I've become a heretic. I started to like #Emacs more and more. Don't get me wrong I like the simplicity of #Vim/#Vis, but #Emacs can be modified to be anything you want. I also like #Lisp.

what are *your* neopronouns, emacs user?

tnoremap <C-]> <C-\><C-N>

also, did you know that `C-]` works like `Esc`. i don't know why.

@djsundog I actually learned microemacs before vi (stevie, then elvis) on my ST, MIT Scheme has edwin which is emacs but Scheme-coded, and much later the NeXTstep/Mac text areas all take emacs keys. But I'm so much better adapted to vi/Vim and just writing shell scripts as filters, than fucking around with a giant emacs.el for 30 years. I like an editor that starts instantly, not in 30-60s.

Vim scripting is useful these days, but I really just use it to hotkey my filters instead of :!foo
#vim

Realized in terminal I was running system vim:
VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Jul 2 2023 20:19:01)
macOS version - x86_64
Included patches: 1-1544
Compiled by root@apple.com
Normal version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

Because `packadd comment` from 9.1 was failing.

But find the mvim script (which calls the MacVim.app ... internals) and
ln -s mvim vim

And now:
VIM - Vi IMproved 9.1 (2024 Jan 02, compiled Oct 23 2024 14:24:06)
macOS version - x86_64

packadd comment
seems to Just Work™, gcc (no relation) to toggle comment a line, V<move>gc to do region, etc.

Tho it doesn't understand Schemers use ; for inline, ;; important, #| block |#. Will see what I can configure, or just keep using my comment script.

getregion should be useful, I have a couple actions I want to make easier.

FIX TAB REORDERING. WHEW.

When we read books, in real life, we turn pages. Indeed, scrolling book would be so inconvenient, most likely a miserable experience.

Why we do scroll so much when we read on PC screens is a mystery to me.

We also scroll like there's no tomorrow when we code.

#Emacs and #Vim get this right (respectively with `C-l (recenter-top-bottom)` and `zz`, `zt`, `zb`)
