不久前,我读了viemu创建者的一篇文章,澄清了许多关于vi的误解,并解释了为什么它是一个好主意(以及为什么它在过去30多年里非常流行)。同一个人还有一套很棒的图形备忘单,每次教一些基本知识。

我相信。

事实上,在过去的两年里,我一直被说服。但是我仍然没有强迫自己学习vi作为我的主要编辑器,学习曲线太高了。当我开始工作时,可接受的但即时的生产力(使用我当前的编辑器)到目前为止已经超过了进一步的巨大生产力(使用vi)。

有没有人有什么好的建议来帮助你度过学习曲线?它可以是直接的提示,一些其他教程或文章,无论什么。

编辑:注意,我知道vi的vim/gVim, Cream和MacVim(等等)变体。我的问题是指vi家族作为一个整体。谢谢你的精彩回答。

更新(2009年4月)

自去年12月以来,我一直在日常的职业生活中使用Vim(更准确地说,是MacVim)。我不会回去的。

祝大家在掌握Vim的过程中好运。

嗯,这更像是一个生理学问题,而不是一个编程问题,但我能做我真的不想做的事情的最好方法就是去做,不要再想办法激励自己去做。

就把它想象成刷牙。你需要激励自己去做这件事吗?不,你只管做。

您要求获得一些好的技巧来帮助您度过vi文本编辑器的学习曲线。以前的许多答案建议您不要使用其他编辑器。我认为这是一个很好的建议。从更图形化的编辑器切换到vi需要改变心态。它需要从命令的角度思考,而不是从视觉变化的角度。

I used nothing but vi for many years and believe the only way you can be productive is to memorize the commands you regularly use. The way I did this was to make a short list of the most common keyboard commands. I grouped and color-coded these commands by function, i.e. Moving the Cursor, Editing, Searching, etc. I was careful to only include the most commonly used commands I did not know. The idea is to create a quick reference that is also an aid in memorization – not to replace the available help screens. Then I printed this list and taped it to the wall behind my monitor so I could see it easily. (The graphical cheat sheets you mentioned might work better for some, but are probably a better reference source than a memorization tool.)

Here's the key. As I became comfortable with one of the commands, I drew a line through it with a pencil. I could still see it if I needed it, but it was symbolic to me that I had mastered that command. That gave me confidence and motivation as I could see regular progress. Once I had most of them crossed off, I removed them and added some of the more rarely used commands. I continued this process until I was satisfied with my command of vi. I knew I had reached that point when I realized I had not crossed off any commands or even looked at the list in a long time.

几年前,我需要在一个UNIX平台上工作,其中vi是唯一可用的编辑器。我买了一本关于vi的袖珍参考书,但几乎没用过。最后,我像第一次使用vi一样做了清单,并把它们贴在墙上。到第一周结束时,我感到非常舒服,尽管我已经有五年没有使用vi了。

你可以得到一个原始的快乐黑客键盘(没有方向键),每次开始编辑时把你的(无线)鼠标放在你够不到的地方。

将系统上的每个终端编辑器符号链接到vim,并将系统上的每个图形化编辑器符号链接到一个脚本,该脚本将打开一个运行vim的新终端窗口。

不使用X11?

$ sudu rm /usr/local/bin/emacs

将登录shell更改为vi?

首先,强迫自己使用ed,那么vi就会显得很奢侈吗?

在bash中使用vi键绑定?

开始一直使用vi ?

在我看来,学习一个编辑器和学习一门语言并没有太大的不同。沉浸式效果最好。

我使用vi进行快速编辑,或者当我因为某些原因不能使用X11时,但我生活在emacs中。真正强大的编辑器是值得花时间学习的。

虽然我是vi的忠实粉丝,特别是vim,但有很多功能强大的编辑器,你不应该觉得你必须使用vi,或者它在某种程度上是某种绝对完美的编辑器,因为它不是。

If you have to force yourself to use vi, I would be concerned that you don't feel productive using it. However, if you insist on persisting, I would probably just make sure I used vi for every single editing task. Whenever I need to do something and I don't quite no the best way to do it, I'd try to find the optimal (in terms of minimal keystrokes) to do it in vi after I did it a non-optimal normal way. I'd then make a post-it note with this little tip (or maybe just a text file) so I would remember it for next time.

随着时间的推移,您使用vi的效率将显著提高。
