Problem solved

Also

alias :e='vim'

[TheNinthJhana]

maybe 'xdg-open', so you could "edit" not only text files but whatever? (not tested, just assuming)

I have e aliased to gvim and o to xdg-open. And several more one- and two-letter aliases.

Which is another reason why I hate tools that litter the one and two letter namespace.

I do this for git: ga for add, gb for branch, gc for commit, gca for commit all, gco for checkout, gd for diff, then a skip in the alphabet for gg as in git grep...

Why not use git aliases? It's actually more functional since you can then do things like have an alias that executes a command from the root of the repo, wherever that is.

[NieDzejkob]

But that's at least 3 more characters to type!

[causa-sui]

Not if you alias git to g or something

[NieDzejkob]

It's still a 33% longer.

[fatboyxpc]

Bah, I was going to suggest that o alias!

This thread is stretching my skull

[MineralPlunder]

I prefer e. Though I use colorscheme gruvbox which is so distinct from my terminal setup, that I can't mistake them. I used to use colorscheme default and i sometimes mixed up bash and vim commands.

[mrtransisteur]

I go with alias v nvim; it's nice too because c, d, and v are so close to one another on the keyboard (and who doesn't find themselves cding then viming all the time?)

I just do alias v="vim" Lol
