# Text Editor

[Vim](https://www.vim.org/) is my favourite text editor (I use [Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim)). It has changed completely how I interact with text. Any editor that forces you to use a mouse is wasting your time.

Think of using Vim commands as composing sentences. Take a "verb"' `d` (delete) + a "subject" `w` (word) and a whole word is deleted. It's easier than pressing `ctrl + shift + right arrow + delete` in a normal editor.

Vim spoiled me to the point that I use vim-like movement to browse the web ([vimium](https://github.com/philc/vimium)).

My [.vimrc](https://github.com/psto/dotfiles/blob/master/init.vim) file and my [Vim plugins](https://wiki.stojanow.com/tools/text-editor/vim-plugins).
