Great, now consulting a search engine on questions about vim the text editor will yield equally awkward results as consulting a search engine on matters concerning latex the typesetting system.

Other examples that are horrible to search for:

matrix/element (yields html coding and other unrelated info)

Signal (pretty common term for anything but the secure messenger)

Shit, I remember googling "How to kill a child", my next search was "How to kill a child process." I'm probably on a list somewhere.

I think we've all been at a point like this

For matrix i only got the movie's as a result

[–] Flipper@feddit.de 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

While I understand the idea behind the naming scheme of matrix, it's an awful name. The naming behind synapse/dendrite is better I believe. But I don't have a better idea.

It was renamed, thats what pisses me off. The client was renamed from riot (much more unique in software context) to element. I assume riot was not investor friendly which is a lame ass reason too.

Vim commandline goes :BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Another thing that's hard to quit.

How to turn off that vim wand

[–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

just say you prefer nano,
it will instantly kill the vibe

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

I'm a micro fan myself, but I imagine that'll give the same results

[–] Zink@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago

Why doesn’t this damn thing have a simple off switch like everything else?

Greybeard/greypube: “Ahhctually it is fast and simple and it’s not funny that noobs can’t rtfm. How hard is it to remember squeeze, twist, remove?”

Classic VIM. It's not intuitive and probably won't get the job done unless you really know what you're doing.

[–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 6 months ago (3 children)

🤔 wondering what the emacs equivalent would be

[–] rem26_art@kbin.social 26 points 6 months ago

i think emacs can probably already do that with the right plugins

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 11 points 6 months ago

Apparently, ice cream.

There are also several financial institutions named emaqs:-P

And an Employee Management and Compensation System in California:-D.

neo(n orange)vim

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 months ago

Does it have plugin support?

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Vagina instant massaging

For quality battery one's, it's not, but these may be dropshipping garbage.

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hitachi still top dog. And is 150.

But the vim is nice for people who want to be able to start at a lower speed.

Def worth the cost.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hitachi hasn't made them since 2013, but the quality ones are up there, yes.

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

They still are made by Hitachi, but they changed the name to stop the association
