meh, no need, I already know all the commands

Not sure what am I addicted to more: caffeine or vim

dugg cos vi is a Real Man's editor. ^_^

that is the most useful idea I saw this year for my coffee cap :P

Thinkgeek has it too, and it isn't out of stock.

"What's that command again?..... damn it..I just spilled coffee on my keyboard again."

Forget politics this topic is going to get ugly fast

VI definitely put hair on my chest... it's the file editing equivalent of taking your bourbon straight... I'd feel like a real pussy drinking anything other than spiked black coffee out of this mug

FTMFW!

a real man uses any editor he pleases...

I only use Joe you insensitive clod!

Hmm, I think I like my vi coffee mug better. I've had it for about 8 years, and it
looks somewhat like this one:

Note that that picture of the mug is horrible. It's not really distorted like in that photo.

Man, I need one of these. I get around alright, but there's room for improvement...

i just bought a few of these off thinkgeek...

Amazing Linus is free. But that mug is $12.95.

A friend and I ordered some of these mugs. When we got them the box clearly said 'vi Mug' but they contained /dev/mug mugs :(

Couldn't be bothered to go to the trouble of returning them.

Where can I get an emacs mug? I suspect such a mug would provide the same great tasting coffee as a vi mug, though it'd probably be much easier to handle.. Added straw.. ergonomic design.. It might even tilt itself instead of kicking me in the nuts when I try to drink coffee..

Dugg for the submitter's name :]

I have had one for about 5 years from everything linux in Sydney Australia. I think they developed the original idea. They do not seem to have them any more :-(

perfect gift for that elitist alpha geek in your office. geek factor 10

:wq

A little dated I think. I use >> to indent and

vi is cool -- every Unix/Linux system has it plus I know the commands by heart.

I don't want to hear any whining about which editor is better ---
As far as I'm concerned vi is king -- I starting my computing career using PUNCH CARDS (my former employer. City of Waterbury data center didn't dump IBM DOS/VSE cards based systems until 1990 ) ....

I don't really like vi. I mean a text editor is a text editor, I just prefer pico or nano.

When I saw the title I was trying to figure out how anyone could get a console based text editor and a media player to work together (was I alone?)

But at any rate, this is a neat idea, I always seem to forget the one command I need at that given moment!

I prefer using GNU nano; the commands are much easier to memorize. :-)

Got one of these puppies at SCALE in Feb.
Coffee just tastes better when with that added pinch of annoyance in the Emacs drone I work with.
