Every single commit has become co-authored by claude. It’s not like even just allowing LLM contributions or something, the main devs are full on vibe coding.
Let the editor holy wars (re)start!
Vim is the one true editor, and the heretics who claim otherwise shall be driven forth and sent to
re-educationlinux boot camps to learn the true ways.I’ve only ever seen vim users call for holy wars… I’m happy with my RSI and carpal tunnel syndrome. Emacs till death do me fart.
Me no love nano, me brain only can use nano.
E macs scary. vim no let me leave :(
You might like micro :) its like nano but with more user friendly features like Ctrl+s for save, and clicking places to change cursor location. I think you have to enable the “cheat sheet” of keyboard commands being visible all the time if you want it to always be showing like I do
It also supports extensions but I don’t really care about that lol. I just want something simple with nice ux :)
p sure latest nano can do all that, you can atleast change the default save bindings to ctrl s in the .nanorc file and im p sure most distros include a build of nano that has mouse support. If its supported by the build, its just a settings toggle in the rc file likr the bindings :)
Micro also has syntax highlighting, multiple buffers with split editors, and theming, among other things. It’s pretty dang neat
