Why Chatgpt and not Gemini? Also why no vpn? You could have put VPN by Google

real G's use ed
It's standard for a reason.
You know what else is standard? strcmp in C with user input.
If you know you know.
But I don't need an editor, do you see an editor somewhere in the infographics? Thought so.
If you use Vim you'll never use any other software
I would respond.. but I canβt figure out how to exit Vim
<badumtss.gif>
That silly program can't trick me! I used Vim last year and I'm totally able to use other programs!
...I just have to use Vim also at all times!

Even though I regularly use vim for editing files, so many shortcuts and commands are still unknown. How would one approach this issue without reading the man page? Asking for a friendβ¦
vimtutor is the starting point for learning vim, but it's fairly surface-level. To actually learn vim, you should read through the user manual by typing :help usr_01 and hitting enter in vim. It's also accessible online here: https://vimhelp.org/usr_01.txt.html#usr_01.txt.
It's a fairly quick read, about 40ish pages that are reasonably short and is intended to be read straight through like a book. It provides a good overview of all of vim's features.
Note: this is distinct from the reference manual, which is much, much larger and isn't intended to be read straight through.

Text editors should be simple and approachable above all. Nano is undeniably the best by this definition.
I've been daily driving nano for years, I wish it was less of an afterthought when people debate text editors.
As a simple terminal editor with no bells and whistles it works great, I used it a lot at my last job when I had to make a small tweek on a program that was loaded on the "build server".
It's simple, easy to use, and doesn"t fight you.
"Ed is the standard text editor."
Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:
golem> ed
?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C

^C

Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is
generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
the novice with verbosity.
"Ed is the standard text editor."
Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.
ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED
AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS
BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN
SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!
When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!!
Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!
ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!
TEXT EDITOR.
When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their
"edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely
you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.
Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on. If you
are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should
not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE
SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE
FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

I have a question: I sadly still use my Gmail for many 'official' purposes and anything I need to pay to (I promise I will delete my Amazon account within the next year or so... especislly since those fuckers dont even let you archive or delete your own purchase history!), but I will need some access to my Gmail account. Anyway I can do this without giving Google everything?
You have invented "emacs -nw"
