I'm a Vim user, been one for 20 years, but one of the most retarded decisions in Vim was to allow to redefine keybindings by referencing other keybindings, I don't really see how could've anyone looked at it and said "yeah, that's a great idea".

it's a great idea when you do it for your own config. like snippets that use traditional vim motions to place your cursor at the right position.

of course when people start to rely on it for plugins, it heavily break if you've changed motion keybinds.

I might be white, but I'm not a tranny. So I'll have to decline.

vim is a gui.
it uses the terminal as a rendering backend that instead of pixels, relies on cells. it's just a variation. if your terminal doesn't respect that, e.g variable width cells, no support for standard osi/osc then vim doesn't work anymore.

it's the same thing if your browser decides to support a different kind of html, because websites make the implicit contracts that your browser will render html/css properly.

modal editors are annoying. many modifier keys exist for shortcuts, there's no need for separate modes.

What I meant to say is that why not just allow bindings to commands / series of commands instead of allowing to bind to existing bindings to create new bindings? It's so utterly retarded it's unreal.
>>
>>109176788
well, making snippets/macro would now be way longer and tedious. Also I don't think all motions have a clear command that replicates them

yeah, have fun changing the whole world to "vim keys" and suffer where you can't. I'd rather have IBM CUA everywhere as it mostly is.

>>109177240
so my options are
>use vim keys where i can and suffer where i cant
>dont use vim keys and suffer everywhere
hmm i wonder which one i will choose...

Use LazyVim (comes with Omarchy). I'm in Heaven.
