Changing from a distro that defaults to nano to another that defaults to vim… What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?
neovim through nvf on NixOS. I’m not even a power user, I just had a shit mouse in college and didn’t want to use it and now I’m hundreds of lines of Lua too deep to go back. This is my life now.
Micro is pretty nice, has limited mouse support in the TUI line numbers highlighting. That or Neovim customized
Mostly Neovim and Nano. Tried out ed in the UNIX4 tape that got recovered, was strange but fun to see where sed, grep and other commands got their name from.
GUI is still good old Sublime Text, but I almost completely switched to terminal based editors, I guess because of the nice work flow.
Neovim for terminal but often I use kate for gui because I still don’t find vim commands more efficient
Helix: Barely needs a config. But they are also pretty close to done with a plug-in system for the stuff that isn’t implemented by default :D
Nano. It’s the easiest to use
Was staunchly team vim for 15 years, but now I’m on helix. As another user stated below, its like if vim were re-designed today, and without needing any addons to be a code-aware editor.
Neovim + LazyVim
vis. Only used it for editing configs and stuff though, not programming.
My first experience with *nix was a professor leading me into a server room though two biometric locks and setting up the config files for a compute cluster faster than I would have been able to open the files.
He was using Vim, and though it took me a while to learn, the sheer speed with which he was able to get us out of that unbelievably noisy server room sold me for life.
Well, I use
vimfor text edits andnvim+extensions for an IDE. As close to avimpurist as is reasonable. But frankly, it’s the first one you learn to use well.Vim unless I can neovim.
Being able to change configs on headless systems was my gateway, now I just prefer it
Used to use micro but just switched to neovim, I’m finding it great, esp with the file manager built in
vim forever (i think)
Nano 4 life
nano, vi, geany, kate…
I prefer nano - simple to use & always available. I manage remote systems often from my mobile using termius: config file editing, writing simple scripts for some analysis/automation tasks and recording task notes and status. Using a tablet I might use vi but generally prefer nano.
