Vim.js – JavaScript port of Vim

No offense, but

- you haven't answered my question. Like, at all.

- I don't quite like the 'would be better off in an IDE' part.

That said, at this point I'll better see what I can find about these oh-so-essential features and I might even add them to my routine/workflow (so far, I still don't know why though...).

Edit: As expected, the help page doesn't explain why I should care about those. q: and q/ are nothing I ever missed, :normal is weird and I cannot imagine what it is used for. Basically my whole reason to jump on this thread "Okay, now I don't know these. Why are they useful?" is absolutely still relevant. Reading the documentation isn't enough. I .. won't buy a book at this point.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm not going to transcribe a book or help files here. The answer is read Practical Vim. It should be required reading for any Vim user.

Whether or not you're trying, you have succeeded.

I'm incredibly quick with Vim and I rarely use `q:`, `q/`, `:normal`, etc.

In fact, I think I only type `q:` as a typo when I'm trying to `:q[uit]` :p
