Convert those dastardly curly quotes to straight quotes on Windows?

... But life is probably too short to learn all that Vi(m) can do, so by all means concentrate on getting it to do just what you need or want. That's for sure. I've been using vi, and then vim, for about 35 years and have barely scratched the surface - I just use the parts that I need. (Having used it for so long I don't even have to think about how the UI works, it just comes naturally at this point.) I'm glad people exist who realize the value of vi/vim/gvim where it pretty much does whatever I need done on all platforms. There's a learning curve to any text editor (e.g., Notepad++) but if the text editor isn't on all the platforms, then the learning curve is three to five times what it should be (given the three to five major consumer text editing platforms). 1. Linux 2. Windows 3. MacOS 4. Android 5. iOS The solution turned out to be as simple as changing the font. |
