Those block commands are great! How have I ever lived without them?
Learned something new. I seldom, if ever, use the visual mode so I
mark the end of the block and use the :.,'as/^/#/ form. Years of
muscle memory. I have a book on Vim somewhere. What it pointed out to
me is how much functionality Vim has that I don't use. I learned one
way to skin a cat long ago and stuck with it. For example I use :new
foo.txt to get two vertically stacked panes. I know you can do side
by side panes but I never do.
:sp[lit]
:vs[plit]
also work. I generally divide the vim screen into four 100 column
wide panes.
I'd screw that up. I use i3/sway and I have a moment of hesitation of
whether Meta-h or Meta-v is going to split the way I want. 'I want two
panes stacked vertically so that's 'h'. Or is it 'v'?'
NANO !!! :-)
Whatever. I've used it in a pinch but it's definitely my favorite.
Hey, super-simple and to the point ... what's
not to love ? :-)
Anyway, I *do* use it quite a lot, even on short-ish
programs.
The ed in Midnight Commander is a bit better, AND you
can use it easily over SSH.
