For me, it was how I learned Vim. The awkward keyboard pushed me towards learning more efficient keystrokes, so now I'm very comfortable with Vim. I would learn it on the bus, and …

It's actually a bit more nuanced: `:x` is like `:wq`, but only writes if changes have been made. `:x!` has the same semantics as `:wq!`.

> Also, without some sort of indicator, Vim’s modal design is awkward here—it’s very easy to forget which mode you’re in. With `bash`, you can show which mode you're in by putting …

Cool. I didn't know about "Ctrl+T, Ctrl+Z"; I've always used "Alt+D, Alt+Enter" to duplicate tabs. This other shortcut might come in handy if I want to immediately edit the URL.

Not as quick as you're asking for, but what I do, after running "git log" to jog my memory of what the commit message was, is this: git commit --fixup=':/message regexp' This will …

Lead sheets?

This is incredible. I'm learning so much by just reading the source code and trying it out.

It's called the Imperative Mood[0]. I like to think of it as though I'm completing this statement: "If you apply this patch, this commit will [Do The Thing™]". Here's a few example…

Not quite there with the scanning part, but https://supercook.com comes close.

Cascadia Mono/Code, depending if I feel like having ligatures: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code It has the option to enable cursive italics, which is disabled by default.…

Another alternative is OpenWeatherMap: https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-3 It's not quite a drop-in replacement, but it's pretty close. They have a free plan for 1,000 calls/…

> git stash‘s new --staged mode makes it easy to stash away what you already have in the staging area, and nothing else. Sweet! I've been wanting this feature for a while. See also…

Neat. I'll add this to my toolbox. Somewhat unrelated: I discovered some time ago that the column command (from util-linux) can print trees of hierarchical data (up to 2 levels dee…

Huh, learn something new everyday. Thanks!

The docs for this is in `:help v_CTRL-A`. It should actually say VISUAL BLOCK mode. This is where you use `CTRL-v` to select a block of text. You can read more in `:help blockwise-…

I recently discovered the `-brief` flag to ip(1). It shows a summary table for the address and link commands that can be easier to read than the default output.

Enter git rerere: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rerere This will "REuse REcorded REsolutions" of conflicted merges. Once enabled, it will record how a merge conflict was resolved, a…

Is this like an iOS alternative to Termux? How does it compare? https://termux.com

git diff --color-moved This makes git diff highlight reindented or moved lines differently. I use it to get diffs similar to when you pass -w, but with a bit more context. It takes…
