When I start a new roguelike:
Activate [j]ump ability, view [l]og, no item underfoot to mark for [k]eeping, [h]ide.
This is a problem for me on systems that only have nano installed. Gets me every time
I always uninstall nano on systems with not much users. On the more busy and established servers, I need to leave it as-is and I have to adjust when
visudoopensnanoand I forgot to putEDITOR=vimin front of it.Can’t uninstall it or my coworkers would go nuts. On systems with separate users, I can set it via .bashrc, but on shared user systems … Well. Above happens.
ting in vim I sometimes still forget I start in normal mode.
And they lived happier ever after.
THE END :wq!
I use eMacs btw
Here’s what my terminal usually looks like
@>vim srv/txt.txt Writes a bunch of lines of code/words/docker containers. [ESC] :sq Can’t edit file without sudo :q! @>sudo vim srv/txt.txt 🥹
I only understand this reference because I worked for a company at one point that had a large number of NeXT and Solaris hosts that only had vi installed with letter key navigation, so my muscle memory does not use arrow keys.
It’s been so long since I worked on a machine where I couldn’t use the cursor keys in vi, I don’t think I’d even be able to anymore.

ITT: People who don’t use vim and insist we have arrow keys now so don’t need hjkl anymore.
Coders use word docs?
I’m not a programmer but I still open up notepad and write in markdown.
It’s just faster.
Erm. This would be vi? vim has arrow key support.
Implying that vim users use arrows instead of hjkl? Blasphemy!

I do :p and I use vim a lot.
