  • Honestly just memorize the fundamental ones and google everything else you need on the fly. You’ll naturally memorize the ones you use often.

    I’ve used VIM for nearly 5 years and the only keybinds I have memorized are ‘a’ (append right here) ‘A’ (append to end of line) ‘i’ (insert right here) and I use the arrows to navigate instead of the letters. The only incantation I have memorized is %s/text to replace/text to replace with/g (find and replace through entire file. Remove the /g to find and replace only the next instance).

    Once you have those, you can basically do anything that you’re capable of in a normal editor. If you need to do something beyond that, search “how to x in vim” and click the first stack overflow link that comes up, hasn’t failed me yet

  • Those are the same buttons I saw.

    The export attachments I assume is intended to export the files you would upload, like scanned in service records and whatnot. Obviously, the demo throws a “no records” error (or however they phrased it). Presumably, they didn’t think about people wanting to test that feature and didn’t bother to upload attachments, but you could upload an attachment and then export it to test methinks.

    The reports, however is where you’ve confused me a bit. Mine defaults to exporting to PDF, which is definitely a meaningful format. You can convert it into anything

  • Yeah, it’s honestly mostly an issue of me dipping into programming and not properly sticking to it for long enough to wrap my mind around some concepts. I heard all the warnings that “learning to program is usually one of the hardest things someone has accomplished” because of how late we learn it and all the other complications. I also, however, have heard my whole life that I learned fast and picked things up easily. Boy oh boy was one of those messages more useful than the other lol

  • That looks pretty good, and yes that is an accurate finding about your phones feature. We can take this one step further though, if you can find a good webp to pdf converter like Sterling-pdf (self-host able but I don’t have a machine with me at work to do this rn), then you can convert the PDF to markdown and it will preserve the formatting. Then we can convert it to HTML and we’ve reverse engineered the page in the image and could even publish it onto the open web!

    Edit: actually you can probably skip the markdown step now that I think about it lol
