Always heard about org mode but was intimidated by emacs when I could barely manage vi/vim (sorry guys). Installed a plugin for org-mode for Sublime Text today and… shit, why didn’t I try this sooner?
I have thousands of text files with horrible organization, thrown around multiple directories, no common naming scheme, no hierarchy, no unified notation, just ramblings and a barely marginal attempt at organization using === as title markers. I have links and ideas buried deep and I didn’t want to use a third party tool “just for managing text”.
Well, my eyes are open, and thus I’m euphoric, enlightened by its brilliance. I must rewrite all my stuff in org-mode.
There used to be an awesome vi tutorial page at the University of Hawaii but it’s no longer there. You might find it archived on the internet archive way back though.
https://web.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/vi.html maybe?
Just out of curiosity, do you know of a good resource for learning awk, sed, and grep?
There are two really good O’Reilly books: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/sed-awk/1565922255/ and https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/mastering-regular-expressions/0596528124/ (regex in general)
– not sure if these are still available as standalone pdfs; but back in the day I worked through them in part, and they were extremely helpful.
