Once you start getting comfy using Vim you’ll inevitably arrive to that honeymoon phase where you yearn to have Vim available everywhere: all your editors, your browser, your email, your terminal, Vim everywhere! Vim all the things!
Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on a VSCode extension to help you learn vim within VSCode. This talk is a summary of some of the things I’ve learned along the way and its goal is to show you how easy it is to get started and encourage you to write your own extensions. Have fun!
As I was writing JavaScriptmancy, Boost Your Coding Fu with VSCode and Vim and Wizards Use Vim I’ve always envisioned a more interactive way to teach through practice, play and games. Life happens and I sort of got as far as writing but never much further. I left those cool ideas of interactive learning, roguelikes, RPG-esque JavaScript, Vim platformers archived somewhere at the bottom of bottomless TODO lists, half-remembered thoughts and someday/maybes…
Just some weeks ago I made a talk about TypeScript, how we do TypeScript at Google and the TypeScript type system. I hope you’ll enjoy it. I think it came out quite fun (If I may say so myself).
In this 5 minutes of Vim goodness we’ll learn how to effectively copy, cut and paste things in Vim by taking advantage of Vim’s registers and a cool plugin. Here we go!
