Also I'm so sodding grateful for Visual Code's search function rn, being able to regex search across files in a repo is lifesaving.

@eden grep -r misses you.

@SoniEx2 ...you're not wrong and this actually misses a lot of the nicer regex features, but it's so convenient!

@eden you can grep -r from within vim. it's just as convenient (if not more, because you don't have to use a mouse).

@eden sorry, I'm probably being annoying. .-. (but I despise MS.)

@SoniEx2 nah you're cool. :) like I said, I don't like 'em either.

I really want to learn emacs tbh, but I find it so stressful learning a new way of typing/using a program like that. I've tried 3 or 4 times but like eventually I stopped because of all the bindings I kept messing up just to do basic things.

@eden get DroidVim and a git client (pick your favorite) on your phone. you'll learn vim (at least the basics) in a month. print out a visual cheatsheet for it.

the same could be done for emacs, probably, but I personally can't stand the pinky usage.

(only mildly annoying thing with vim is when you start typing but you're not in insert mode. it's usually not a big deal tho so it doesn't bother me much.)

@eden (I wonder, do they make emacs keyboards? those would probably help with the pinky usage...)

@eden anyway whatever you use, just act like it's a standard editor with syntax highlighting. if you need something more advanced (delete a whole line, repeat a task, etc) you look it up when you need it. worked for me, at least.

@eden (that also goes for pretty much anything you wanna do: start with the very basics. wanna make an IRC lib? DON'T start trying to make an RFC 1459 (or w/e) lib. start with something that just sends PING replies, then start parsing commands and stuff.)

@eden (but maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by bindings)

@eden (in any case, don't learn any)
