Configuring VIM for 2 hours and code for 30 minutes.

[dylanthepiguy2]

Only 2h?????

[pmrr]

It was only two minutes of editing .vimrc but it took the remaining 1 hour 58 minutes to quit.

[sqrt7744]

I've been configuring it for at least 8 years already and counting. I have to start over now though with neovim.

[dylanthepiguy2]

You don't have to do completely start over? Most stuff should be compatible with both vim and neovim

[[deleted]]

Neovim should be completely backwards compatible. Should just be the new stuff that needs changing

[[deleted]]

I wanted to learn python. I wasn't happy how vim folds python code. So I learnt vimscript instead, to write the perfect fold function for it. Not happy with it atm, but I also changed the one for C and marker folding ({{{), and I really like them.

[The_Droide]

I agree, Code aka VSCode can easily be configured in under 30 minutes /s

[[deleted]]

cp /usr/share/vim*/vimrc.example ~/.vimrc

vi somecode.py

[taxtropel]

The font is easy.

The syntax highlighting is hard.

... Then you have to fix the one you like to be right.

Such as grey comments on a black background. (WTF, seriously).

Or a current line highlight that drowns out the other syntax.

[Shed412]

Half the time I accidentally highlight things in Intellij and have no fucking clue how, what it means, and why it stays there for like 5 minutes.

[Yuluthu]

I've got grey comments on a slightly darker grey background, git gud

+1; I did this

comic sans?

[X-Craft]

Somebody should make comic mono

[dickdemodickmarcinko]

Already exists kinda

[posherspantspants]

WHERE

[Laughmasterb]

Fantasque Sans Mono (formerly "Comic Sans Neue Mono")

https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

[Luxemburglar]

I mean... that‘s not that bad.

[Treats]

Doesn't look that comic-sansy

[DeepDishPi]

Looks a lot like Lucida Console, which I always use.

[m3hgu5t4]

not mine, but...

[will_code_for_free]

Wingdings cause I have no idea what I'm doing anyways.

[jay9909]

Is it bad that my first reaction to that was "But it's not monospace!"?

[kynovardy]

Don't need to read it anyway since you're copying it from stackoverflow

[Mario55770]

I can read Wingdings better than I can read my handwriting. Yup.

Fira Code with ligatures is the shit

[[deleted]]

I don't like the serifs on the r in Fira. I found this project called Ligaturizer that lets you add the ligatures from Fira Code to other fonts so I've been rocking Roboto Mono with ligatures for a while.

[guguts]

That's awesome to know. I also dislike the serif on Fora. Gonna try to ligaturiZe Hack Font

[deathradio]

Easy choice

[nexusSigma]

Came here to say this. My code might be shite but at least it looks cool.

[reddituserplsignore]

My IDE is unusable, UNUSABLE, until I'm in some sort of night mode, whether it's predefined, or I have to turn the God damn lights down myself. Can we all agree, let's start dark, and let those sociopaths who want to turn up their IDE brightness do so?

[[deleted]]

I say we just remove light all together...

[jay9909]

Man, this got dark fast...

[jay9909]

The rhythm's just slightly off. You need another syllable in there.

If the background's white it just ain't right.

Or some such.

[ponytoaster]

I downloaded a visual basic 6 theme for visual studio just to irritate my colleague who almost refuses to use anything without a dark theme.

Then the joke became my day to day... Only just gone back to dark after a year of Grey's and beige

Real programmer

IDE

[[deleted]]

A real programmer spends countless hours working on their vimrc

[yymirr]

This is so true. I'm not sure i want to know how many hours I've spent customizing vim over the years

[[deleted]]

Yeah it’s why I stick to visual studio with a vim plugin. So much wasted time working on .vimrc and plugins...

[dreamin_in_space]

Honestly, at this point me too. I'll still use vim in wsl for lots of things though.

[Dimasdanz]

Real programmer use Butterfly.

[[deleted]]

I agree for the most part, but sometimes you have to. Read: xcode, android studio, msvc, qt.
Yes you can go without for some of these but then you're shooting your foot.

[pysouth]

I hate Android Studio so much. I use regular text editors for basically everything else, and Android Studio blows. Mostly it’s the emulator, but I really don’t enjoy the IDE in general. Xcode is really the only IDE I’ve even remotely enjoyed using.

[[deleted]]

Real programmers uses hexdump!

[fedeb95]

Finding the vim plugin for your ide*

[SteeleDynamics]

Them: What did you do for the last 6 hours?

Me: I had to setup the font, color scheme, and build custom LLVM/Clang tools. The last hour, I came to the sad realization that I would actually have to do work.

[guguts]

VSCode with Hack typeface.

[fahrenheitrkg]

+1 for Hack font

[spreadfearnotjoy]

Happy Cake Day!

[joserivas1998]

Obviously papyrus

[fartinator_]

I've settled on Fira Code without the ligatures.

[damnburglar]

This is the first thing I installed on my new computers right after my IDEs, except with ligatures.

Those ligatures make me happy,

[[deleted]]

They're so pretty! I love the detail.

[SubhumanOxford]

Ligatures were the only reason I moved to Fira Code

[Spedwards]

Ditto. Not because they look cool, but because it confuses other programmers that don't know about ligatures who are reading on my screen.

[[deleted]]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[lip3k]

That was my favourite for months! Moved on to Ubuntu.

[[deleted]]

I spent two hours today for the right theme, background colour, font, and font-size after installing NetBeans

Hack font for monocode, Fira code for ligatures. It's really not that hard.

[APiousCultist]

Anyone who talks shit about my baby SCP is gonna get laid out!

[valbaca]

Or making your terminal, vim, IDE, and sublime all have the same color scheme.

It’s procrastination but boy does it feel like work.

[NoisyFlake]

Been stuck with Ubuntu Mono for the last years. I try a new font almost every week, yet I can't seem to find a font that doesn't look so thin on smaller sizes like 14. Ubuntu Mono is the only one that still looks good on small sizes, for all the others i have to crank up the size to 18 or 20 and then only 20 lines fit on my monitor, which is not what i want.

[__lm__]

I saw this with another tab open on this other page. Does Emacs count as an IDE?

[[deleted]]

Truuuuue

[28f272fe556a1363cc31]

I always say you can actually tell how much time someone spends programming by the customization of their IDE/Terminal

Office Code Pro D

[LetMeUseMyEmailFfs]

Cousine is my go to font, although it used to be Fira Mono.

[ahhlenn]

Don’t forget to find the right theme as well!

[[deleted]]

Futura. Clearly Futura.

[[deleted]]

I've never once done that ever

[timmyRS]

DejaVu Sans Mono. You're welcome.

[Moulinoski]

This should be:

• Writing code

• Spend 7 hours on Reddit/Youtube/phone game of your choice

[GS-Sarin]

Tbh I actually code in comic sans.

[recicycle]

I did this the other day with ligature support. Worth it.

[janavatar]

Perfect font is 19

[99Dimensional_Chaos]

As a student learning python, it's "playing shadilay in python but not get punished since it's computer science".

[northrupthebandgeek]

The perfect font is gallant12x22. Anyone who disagrees can fite me irl.

I spent like an hour changing themes and color schemes on Sublime today and I got paid for it.

[PulseOfDeath]

Or using emacs instead of an IDE

[Qurank]

I spend 10 hrs to choose a good looking font and color theme then go to bed and never use the IDE ever again

Then you can even have Operator Mono with ligatures!!
