I've been struggling along with Vim's "hard mode" plugin that's supposed to train you to use the "good
habits" instead of the "bad habits" that eventually will make you program better and faster. OK, I know what the
"bad habits" are, since they've been disabled (hjkl, backspace, and a few other things), but I'm having a tough time
figuring out what the "good habits" are. If you're not going to search, then are you pretty much always supposed to use
Ctrl-u and Ctrl-d to navigate through your code, and then when you spot a line that needs changed, type :(line number)? Because
that's pretty much the only way I've been able to move around. What if you're in visual mode and you therefore can't use the : to
run a command to get to the line number you want the visual block to end on? Does this mean you should never use visual mode? I'm
so confused. Help!
Vim is about Choice. Vim is about having several different ways (suiting
different people) to achieve the same results. If some plugin is
disabling a lot of keystrokes (including hjkl and Backspace, for
X-sake!) just to make you type the way *they* think is right, then
that's what is bad. Dogma runs contrary to all that is Vim (and to all
that is free-as-in-speech in general).
My 0.02 € advice: Junk that "hard mode" plugin.
Best regards,
Tony.
