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。

首先,良好的vi(m)知识将节省您在被围困的服务器上紧急编辑配置文件的时间。它可以支持延迟的ssh连接。

管理的东西除了vim的输入法将是你最好的防御腕管,如果你有效地使用它与人体工程学键盘。

要了解vim的意义,最好的方法是在家里开始一个休闲的项目,拔掉鼠标插头,用胶带遮住方向键。

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。

vi/vim的两个优点:

它很轻 它几乎安装在每个*NIX系统上

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.

不要被命令的数量吓到,我还没有遇到过使用最多几十个命令的人。我发现它是不可或缺的,因为当我想到代码时,我想到的是文本,转到思考鼠标只会把我弄糊涂。最大的技巧,我认为,是一次学习一点,不要犹豫,玩玩-撤销功能是很好的探索它的行为。

此外,如果您深入了解它,vim是可编写脚本的。可能性是无限的。

(是的,所有这些也适用于emacs…)
