Thank you for this, I have to admit I have never used Emacs or Vi or Vim.
Maybe it is  time to learn?
I will look at the tutorial video.

(20 odd years of paid work , of being 'forced into using 'MS products',
after we 'computerised' after  mastering a  German telex keyboard for
long distance  messages. The key clatter and mending of broken 8 hole
tape is a main memory; then the 'computers are down' periods of MS, so
resort again to telex, or later to Fax, especially for 'signature
documents' that might be needed in court.)
