的符号查看器或notepad++的巨大菜单栏。

我开始喜欢上vi,是因为我看到有人非常熟练地使用vi,以极快的速度进行编辑。你真的可以用它快速编码。我喜欢它的另一个原因是,有时我发现在IDE中鼠标移动一段时间后真的很疼我的手,而vi提供了一个很好的改变。正如其他人所提到的,它几乎总是在unix系统上可用,即使在糟糕的连接上也能很好地工作。

我没有看到有人提到的一件事是,了解vi在某些圈子里有“极客信誉”的额外好处。我能想到至少有一些人在看到一个新程序员启动nedit来对文件做一些更改时会暗自发笑。
