  • Just get used to

    • using movement (hjkl),
    • going between insert and normal modes (i and esc),
    • undoing (u from normal mode),
    • and saving (:w and :wq).

    Don’t try to do it all at first, just get comfortable with the essentials. You can even just stay in insert mode (the only mode in most editors) at first.

    Keep a vim basics cheat sheet handy for a couple weeks as you’re building in muscle memory, then slowly work in more advanced techniques and combinations.

    It doesn’t take long before you start having a lot of fun just manipulating text.

    PS here’s a decently basic cheat sheet I found: image describing basic vim keyboard bindings and commands













  • I used to think that. But the amount of people hiding it, or just coping, is probably higher than you think.

    Like I live in a pretty small city with an average gay community, and all it took was one person coming out as trans for a bunch of others to go “oh you know what me too - let’s do this,” so now we have like a whole posse of trans men that I see at the gym all the time (with their gains and their cool names lol).

    I’m not saying this is always the case by any stretch, but if someone is super butch or super femme, they might not be cis.





  • I think there’s a healthy hue somewhere in between those two maybe. Like my family are my biggest cheerleaders, and definitely incepted me with the idea that I am special and can do anything.

    But we never talked about being rich, famous, or compared ourselves to exceptional figures. Probably some working class self leveling behaviour at play there, but it left me feeling I could do anything, but not like it was expected.

    I wonder if this desire for fame or absolutely recognition is more a phenomenon in the U.S. I don’t know anyone personally who actually desires it.
