Turbo for faster CLI edits

Turbo for faster CLI edits

Everybody likes vim or nvim. Everybody likes emacs . Both have in common that they are battle-tested and extensible. There also are Common User Access (CUA) configs for these.

In fact, I have one right here:

GitHub - norandom/nvim-simple: Nvim (CLI) config with CUA, tabs and mouse support (Terminal)

I like using turbo over nvim occasionally.

  • Easier copy-paste flow
    • hold shift, use the arrow keys - like in any other tool
    • CRTL + a for "Mark all"
    • familiar keyboard shortcuts that have existed since December 1987. That predates vi even.
    • nvim or vim need set paste mode to deal with tabs (Python code gets broken).

  • File Tree (right side):
  • static file build (all features included)
    • I deploy this to ~/bin and add turbo to the PATH . Ubuntu server with the minimal install base ships with neither vim nor nano .
