Over 20 years ago we decided to learn to touchtype, to do this we switched our layouts to #dvorak . It worked and the bandwidth with witch we could transfer ideas into the machine rose immensely.
Now recently we decided to up the ante and try learning #vimmotions ( better late then never). Same as with dvorak the learning process is delightfully miserable :)
Interestingly even with very clumsy use of perhaps 10 motions, I start to find editing text without them increasingly annoying :P
The list might grow over the year too😁:
1) Rust
2) Jujutsu VCS
3) Nushell
4) helix motions
5) Nix - much more deeper
6) Pulumi
7) GCP
8) Zellij
9) Tailscale / Netbird (or anything wireguard based)
etc
And more importantly I want to share
my learning journey, findings etc
If u are a fellow learner too of any of these, let's connect😁

#Keybindings are defined all over the place. To give me a structure I think this hierarchy will help:
- Global: System
- Ghostty: Terminal
- Bash: Shell
- Starship: Prompt
- tmux: Session mgnt
- Neovim: Active app
Goal is to intuitively know which of the above a keybind is for.
Which is complicated since tons of commands, utilities, helpers, plugins... often integrates with more than one.
My base is #VimMotions and plan is to iterate tweaking as I learn by using.
Now the real fun begins 🤪
I just spent 30 seconds trying to use Vim motions, and wondering why they weren't working. I use them so naturally in other applications, that it feels awkward when they don't work.
Then I remembered: It's because LIbreOffice doesn’t support Vim motions.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'd love to see LibreOffice add a setting for Vim motions. The Obsidian team has a great approach to protect the uninitiated.
I just realized, the time I invested in #vimmotions and #vim is slowly paying off. It became so much easier to jump, edit or delete something in code, switch buffers, split views and do repetitive tasks #makro.
So keep exercising my #vimmuscles
