I am confused.You can't be bothered with it, yet you will try an extension for vs code? 0.o how does that work? was it using it on a terminal environment what you didn't like?
-
odite47324y@AleCx04 The conversion from a text editor to an IDE. Not worth it when I was only interested for the commands.
-
Jilano273044y@AleCx04 Same. If you already know most of the movements, finding the plugins is fairly easy in comparison.
But hey, as long as you like your workflow, all is well. -
odite47324y@Jilano I've seen a few people say it's quicker to set up on Linux as there are some issues on Mac (what I'm using)
-
Jilano273044y@odite Never tried on MacOS, but I did have trouble last time I tried on Windows (I couldn't get to download them automatically).
Guess you'll have to give it a go :D (I suggest Vim plug as a plugin manager) -
devTea243754y@odite setting up vim does take time, using an extension on vscode also take out the performance
-
Did you manage to quit it ?
I hear vim has 100% retantion rate as noone can fogure out how to exit -
@odite I know, but I just can't resist every time I see vim mentioned :( Feel free to downvote, it deserves it
-
@odite I got you. I use Vim on both my Linux machine (current one running Linux Mint) at home and on my macbooks and I have the same setup installed. There are ways in which you can add additional plugins to Vim to make it work like a full IDE much like you can extend VS Code with Javascript based plugins though. What issues did you encounter?
I don't think you would find much productivity on Vim unless you really invest time to learn the commands, honestly I haven't gone that in deep on Vim, I know it well enough not to get lost, but do appreciate a good mouse when I am working. But, and just if you are interested, I can send you some useful links concerning how to make Vim a pretty powerful IDE :D, at the end of the day bro if you like VS Code there ain't really a reason to change. It is currently my number one platform for development but my projects ain't massive enough to warrant something else. -
@Jilano the filesystem for how both Vim and Emacs work on Windows is pretty fucky man! I do rather like how emacs works on windows tho ngl. About to try setting up Vim again on windows, last time I tried it was a beautiful exercise in frustration.
-
Jilano273044y@AleCx04 Never tried Emacs on Windows, but I'll give it a go just for the fun, ha!
Anyway, I think the only "sane" way to use Vim on Windows nowadays is through WSL. That way you're bypassing most of the bullshit.
Tried vim. Can't be fucking bothered. I'll just use the vim extension for VS Code.
