You want to teach yourself vim (the best text editor known to human kind) in the fastest way possible. This my way of doing it. You start by learning the minimal to survive, then you integrate all the tricks slowly.
Vim the Six Billion Dollar editor
Better, Stronger, Faster.
Learn vim and it will be your last text editor. There isn’t any better text editor that I know of. It is hard to learn, but incredible to use.
I suggest you teach yourself Vim in 4 steps:
- Survive
- Feel comfortable
- Feel Better, Stronger, Faster
- Use superpowers of vim
By the end of this journey, you’ll become a vim superstar.
But before we start, just a warning. Learning vim will be painful at first. It will take time. It will be a lot like playing a musical instrument. Don’t expect to be more efficient with vim than with another editor in less than 3 days. In fact it will certainly take 2 weeks instead of 3 days.
