Answer by Jim Dennis on Stack Overflow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118

Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

You mention cutting with yy and complain that you almost never want to cut whole lines. In fact programmers, editing source code, very often want to work on whole lines, ranges of lines and blocks of code. However, yy is only one of many way to yank text into the anonymous copy buffer (or "register" as it's called in vi).

The "Zen" of vi is that you're speaking a language. The initial y is a verb. The statement yy is a simple statement which is, essentially, an abbreviation for 0 y$:

0 go to the beginning of this line. y yank from here (up to where?)

Building OpenSSL 1.1.0 with Microsoft VS 2015

MCCI needs OpenSSL for a Windows project (that will be cross-platform). A casual search didn't turn up either a good source for cross-platform libraries, which meant we have to build them ourselves. A deeper search found a detailed guide here, and yet the details don't match what I found when I checked out the code; and the post doesn't talk about doing it directly from GitHub (which I wanted to do).

Here's the procedure for building OpenSSL on 64-bit Windows 10, with Visual Studio 2015. Others (July 2019) report that this procedure works with Visual Studio 2017 as well. I've not had a chance to try with Visual Studio 2019.

As this procedure dates from late 2016, you may find that there's a CMake or other, newer, procedure that's more suitable.

1. If you don't have it, please install git bash from git-scm.com.
