I posted a thread a while ago asking people what their favorite text editors are in general, I want to ask here about which terminal text editors you prefer, or your thoughts/opinions on them. I recently stopped using gedit because i realize using tab shortcuts in general disturbs my workflow in comparison to tabs. I've started using terminal tabs with Vim instead. However, i'm not really a huge fan of how Vim is configured from the start even though it's a neat program. Here is my .vimrc file:
This makes saving/quitting really fast, plus gives me what i liked about gedit and allows me to jump to the end of the document etc. the Vim way. It's cool to be able to erase a line with "dd" in normal mode, but not cool to have to get to a word i want with "33l" and ridiculous stuff like that that requires lots of counting and memorization.
From what I understand, both nano and nice editor have a lot of configuration capacity as well, but not sure if you can do everything i've done here...
Code:
"files must be closed/re-opened for this to take effect"
"creates line numbers"
:set number
"causes F1 to mean ':w Enter'"
nnoremap <F1> :w<CR>
"causes F2 to mean ':wq Enter'"
nnoremap <F2> :wq<CR>
"turns on cursor selection"
set mouse=a
