I'm a vi user, having learned it when I had to admin dozens of flavours of *NIX in the 90s.

I moved to Windows ten years ago for my day job, and had to use many editors which didn't support vi keybindings, so ended up learning to work with only the keys on the PC keyboard.

This has worked out quite well, as these days I have vi keybindings in some Windows apps (thanks ViEmu!), but when they're not available, I can fall back to 'no help' mode and still be comfortable enough with most editing tasks.

Still more<esc>bimuch <esc>ea productive with vi keys!

Don't you mean "bcw"? ;)


His would be: Still much more productive with vi keys!

Yours would be: Still much productive with vi keys!


Derp, you're right. It seems I can't English this morning. :)
