my typing speed is good but for some reason I've just habitually learned to touch type since childhood without using my right pinky at all, I just reach over with my middle two fingers... I tried doing a vim tutorial and it made me suddenly hyper conscious of my deficiencies...
My brother's apparently been down this road before, pointed me here. Slower than normal because I was trying to reprogram my brain to use the right fingers, still felt decent by the end of it https://www.keybr.com/
my pinkie tendon hurts from all the P typing... it's not used to being strained this way... domino chain from "wants to learn vim properly" to giving myself tendonitis...
it just seems silly to learn a whole massive electron IDE like VS Code when I know I'm only gonna use 2% of the features. I've been doing love2d work in zerobrane which is lua-specific, I want a nice lightweight general option
@farawaythyer do you mean visual studio? vs code acts like a pretty good text editor most of the time
@farawaythyer i also recommend vscodium over vs code bc of microsoft shit
@jazz I'm a baby programmer and I know there's nothing wrong with using vs code, it is an electron app though and if I'm mostly just text editing I'd rather use something tiny and native
@farawaythyer @jazz ive been using sublime text for 10+ years and absolutely love it, but you do need to do some hand-twiddling for LSP support etc so i dont recommend it to people. vscode (vscodium) is Fine, it's not obscenely bloated considering how much you'll get out of the popular ecosystem, it'll really be worth it imhobbq

@toffy @jazz I've gotta figure this stuff out on my own the same way y'all did, I'm not doing it for work so I can afford to take my time exploring xD

(also it's good to see you toffee <3 )
