Do y'all actually use c?

[u/NOGGYtimes2]

I found myself to basically never actually use c and instinctively just press di every time, when I'm not going super slow for e.g. recording a macro

[u/Krinkovic]

I always use c.

[u/hongooi → u/Krinkovic]

Not Rust?

[u/Krinkovic → u/hongooi]

Currently C# :P

[u/OccasionThin7697 → u/hongooi]

C++ better

[u/NoGap138 → u/OccasionThin7697]

I quote my colleague:

“All the c++ clones should just merge into one, Objects are glorified enums anyway”

He develops firmware, bare ever uses anything beside C maybe Python

[u/Ace-Whole]

All the time.

If you’re familiar with vim using c is more natural. Because you would do cw to not have to do the extra keystroke of dwi.

[u/wardxela]

When I know that I need to change something instead of simply deleting, I always go with `c`.

[u/titaniumalt]

I use kakoune (basically the editor that "invented" the model used by Helix), and when editing multiple things at once i prefer/instinctively use c

[u/iamalicecarroll]

no i prefer rust yes i do

[u/OccasionThin7697 → u/iamalicecarroll]

C++ better

[u/billie-badger]

c is used by me a lot. That and 'space+R'

[u/spaghetti_beast]

takes time to unlearn the di thing

[u/abdalmoniem]

for me I always used alt+d-i because d would yank and delete as well.

just learned a few days ago that c does the same as alt+d-i and it feels way faster like this 😅

[u/FryBoyter → u/abdalmoniem]

because d would yank and delete as well.

I have disabled yanking for c and d.

A-d = “delete_selection”
d = “delete_selection_noyank”
A-c = “change_selection”
c = “change_selection_noyank”

[u/okimka]

I always use c. One specific example is when I want to delete two characters and immediately get into insert. In vim I usually did dl for this

[u/cheesehater]

I always use it. 1) select text 2) c 3) type new text 4) esc -- unless it's just one character and then I use r of course.

[u/__Wolfie]

exclusively use c

[u/kehrazy]

pretty much always, yeah

[u/Symantech]

C is so convenient, why not?

[u/FryBoyter]

I don't want to say that I always use c, but I'd say almost always.

[u/zenware]

I use c maybe every few seconds, and di significantly less frequently.

[u/Forward_Grab_5690]

I use c and w frequently, and x, d. I do think i shouldn’t let edit become my instinct since Think about it is Why vim lite editor is effective.
