I switched to linux a year ago and in that year had less problems than on Windows. I had some minor problems after updates once or twice. On Windows i had to boot into restore mode…

On World 6-3, if i use i.e. d3j to delete the 3 lines it deletes the current line + the 3 below. Vim generally treats commands like that as "do this X times including the current l…

I think the reason to use and teach those keys first, is that they can be used in all the motions aswell. The arrow keys can´t and thus do not really make much sense in a vi contex…

I think it's a valid analogy in some contexts. Like when talking to a person that is not aware of non-determinism and hallucinations. Which happens on this website very frequently.…

That's a bit like asking 'Why is Harry Potter not a middle aged white woman?'. Because writers of fiction don't have to write about themselves and readers of fiction don't always h…

It's not. This is how the free version of Outlook that comes with Windows displays ads.
