1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I love vim (discuss.tchncs.de)

    I am a vscodium user who has begun to get increasingly frustrated over lack of commands to do some simple things.
    So, as a longtime GNU/Linux user, who only knew basic commands to survive in vim, I decided to change my habits.
    installed flavours of neovim(lunarvim, nvchad, and astronvim, in that order) and started tinerking. then switched to kick start.nvim.
    on Android, I'm using plain neovim since there seems to be some missing lib for mason, the neovim package manager.
    passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.

    I'm still very much a novice, and continue using codium in office, but I am committed to using neovim as I believe it's truly a great editor(second to Emacs, of course).

    above it is the text that reads, 'learning about ci" in vim.'

    TIL. Thanks OP. I have been using "vi" followed by "x" followed by "i" all this time.

    For what it's worth, you can replace xi with just s or c
