#vimmotions — Public Fediverse posts

Over 20 years ago we decided to learn to touchtype, to do this we switched our layouts to #dvorak . It worked and the bandwidth with witch we could transfer ideas into the machine rose immensely.

Now recently we decided to up the ante and try learning #vimmotions ( better late then never). Same as with dvorak the learning process is delightfully miserable :)

Interestingly even with very clumsy use of perhaps 10 motions, I start to find editing text without them increasingly annoying :P

The list might grow over the year too😁:
1) Rust
2) Jujutsu VCS
3) Nushell
4) helix motions
5) Nix - much more deeper
6) Pulumi
7) GCP
8) Zellij
9) Tailscale / Netbird (or anything wireguard based)
etc

And more importantly I want to share
my learning journey, findings etc

If u are a fellow learner too of any of these, let's connect😁

Dammit, it's finally time to learn those #VimMotions

#programming #vim #neovim

#Keybindings are defined all over the place. To give me a structure I think this hierarchy will help:

- Global: System
- Ghostty: Terminal
- Bash: Shell
- Starship: Prompt
- tmux: Session mgnt
- Neovim: Active app

Goal is to intuitively know which of the above a keybind is for.

Which is complicated since tons of commands, utilities, helpers, plugins... often integrates with more than one.

My base is #VimMotions and plan is to iterate tweaking as I learn by using.

Now the real fun begins 🤪

Update: It does. Evince does indeed support vim motions. How did I never realize this?!

I just spent 30 seconds trying to use Vim motions, and wondering why they weren't working. I use them so naturally in other applications, that it feels awkward when they don't work.

Then I remembered: It's because LIbreOffice doesn’t support Vim motions.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd love to see LibreOffice add a setting for Vim motions. The Obsidian team has a great approach to protect the uninitiated.

So I try to learn vim-motions step by step. Everytime I think I have internalized what I currently use, I will try the next commands and add it to my reportoir.

Yesterday I added 'Block Editing'.

[CTRL] + v
[SHIFT] + i or[SHIFT] + a

I was a little irritated that when entering the edit mode and I started to type, that only the first line was being changed. But changes will be added to other lines when pressing [ESC]. First thought I did something wrong. But it works :)
