Sharing for lulz 🤣

In this meme we see an elderly veteran in a dress uniform looking emotional and on the verge of tears, with the text that reads: "Me, having fought in the Vim–Emacs wars, seeing juniors vibe-code in Cursor”.

    Ever wonder why vi uses hjkl for movement?

    It's not arbitrary—it's hardware history. The ADM-3A terminal had arrows printed directly on those keys.

    ESC was also where Tab is now. Vi wasn't designed for ergonomics, it was designed for the keyboard that existed.

      Hmmm decisions decisions. As an user I usually prefer with just 2 plugins installed my gruvbox theme and colorizer to color html color codes. But I'm wondering if I really need syntax highlighting and theme support ? You can see my rough and I mean rough .kshrc side by side in vim and vi. I do like a splash of color and do enjoy the command completion though so I guess I will tinker with n(vi) further.

      A screenshot of my OpenBSD desktop showing 2 Xterm windows the left running vim and the right n(vi) both showing the output of my current .kshrc file

        Currently I'm a user with only two plugins loaded by vims own system no packer or anything. They are the gruvbox theme and colorizer to color HTML color codes.
        I've been researching to see if I could work with and wondered about undo history and found that it might be possible ?

        u
        Undo the last change made to the file.
        If repeated the u command alternates between these two states.
        The . command when used immediately after u causes the change log to be rolled forward or backward depending on the action of the u command.
        If you're an nvi user what other tips or hacks are there that I should know about ? I don't suppose there is some magical way to theme it ?

          If you're not deeply entrenched in motions, may I recommend you try editor? It's what I use for @silverbulletmd@fosstodon.org since last year, there's config in repo.

          Although familiarity with usual vim still comes in handy on the school computer 😅
