| kalorin` | I have eclipse for programming |
| intelikey | they both run in a gui.... that's about the end of the comparison |
| flaccid | it depends what you are coding. if you need more features than editing, thats what IDEs are for.. |
| kamui | there in lies the beauty of vim its an ide/text editor/ultimate editor. |
| apus | anyone know where I can get info on seeding the torrent for tomorrow |
| imagine | vi sux |
| kalorin` | vim is very powerful, no question |
| jtt | yurimxpxman, original vi was not gui only command line |
| kalorin` | I love vim |
| daskreech | !adeptcrashfix |
| flaccid | but what features specifically are you talking about? |
| ubotu | If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a |
| imagine | I only use vi for editing config file |
| yurimxpxman | jtt: I'm running it in a terminal |
| flaccid | its cool to say its ultimate but why |
| kamui | flaccid: I say that because it can do just about anything you want it to do |
| jtt | yurimxpxman, ok type :1 see it it goes to line 1 of the file |
| flaccid | kamui: thats a useless comment. it can't cook eggs for me |
| jtt | yurimxpxman, thats colon followed by 1 |
| yurimxpxman | jtt: Thanks! That works! :D How do you show more than one line at a time then? |
| kamui | flaccid: that was also a useless comment, who wants a text editor to cook eggs |
| action | intelikey 's been trying for a month to get vim to make his bed |
| intelikey | 's been trying for a month to get vim to make his bed |
| kamui | :) |
| hitmanWilly | i do... |
| jtt | yurimxpxman, :1,5p |
| flaccid | kamui: you never specified a limit. you said that it can do just about anything |
| sonicchao | Okay. you know the backround in konqueror? |
| hitmanWilly | it would save me a lot of work :) |
| jtt | yurimxpxman, you ar taxing my memory |
| yurimxpxman | jtt: You are my hero! :D |
| kamui | well flaccid: for a programmer I can understand that you really think the sky's the limit |
| flaccid | so if you have no actual argument for vim.. |
| sonicchao | (say you were looking at trash:/ how do I change the background behind the icons?) |
| flaccid | its called UoD |
| jtt | yurimxpxman, it takes most of the commands you would normally type at the prompt in the gui that is |
| kamui | but in all seriousness, it can be used for almost anything related to text editing and data entry |
