Whaaaa? I heard about some plugins that execute Python, but not Lua/LÖVE...

#!/bin/sh

if [ -f $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_DIR/main.lua ]
then
gnome-terminal --title="console" -x love .
elif [ -f $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_DIR/../main.lua ] 
then
gnome-terminal --title="console" -x love ..
else
echo "No main.lua Found!"
fi

As for "getting it," imagine instead of just typing and whatever you're typing is now up on the screen, imagine that you're having a conversation with the text editor. For instance, the first command everyone learns is insert, which I disagree with, because After is a much more useful command to me. But in your head, the conversation goes "after type some text escape back to start find word replace with new word highlight yank go down some lines paste" and so on and so forth, which each easy thing you want to do being a single letter command.

This classic stackoverflow post talks about "groking vi" and says basically the same thing. After you've done it for a while it becomes second nature.

The problem is that the muscle memory starts to interfere with your other text editors. Like in thunderbird I try to copy and paste some text and end up with garbage like "veyp" (visual end yank past) in the middle of the sentence.

Do you have any recommendation for where to continue after finishing vimtutor? It teaches the basic commands, and for everything else I started googling commands, but I think vim is only really useful when you understand the commands you're writing - and googling them usually doesn't help much.

Inny wrote: As for the best way to learn vim once you've run the vimtutor is to immerse yourself. Try doing regular stuff, like working on Lua code, with vim. Vim has built-in help modes and usually typing :help subject can get you pointed in the right direction. Also, get yourself a good vim cheat sheet and read up on each of the buttons.

Germanunkol wrote:Yes, I haven't touched another editor since doing the tutor. But there's a few things I'm unsure about which aren't touched in any cheat sheets. For example: Vim tries to make you navigate with the hjkl keys. This works well after some practice, but in input mode, they're not available. What do you use to navigate in input mode? Or is the idea to exit input mode, navigate, and then move back into input mode? The latter seems more convenient than using the cursor keys...?
