So just to be clear I went with a very lazy move to linux from windows. I was not looking to use my day to day in a unixy type way and wanted something that I can install and go without much muss or fuss. So I went with zorin and yeah I have dropped to the command line for some apt installs or such but bascially it was only as needed. Very minimal. Anyway today Im messing with folders and files and suddenly it hit me. Im on linux I can do a lot of this easier with the command line. I know its stupid but my day to day sorta has a mouse brain guie mode and I sorta forget how much easier it is to do some stuff using syntax. So going forward im going to be bringing up the command line to do the things that are quicker.
EDITED - guys I have used command line for years. before there even was a gui. Im trying to say I grew out of the habit but using linux at home is getting me back into it.
I loved osx, particularly how intuitive the shift+command-+… keybinds were when navigating to all the important places.
…you might like Vim. Comes with command ‘vimtutor’ for an approachable (and imo, fun) tutorial.
listening to this guy talk about it got me hooked 😸
I doubt im going to start using vim again but it could happen. never really got into emacs but have sorta went back and forth with vim and nano at the command line. Its a bit of a pain remembering things but ill admit when you do you can do things quickly. I sorta felt the same about command line. Previous to this I was only dropping down when I had to but this was the first in awhile were I used it preferentially over the gui alternative so who knows.
I find kakoune scheme better than vim, and helix got a better default package of it. (Basically it reverse Vim’s action noun, into selection action. So that you may have multi-cursors, and see your selection before deleting it).
The downside is that GUI program may propose a VIM mode, but not (yet?) an kak/hx mode. Sad because to me it looks much more like a GUI does things.
