Hello, you foolish Emacs-Religion!

I introduced a new employee to the superior editors and provided him an objective opinion of choice between our two Editors. This Fool elected Emacs. Anyhow, I did transfer all my Vim-Config to Emacs and it was working great. But I switched back since there were Scenarios were I definetly knew from my gut I issued the correct evil-mode instructions but somehow Emacs did some fuck-up.

At this point let me tell you that I was so impressed with your capabilties, that I found you guys speaking to me was meant intentionally demoralizing!!1 I also append that due to code quality reasons I transfered to Vim. So my Progress was: Neovim > Emacs > Vim.

I just realized that - maybe - it is about two differing things: The cursor/caret CONSISTENCY and panes (can't refer to a split in your native tongue, sorry).

Both Editors were configured to remember the last caret position. And I suspect both did this, since your Code is written by more proficient developers (my personal studies have shown). And panes are working within my - on-demand - unit teats correctly. But I just switched from a temporary help-pane to my code and realized: My layout wasn't effected, my caret was obv. still at my last editing position and this while I switched from shell to the editor, skipping a pane and rephrasing my own thought while doing this.

My caret is always consistent. Maybe this is something not explicitly tested in your code base. And why I shared it.

Anyhow, your Editor sucks and we will take all of your invention, idiots.

Did this post even make sense in the original German, before you passed it through a bad translator? ๐Ÿ˜‚

I wrote this from my understanding, skills of English and without any spelling capabilities.

It makes sense to my dutch native tongue.

Could you explain what he's saying about caret (presumably cursor?) positions because I can't make sense of it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Caret is indeed a cursor.

I am thankful for your reply.

As a Dutch you (edit: may be) are the Best to analyze my mistakes. I would appreciate a correction if you can spare the time for such at any point. Either via a public comment or a private message - doesn't matter since it would be offtopic and in my personal interest.
