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。

Vim绝对值得学习,以下是部分总结前面所述的主要原因:

Vi/Vim can be found on most unix systems. Vim allows you to easily code without taking your hands off the keyboard. If you plan you configure anything in a unix based system likelihood is you going to be editing a fair few config files, therefore you'll want to learn a terminal based editor, of which vim is one of the best (sorry emacs). Vim compiles/has precompiled binaries for almost every OS out there. No need to post "I need a textmate alternative for [insert OS]", you'll have Vim instead! There are a lot of good plugins out there to add alot of functionality, such as in-editor cvs diffs, although some of these require a fair amount of tinkering.

另外,如果您喜欢Vim键绑定,也有一些ide在它们的编辑器中包含了Vim绑定,用于简单的命令,例如Komodo Edit。

要获得学习Vim的帮助,请尝试在终端中输入'vimtutor'并按照说明进行操作。还有一本书是特别好的Hacking Vim

其他回答

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

仅在Unix系统上,Vim的惊人的普遍性,以及vi克隆的更惊人的普遍性,就足以使它值得学习。

除此之外,我认为整个vi式的思维方式让我变得更有效率。对于一个不习惯命令模式和插入模式等模式的人来说,仅仅为了插入文本而进入一个模式似乎有点过分。但是,当一个人已经使用Vim几个月,并且已经学习了相当多的技巧和技巧时,Vim似乎是一项值得的资产。

当然,关于Emacs风格的思维,Emacs人群也说了同样的话,但我放弃了学习Emacs,因为Vim更简单,而且为我做了这项工作。

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。

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。
