image description:
"epic handshake" meme format with left arm superimposed with the text "Brazilians", whilst right one with "novice vim users"
on top of handshake, text reads "kkkkk".

for those who don't get it: Brazilians(maybe other Portuguese speakers too?) use "kkkkkk" or "rsrsrs" in texting to indicate laugh, similar to "haha".

pressing "k" in vim(in normal mode) makes the cursor go one line up. for efficient navigation, a number before a navigation key(h,j,k,l) can be used. e.g.: 10k to go 10 lines up.

also, "relative line numbers" might be a setting you may wish to turn on in case you need to jump several lines up.
you can also use Ctrl+d, Ctrl+u(or their full page counterparts Ctrl+f, Ctrl+b for quick navigation, but that's a tip for some other day. :)

then those Ctrl shortcuts I mentioned are for you, friend.
they'll help you move very quickly one you get used to them.

Um, you probably should remove this post. KKK means something very different in the US

Fuck the USA government.

Well I don't really care what you think of the us but you should avoid posting racist content. Its likely unintentional but you could offend someone.

This isn't unique to the us. You should consider removing content that is racist or promoting a terrorist organization.

"You are using your language wrong"

  • a random idiot on the internet.

You got a point. Its just a touchy subject for many Americans.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 20 points 1 year ago

It's not even the same number of letters or capitalized. You're trying hard to find issue where there's none.

This last sentence needs to be said more in life

just like shakira says
no busques problemas donde no los hay(lit: don't look for problems where there aren't any)

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Now it is better.

Wow, using h j k l to navigate in vi takes me back to last century.

As long as I can remember vim has been navigating via the cursor keys...

[-] callyral@pawb.social 21 points 1 year ago

cursor keys? you mean arrow keys? i'm pretty sure both work, although hjkl is in home row if you care about that

[-] lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

perhaps he worked on ADM-3A, which had hjkl double as arrow keys(and upon which vi was made).
