Cancel the command you're in, transpose two letters, go forward one word and change formatting?

When I use an editor, I don't want eight EXTRA KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!!
Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

If in your opinion emacs is the only useful one, why the fuck are you asking about others.

I personally hate emacs, it requires far too much learning to understand how to do anything in it. I want an editor/parser to parse/edit code, not to fucking dance with it.
OP here btw.

s/emacs/vi/
Seriously, not an editor war, but vi has a much higher barrier to entry than emacs. If only because modal editing can be jarring if you aren't used to it.

OK
I had no problems with that, but OK. It is not my job to make anyone like EMACS.

emacs is modal too. the difference is that in vi you don't need to hold down 5 keys at once to keep it in command mode.

>>36 hold down 5 keys at once
You never have to hold down more then three keys at once, and most three-keyers have a two-key alias.

You sir, have clearly never used emacs. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I had to hold down 5 keys at once, hell 4 is a rarety. your .emacs may differ

I use the Dvorak keyboard layout, and I'll have you know that every time I touch my keyboard, nude Thai women start sensually massaging my wrists while magic pink flying unicorns give me blowjobs (metaphorically.)
I'll have you know I once executed a command chain involving every modifier key on my keyboard, plus a couple of extra ones I've mapped myself.
It hacked the Gibson, decrypted the machine code and formatted and sent the secret message to the Pope over SMTP, thereby averting the Illuminati's plot to instigate World War IV, V and VI (<- Coincidence? I think not!) to let Spain grow into a new superpower. Lastly it saved my work to disk and did a sync for good measure.
And that's why I'll love me my emacs 'till C-x C-c does us apart.
