MY MAIN YT CHANNEL: Has well edited engineering videos

I’m here early enough that the sex bots haven’t been banned yet

[EddiKh]

Sometimes i look at programming videos and think to my self, what goes on the heads of people who are not in IT when they see those videos

[ronan]

Having recently got into vim, I have to admit that a good macro hits like crack

[TwistedMood]

The thing I like about vim motions is it’s like a mini game while you code. You have to press the right key combinations just like a video game. I find gamifying my workflow really works for me.

classic programmer moment of writing a macro to complete a task you could have done manually in 1/10 the time but it being SO WORTH IT ANYWAY

[heretc]

@@ or Q to play the last recorded macro, for anyone interested.

[bjbegui]

When you get to this level you will understand the enjoyment

[gfixler]

But the real fun is hitting @<whatever>, to test it, then seeIng you have 4 more lines, 2 examples each, and just hitting 8@@, and watching it do all of them in one shot.

This has changed my life! Keep them coming

[umapessoa]

I mean... I can just hold ALT, select the lines and press "." 😂

[wdnick]

Block/multi cursor solves this problem quite fast.

[kuhluhOG]

After using vim for over half a year (forcing myself through the default motions):
What I like about it: configurability, things like this
What I dislike about it: vim-motions, the fact that it's a modal editor

[endredomokos]

This looks like a multi carret dream (I'm definitely misspelling that, sry xD)

[NoProblem]

I’d do the same faster with multi cursors, select m, ctrl D till I find all m, move all cursors right by 2, put a dot, then select the letters, use “to lowercase” macro.

[veritas]

ctrl+v 5j shift+i "." esc l ctrl+v 5j u. Repeat on next column. 0 macros

[harsha]

It's moments like these that make me glad I know vim motions.

[_bradleystrider]

instead of @a u can just do Q to replay the last saved macro

[Sensei_gojo]

I know he’s using vim but can’t you use some shit like ctrl D after highlighting a text to find the matching text and add a cursor there so you can edit multiple lines at once.

[snooddagg]

This is something u can do pretty easily with multiple cursors in vs code too

[juststudying]

and goaaal.
His commenting seemed like football 😂😂😂
