I pick one thing that I suck at, or am slow at with VIM. I then learn the command, and practice the hell out of it until it's natural. Then rinse, wash, and repeat.

Hey it’s me your gf’s gf. She meant it for me!

I've gotten better lol I still have my moments though

Be ok with sucking for a month. Use vim tutor to learn and navigate the basics. But then commit to learning 1-2 new cool and helpful things a day. In just a few weeks you’ll be crushing it.

Also relative line numbers. They’re necessarily navigating a file quickly and effortlessly

BRB, building better ergo mech foot keeb. Soldering with toes should be…interesting

Its wonderful

Also feelz clicky clicky in soul

In my defense, I ended up typing a 7.8k short story for my science fiction and fantasy class in school, and the week prior, I turned in multiple 4-page reports for urban ecology that I procrastinate the hell out of last semester.

I broke my ass typing those days, and having a good keyboard made it much less insufferable. As a student who regularly does quite a lot of typing and spent at least 20% of his life on a computer, I would rather not compromise my comfortability in that regard.

Then again, it might be all copium on my end since if ergonomic was so important, I won't be sitting in a $5 Walmart chair.

Oof that’s rough. Keep an eye on AliExpress if time isn’t a concern.

im canadian though so for me it says 80 bucks, 90 bucks is what that store prices keycaps and they dont ship here anyway im like 👁💋👁

Awesome gift! I love my 7V! You have a great GF!! Better keep her around!

No /s needed, its 100% true lmao. I had the highest wpm back in high school because of it

Exactly

I got everything else from AliExpress but the Keycaps + shipping + shipping times (when I ordered these) made me look to other sites. It doesn’t always work, but if you add stuff to your cart and walk away, sellers sometimes send you really good discounts.

Bland but super crunchy

Yeah, that’s how my son prefers the setup (he’s currently on Windows but loves my Mac gear). If he switches OS’s at some point and we keep this keyboard, we’ll make the adjustment.

This is peak repurposing right here

I would, but my son is using this with his Windows computer and is used to the layout. If it were for me, I would definitely put them in the correct order. If he moves to macOS we’ll make the adjustment.

Oof, I paid about half of that for these- I put them in my cart and left them there for a while until I got the coupon incentive from the seller. I would have bought them through AliExpress too, but the shipping time and cost redirected me to Etsy to try my luck.

Okay, I will. I'll do it because I feel cool when I use vim, and making my IDE less accessible to the average person is something that appeals to a pretentious wanker like me. But what I'll be left with is the realisation that my vim skills are weak, that I pretty much just toggle insert mode and navigate with arrow keys for the most part, and I don't really know what habits I should be developing to turn vim into a productivity enhancement.

So everyone, favourite ways to incorporate vim into everyday code editing?

Ohhh, u right.

I think whenever I see a pcb without a daughterboard, my dumb brain thinks "=/=gasket mount!"

Thanks for letting me know :00

I dunno about you but an image of a person snacking on switches is hilarious

80 bucks for keys

Honestly can’t wait to show off my first keeb.

It's already gasket mounted
