I’d like actual examples instead of “I work faster”, something like “I can move straight to the middle of the file with 7mv” or “I can keep 4 different text snippets in memory and paste each with a number+pt, like 2pt”, things that you actually use somewhat frequently instead of what you can do, but probably only did once.
- Ctrl-shift-}
- How often do you want to delete exactly 9 words? It’s much easier if this is interactive.
- Not a common task IMO.
- Ctrl-F and click a button. This is rare enough that a button click is fine.
- Not sure what you mean by “jagger files” but I find multiple cursors are a lot easier to get right than e.g. regex replace because they give you instant feedback. Vim sequences are more like “oh you got it wrong, better start from scratch”.
1 is just going to highlight right?
2, how about 6 words, 10 words, 100 words
3, 4 I use all the time
5 if your edit locations don’t line up so that you can alt drag a single column, this is what I mean by jagged. I would use a combination of find and repeat action.
Start from scratch - skill issue :p
how about 6 words, 10 words, 100 words
Yes exactly my point. How often do you need to delete exactly 100 words? Do you count them? Obviously not - you probably guess and delete 50, and then 25 and then 20 etc.
