__________________________________ SEARCH AND REPLACE: EMACS VS VIM __________________________________ I found this gem on how to pull off a search-and-replace with regular expressions on a very popular image-board. Emacs: - press both foot pedals - press meta shift control sysrq - play the moonlight sonata on the two extra keyboards while requesting Regex-Mode with the headstick - hit the electric cymbals strapped under your arm - put the shift-stick you have tightly gripped with your sphincter into turbo mode - signal your two assistants to turn their keys in unison, NOW! - input the regex - release all keys and watch as emacs gracefully rearranges the text Vim: - escape - :%s/foo/bar/g - enter - continue editing I think thats quite funny. But in all seriousness: it's just C-M-% Meaning you press CTRL+ALT while holding SHIFT and....fuck!
