    If you copy/paste code from a teaching book, you will probably not learn as well as if you type it. Typing itself is irrelevant, it is the timing spent, even if only seconds, ponde…

    With pleasure, ^i in a textarea or even input element brings your text in GVim then saving brings you back. Really handy feature to bring regexes or text navigation to any Webpage.…
