If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.

OC, feel free to share.

EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

Agreed, but I am more of a "Shift + I" kind of guy

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Wait doesn't Shift + I just type "I"?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Only if you are in insert mode. If you are in normal mode, Shift-I moves to the beginning of the line and then enters insert mode.

That’s some arcane gobbledygook. I think you mean M-m

Tied my left hand into a pretzel trying that one

Ah, I see you're a nerd of culture as well.

To kill the joke, they're talking about the popular and mode-based editor VIM where in normal mode each key on the keyboard does an action

Yeah when I searched for "insert-mode" from another comment, the next suggested result was "insert-mode vim" and "insert-mode visual studio" (which IIRC is just aping vim), plus it's /c/programmerhumor so I had a feeling that it would be vim shenanigans.

~~Or CTRL-{left arrow}~~

~~I think, I'm going off muscle memory~~

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That jumps left one word rather than to the start of the line in everything I can think of

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Nope you're right, it was Fn+{{left arrow}} on mine. I don't use it often though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Ctrl+A does do that though if you wanted a Ctrl way of doing it
