> Instead of remembering cryptic commands

I use vim and nothing about its commands are "cryptic" to me. You want to "go to definition"? You press "gd" as in "(g)o to (d)efinition". What's cryptic about this?



Exactly. The whole reason I use vim is because it's like a conversation. If you want to talk about cryptic shortcuts, look at IntelliJ. Why should Ctrl+B be Go to Declaration?


Are you serious? That's incredibly cryptic. The fact that you learned it doesn't make it intuitive for others.


gd isn't a native vim command though :P This tool is intended for people who never use vim more than a few times a month or a year


Not sure why you say it's not native... Sure it's made to work along with a ctag file but it's totally native (ie no plugin) if point vim to one, ctag is only crafting the file.
