[@a1k0n]

I was a constant user of qedit for C and assembler programming in the 90s. When I made the switch to Linux, I also gravitated toward joe initially, but eventually learned to get really good at vim. I spent a bit of time experimenting with emacs and lisp and scheme but now I'm back to good ol' vim. I can't even remember how to use qedit nowadays.

I still use CTRL+Insert, Shift+Insert and Shift+Delete in Windows 10 because they are easier to type than the regular cut-copy-paste commands when you use the Dvorak layout.

[@jaythomas3180]

No problem using ctr+x/c/v with Colemak. Vim's default direction keys on the other hand...

[@xthebumpx]

Yes! I found out the same thing. My biggest complaint about Dvorak is that I can't copy/paste with one hand (and that f is in a bad spot for my short fingers). For some reason though when copying from a spreadsheet preview in Outlook ctrl-insert doesn't work to copy.

[@jumhig]

Having just implemented support for"legacy" Ctrl-Insert etc in an application, I've realized that the main difference is that Ctrl_X scheme is designed for the left hand, while Ctrl-Insert scheme is designed for the right hand.

I have a project for you. write a shell in asm using templates so as all arguments and returns are not typed. you will have too write your own oop subsystem in asm to acheive this but the end result is the beginning of an undetectable root kit. keep up the great work and thanx for the php paper. I truly hated the idea of learning such a scripty language. your paper has made it so much easier.

“in asm - using templates - not typed” I think you may have a misunderstanding or two somewhere. Thanks for the feedback. (I also received your e-mails.) Your other comment was deleted by KZbin for some reason. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/hofPoJV6rrmkm7s

[@zzador]

It seems we both have nearly the same programming language history. Learned BASIC under MSDOS at the beginning of the 90ties. Then switched to TurboPascal, later BorlandPascal and from there to Turbo C++ 2.0 and from there to Borland C++ 3.1...What a journey. XD

[@dillon4321]

Very interesting. Speaking of editing and typing, do you have any keyboard preferences? Such as those ergonomically shaped ones? Any favourite mechanical keyboard switch? I wanted to upgrade my $20 membrane keyboard recently and my research has brought me deep into the world of mechanical keyboards...

[@Bisqwit]

I pretty much just use whichever keyboard is in front of me, as long as the keyboard _layout_ is not insane.

I wish IDEs/editors today had the ability to select from a great choice of bitmap fonts with all kinds of sizes... it's even difficult to find ones that just support bitmap fonts at all :( anti-aliased fonts look blurry to me so I prefer bitmap fonts (or fonts that look great aliased)

[@birdbrid9391]

do you know about this? int10h.org/ you can get ttf versions of old text mode fonts in 256 character set (Px437), and extended set (PxPlus) i have the same issue that i find antialiased fonts blurry, and prefer aliased bitmap text. here's a screenshot of my sublime using PxPlus TandyNew TV size 6: i.imgur.com/JOHOJZU.png and here's the fonts i settled with after trying them all: i.imgur.com/UzzplU0.png one for small, medium and large size

Ah the days of the Borland Turbo C++ Editor.. before Vi/Vim, that was my editor of choice. After I installed Slackware Linux, I did try emacs up until I found Vim and I've used Vim ever since. Never liked Joe or any of the other editors. Can't say I really tried them once I found my spirit-editor in Vim :P

[@roygalaasen]

Horrors of VI. I’d rather use Joe, but that is probably because it is closer to any other editor I used. I somehow never remembered to go into edit mode in Vi. The worst I used was edlin. (But now we are talking Microsoft.)

[@redemptusrenatus5336]

@@roygalaasen I can definitely see using something because it's familiar. It was the unnecessarily complex and obtuse nature of Vim that was immediately familiar to me as I could see myself in it ;) Then I also learned to use ed on purpose which I'm sure most people who don't have to, never would.

My muscle memory is emacs key bindings. Quite nice to have one binary, no configuration files, and it just works as expected out of the box. Every time. On every computer.

Bisqwit, which version Debian you use? And also you, as an experienced programmer, what you need to learn before any programming language?

[@Bisqwit]

I use the rolling “testing” branch of Debian, with some pulls from unstable/experimental if needed. For learning a programming language it depends how similar or dissimilar it is to languages I already know. A reference manual is usually the most important thing, followed by example code.
