(First, post the link. If you like it, just collect it.)

In the eyes of many people, embedded engineers are just people who adjust boards and write low-level codes. They cannot make cool CSS animations, but they earn one-tenth of the salary of people who make apps on the Internet, and their work is much more difficult than theirs.

They have all kinds of frameworks and libraries, and they also have a resource-rich GitHub to use. It seems that we embedded programmers have nothing in common. Are their tools really completely incompatible with ours?

Today I will introduce you to a hardcore tool - Vim

Vim is called the God of Editors

Vim is a text editor developed from vi . It has rich functions for convenient programming, such as code completion, compilation, and error jump, and is widely used by programmers. It is the most popular editor for Unix-like system users, along with Emacs .

Among my many programmer friends, there are quite a few heavy Vim users. They pursue concise and efficient writing, and they also recommended this versatile editing method to me.

Now I write almost all my codes in VS code, C/C++/VBA/Python, and they are all perfectly compatible.

Combined with the editor's automatic incompleteness and highlighted alignment line display, it is absolutely perfect. It is basically difficult for users to get rid of it once they use it because it is so good.

I even used vim when writing my blog, although I just jumped around and deleted text.

Throwing out ideas

Without taking your hands off the keyboard, your coding efficiency will be increased by 30%. HJKL----left, bottom, top, right, you can quickly find the place you want to modify in any embedded code.

CVGreat! 70% of our beginners' codes are learned from others' codes, so copying and pasting is a must.

Some basic operations, such as when you need to declare some variables during programming, you can simply copy and modify them

• yy + p copies a line
• f; Position to the semicolon
• hciw deletes to the beginning of the previous word and enters insert mode

Final Thoughts

Good tools can help you get twice the result with half the effort. For example, I don’t use the code interface of Keli Modelism ISE anymore. I will code everything I want in vscode + Vim, and then use the tool to compile.

Finally, here is a simple command diagram.

I recommend VScode. If you like vi, you can use plug-ins.

Thanks to the moderator for sharing. I have a hard time moving the cursor when using vi. It seems I need to learn it well!

Correct answer, for me, who writes a lot of complicated and simple vscode, it is concise and efficient, which is exactly what I need.

Habit becomes nature. It only takes three days to get familiar with it. Then you can move quickly with numbers and hjkl.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for sharing. I have always heard about the benefits of vim. It is time to find time to play with this editor.

In fact, Vim is not an editor, it is an editing method. Everyone has their own preferences for editors. You can install Vim plug-ins on any editor you like, such as vscode, sublime, and notepad.

Vim is a variant of VI, which is the official command line editor of the Unix system. The early version of vi only had editing functions, and later added syntax highlighting, macro commands, teleprompters and other functions. It has gradually developed to the present.

Correct answer. The additional functions are becoming more and more enjoyable to use, and it has developed from the original single editor to a plug-in tool with various functions.

The best thing about vim is that you don’t need a mouse. No mouse, no mouse!

Yes, there is no need to click with the mouse, and it is very comfortable to use all kinds of shells and conf.

I spent a long time learning how to use vim, but now I can basically use the mouse without using shortcut keys. . .

Hahahaha, habit becomes nature, use it more and you will become familiar with it without having to learn it deliberately.

Now I only know the most basic operations of vim, and I have forgotten all the various plug-ins and shortcut keys.

In fact, if you don't use it, you will forget it. Unless you do intensive programming for four or five years, you may not forget it.

However, you will become familiar with the shortcut keys after using them, so you don’t need to remember them deliberately.

I felt the power of vi when I started learning it.

But I still feel uncomfortable at first, so I have to keep practicing to master it.

In addition, my Ubuntu computer is equipped with a Japanese keyboard, so the feeling of "man on man" is really too sour

Temporarily escape back to gVim, a half-baked editor, to slow down for a while

suncat

I have never used VIM. But I have used vi. VI is very convenient in command line editor. But now users often develop in projects. There are IDEs such as .NET, Eclipse, Keil, etc. that can easily display and organize multi-file projects. Isn't their purpose to replace command line editors?

If you can use VSC or something like that, use it. If you can't use VIM or something like that, it takes time to learn and memorize a bunch of shortcut keys.

Brother VSC, it’s so good to install a vim plug-in. Now I can’t code anymore.
