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。
这绝对是值得努力的。
使用Vi(m)的人会告诉您一个明显的原因，还有两个原因人们似乎从来没有提到过。
这是一个显而易见的例子:
Vi无处不在，功能强大得令人难以置信，通过学习一次，您就可以在几乎任何有键盘的计算机上使用这种功能。
下面是学习Vim的一些鲜为人知的原因:
It's not half as much effort as you think it's going to be. Run through the Vim tutor once (vimtutor at a shell, or in Windows run it from the Vim folder in the Start Menu), and you'll already be well on your way to competence, and it's all downhill from there. I was up to the level where I could use Vim at work without taking any noticeable productivity hit within less than a week's worth of lunchtimes.
It's fun! Editing text is like a game to me now. I actively enjoy it--which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about it.
还有两个不学习Vim的好理由:
它会让人上瘾，你会发现自己希望在所有的计算中都能使用Vim命令，而每当不能使用时就会诅咒。幸运的是，至少在某些情况下，有一些方法可以绕过这个问题。
同样，它会让人上瘾，尽管您不会因为实际使用Vim而失去任何生产力，但您将浪费数小时搜索使您的Vim体验更好的好提示，并阅读Stack Overflow上的Vim标签。
