Everything vim

My slow descend into insanity due to Vim

Can anyone recognise my morse coded "S.O.S", constructed through the use of the high-pitch beep error notification sounds made by Vim?

Dr Maxwell Maltz once said that it takes 21 days for a habit to be formed. However, I beg to differ, it only took 2 labs for Vim to permanently corrupt any previous semblance of proper typing habits I had.

My journey towards self-destruction began when I first took 2030 and was introduced to the wicked machination known as Vim. Unlike any other Java IDEs out there, Powershell + Vim was probably the single worst combination I could have ever encountered. It was like choosing to return to clay tablets after the invention of paper and pen, except that the clay tablets also blasted an annoying beep sound every time you made a mistake.

Despite the seemingly unintuitiveness of Vim, like the deletion of characters in front of the current text marker and the initial confusion of jumping between insertion mode or command mode, this was all squared away by the god awful high pitched beep that cascaded out of my laptop speakers. It was only through pure agony and torture which quickly aided to Pavlov me from a once well adjusted normal keyboard typer into a Soldier of Vim.

I am now a Servant of Msys, only capable of following the dogmas of Vim:

• to press "i" before all insertions
• to press "x" to delete all that lies before us
• to press "u" to undo all that stands in our way

Vim is my Lord and Master, and through Msys shall his bidding be carried out. No longer do I engage in simpleton typing which is limited by a single modular system or a deletion method which is non-unidirectional.

I am now a Soldier of Vim and my cross "x" is ready to delete all those that stand to be corrected.

You got this Soldier of VIM!

In solidarity and in my quest for class part, I heed the request of the soldier himself to send this poster.
