Thanks comrade! I’d never heard of this one. Checking it out now. Also a lot of recommendations for the terminal text editors in here. Y’all are badass. I have a hard time motivating myself to learn vim when I really don’t see myself ssh-ing into servers to edit configs and shit anytime soon.
Well, I didn’t need to edit configs or use any SSH to get Vim to work. It worked as soon as I installed and opened it. I only later edited the .vimrc file to set some settings. If you just need a simple text editor without any additional features, there’s Nano and GEdit. Not sure if any of these exists for Windows though, I use Linux most of the time.
I’ve used vim mostly for kicks and I could make my way around some code in there if I had to. The thing is, I don’t have to, so I don’t. I like using the terminal because hackerman, but also for my job and personal stuff I’m always in a GUI anyway, so in some ways it’s more work to open a terminal and vim it up, if that makes sense.
