2:24, it's hard to figure out how this can be better than Codeblocks. Cursor up/down I can do with arrow keys. Insert mode is default, I can type anytime. Visual mode doesn't need special keys: it already starts selecting all the block by holding Shift-Down (can be done by just the right hand). Ctrl-S (can be left hand only) to save file, Alt-F4 (left hand) to quit.
4:36, holding Ctrl-Right (can be right hand only) does that. 4:44, same thing with Ctrl-Left (right hand too), for backwards.
5:09, this is nice. I don't know how to do this 1. But holding Up/Down or using the mouse I will take 1s more. So it's not big deal to me.
6:21, for that I need Home (1 or 2x, depending on its config, to reach leftmost position) , Shift-Down (select line), Del. Or 4x left-click with mouse (2x for selecting the word, other 2 for the line) and Del. 6:26, Ctrl-Z/R is enough.
6:40, that was fast. I would need hold Shift-Down till the return line, then Ctrl-Shift-Left, to "undo" selection till return's left side, and Del (all can be made with right hand). 6:54, holding Ctrl-Shift-Right (to select how many words), and Del (to delete all at once) - right hand recommended. 7:04, same thing for backwards, exchanging Right by Left.
8:00, I can type left or right that 0 without worrying about modes. I just need to use Right/Left arrow to move the cursor.
9:00, holding Ctrl-Shift-Right it goes selecting by words. I don't need mouse, despite it being an extra option. 9:20, Ctrl-C/V is almost as fast, can be made with left hand, and won't make another line, because the new line character wasn't copied on the selection.
9:34, C::B is faster on this 1: hold Ctrl-D to duplicate the line how many times desired.
9:47, Shift-End select the line, but the new line character. Then Ctrl-C and go to the other, Shift-End and Ctrl-V. 10:00, that was a nice exchange. I've Ctrl-X to delete and memorize, but could not do that on an exchanging. I would have to paste the selection above, and then Ctrl-X on the what should be replaced over, to memorize it as the new 1.
10:35, I use Home to reach the leftmost side, then hold Shift-Down, till selecting all the block + the other piece. Then Ctrl-D to duplicate it.
