        But you have to use your mouse to switch to a new terminal, assuming you are using vscode for everything else

          You assumption is wrong. I’m a chad that only use terminal and Neovim. I don’t need those filthy mouses. I have a touchpad instead that I also rarely use. I have millions of keymaps engraved in my brain, give me a keyboard and a terminal and I will move mountains.

    sd or nothing. I’m never dealing with sed’s slow and out of date regex ever again

      You know that sed does more than s///g, right?

      Someone even wrote a version of dc (the arbitrary precision RPN desktop calculator) with it. They were clearly insane of course, but it proves that sed is more than just find and replace.

      Honourable mention to awk’s sub() and gsub() that, at least for basic find/replace, do the same thing. awk is often surprisingly quick.

    I just learned that the Mac version of sed requires a backup file for the -i flag, making it really hard to write cross-platform scripts that use it.

    You’re a monster of you actually like regex more than just opening a full text editor. I’d open visual studio and use it to give the text I need before I touch sed
