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。

这取决于您想用VIM做什么。仅仅因为许多人离不开它而学习它是没有意义的。

当我经常在UNIX环境中工作时,我不能没有它。即使VIM没有安装在UNIX机器上,我也至少可以使用vi。您总是可以依赖它——即使这台机器不是您的(来自客户的)。

现在我用c#编程,主要在windows环境下工作。我在我的电脑上安装了VIM…我不需要它

评估您是否真的需要VIM,以及它是否支持您的“工作流程”。试试吧。玩它。如果你认为你需要它,就坚持下去……学习曲线非常陡峭。

浏览vimtutor只花了我30分钟,这足以让我熟悉vim。每一秒都是值得的。

您可能希望学习vim,因为您可能对已经使用的编辑器不满意。

你可能想学习vim,因为很多人说它很酷。看看这个问题你有多少答案。

我将提供学习vim的另一个原因。它以其文件的质量和完整性而闻名。因此,只要你设法在帮助查询中插入适当的关键字,你就会在帮助系统中找到大多数问题的答案。

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

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。

无论是vim还是emacs,都绝对值得学习。触摸打字也是值得学习的。在这两种情况下,原因是相同的:你的思考不再被把代码显示在屏幕上的机械过程所打断。

至于如何开始,只需开始使用vim进行所有操作。

附:关于emacs和vi的争论是无休止的。我已经使用emacs 26年了。如果我今天重新开始,我会学习vim,因为(a)它变得更好了,(b)修改键更少了(ctrl - alt - v,任何人),vim用户似乎打字受伤少了很多。
