wont use before they get rid of the stupid modes or add a clearly visible indicator that shows which mode it is in.

Also, you can have the vertical line cursor instead of block cursor in insert mode, if the terminal supports it (at least in neovim). That's even better indicator, as cursor is where you are looking.

There's only two modes.

You have to physically select the mode yourself.

If you're not in one mode, you're in the other.

Not knowing which mode you have chosen is some professional low IQ tier shit.

>>1063205

lmao there's three modes.

>>1063207

Perhaps I should have clarified: There's only two modes needed.

t. vi (sic) did nothing wrong

Also this fucking retard doesn't even know that modern-vim supports shells.

First, the video perspective is absolute shit, someone narrating

over a black screen would be a better choice, but it seems you

like your face a bit too much. If I understood the argument, it

boils down to Emacs is great because it is extensible in Lisp

which is a high level language.

Well that's true, though I can't say if it is better than vim

script because I never used it before. I know how to use vim

really well, but I decided to go full Emacs because ORG, TRAMP

and many other modes that make my life easier and my time better

used.

The analogy of attaching stuff to a hammer to Unix tools, again

if I understood correctly, is invalid because Unix tools use a

common interface, that's text over standard input, output and

error, not building something on top of another.

Or, you can just switch to a modeless editor.

Vi's modal editing quite literally started out as a compromise for systems whose keyboards lacked enough modifier keys.

If you have them, and they are mapped in a comfortable position which won't give you RSI, non-modal editing is better. Modifier keys are your modes, and you press less keys overall.

>>1063307

lisp is "more" than a high level language, kid

>>1063975

enlighten me how you end up pressing less keys overall

>>1065360

yeah, lisp is so abstract and general that it barely exists

lisp is the rick and morty of computer science

>>1065795

Not him, but unless you are a very efficient vim master (which you arent) you are sure to press more keys than necessary to achieve what you want.

Plus who the fuck wants to write vimscript to extend his editor's functionality

I wonder if anyone has tried installing Gentoo and JUST GNU Emacs, extending it and using only Emacs to do daily tasks. Or even just Arch / Void.

you seem prety autistic OP

Emacs is cool, but have you considered that GNU NANO is the GREATEST TEXT EDITOR other than ed and that vi and Emacs SUCK?

>>1066340

Yes, they have.

Some even go as far to use emacs in place of Xorg.

HURD is the hardest part to get working. At one point there was a gentoo/alt project that used hurd but most gentoo/alt projects have been dropped almost completely except for kfreebsd.

>>1066341

Yes I am diagnosed with the good kind of autism.

>>1063388

Embedding is disabled on this board, retard

vim is bloat

>>1063182

You can do this in iTerm (mac) as well as I think the default ubuntu Terminal with stock vim. I've been using this forever

>uses vim once without reading a single book about it

imho it's not all about efficiency though just being able to comfortablely do everything you want to do without taking your hands off the keyboard is much more enjoyable for me and therefore I am more productive, any key bindings that allow that are good, be that GNU/emacs or vi/vim or whatever else

this is poo. literal pajeet fecal matter.
