It’s unfortunate that nothing really has Kakoune bindings other than Kakoune.
That’s indeed very unfortunate…
And after you type the ‘2w’, the selection shows what you’re about to delete, because it’s a separate command.
That genuinely seems like very useful functionality. Thanks for pointing that out!
Sure, you can use visual mode in vim but it feels like an afterthought in a lot of ways.
Could you perhaps give some examples so that I can better understand/grasp why you feel that’s the case?
Those two are I think the main reasons I like Kakoune.
I haven’t really had problems with it, at least. Maybe because I’ve used vim for a long time before Kakoune. TBH I also don’t really use vim a lot anymore except on one remote machine that isn’t mine.
I am very grateful to you for sharing your experiences as a long time Vim user that currently prefers Kakoune over it. It has definitely impressed me and made me a lot more curious towards it. And I genuinely feel like I should think this over properly before I rashly commit to Vi(m). Thank you for raising such awareness!
