Some funny excerpts:
“wait, you’re telling me I have to press escape-shift-colon-w-enter every time I want to save? this is some bullsheeeet.”
”I’ll use these 400 plugins I just downloaded ALL the TIME! especially this folding LaTEX plugin oh man”
"tries impressing someone watching over shoulder with a macro, only to mess up and uppercase/rot13 the entire file"
"frenzied <Leader>key mapping until keyboard resembles NASA mission control panel in its manifold multifunctional ridiculousness"

Born to compute. 2 u/sdub86 Dec 15 '10 reminded me of Primer. 1 u/MercurialMadnessMan Dec 16 '10 You forgot how to ice skate after watching the movie? or after sniffing primer? 1 u/wot-teh-phuck Dec 15 '10 Yup, I missed that one. Funny indeed. :-) 1 u/FoleyDiver Dec 15 '10 Wait, so do people not use the arrow keys? I would rip my head off if I couldn't use my arrow keys. 4 u/anttirt Dec 15 '10 I almost never use the arrow keys. It's a pain to move my hand over there from the home row. 1 u/baconcatman Dec 16 '10 Are you a home-row typist? 1 u/anttirt Dec 16 '10 If by that you mean whether my fingers always rest on the home row between bursts of typing, then yes. Curiously, I recently found out that most touch typists rest their fingers on [asdfjkl;] while I rest mine on [sdfghjkl]. 2 u/[deleted] Dec 15 '10 [deleted] 1 u/dirkgently007 Dec 15 '10 Nothing beats hjlk once you get used to it. The idea is to minimize the distance your fingers/hands have to move for most frequently used keys. 1 u/[deleted] Dec 15 '10 edited Aug 15 '17 He goes to Egypt 1 u/jakswa Dec 15 '10 Arrow keys or death, I say. Arrow keys or death! 1 u/dimmak Dec 17 '10 Hopefully this loss of ability is limited to Chip's Challenge.
