I use Vim 8 (via MacVim) every day, but I'm definitely not at an advanced level! I'd say the most advanced stuff I do is gqap, and performing substitutions via regex, either with a range or in visual mode. I'd appreciate suggestions as to the best path to take, to move to a more advanced level of Vim 8. (Note I mention Vim 8 explicitly. Also, if extending my existing vimrc becomes a thing to do, I'd want to do it myself, learning what each not does!)

I used to use MacVim all the time, and have a healthy respect for the project. Might I also recommend a NeoVim/tmux combination? Personally, I can't think of a better development environment (unless you're coding in Java, but then you have bigger, sadder problems to deal with :) ).

I found this book quite helpful in leveling up my Vim skills: https://pragprog.com/book/dnvim2/practical-vim-second-edition https://pragprog.com/book/dnvim2/practical-vim-second-editio... I can also vouch for the Vim + tmux combination. PragProg has an excellent book on tmux too: https://pragprog.com/book/bhtmux2/tmux-2 https://pragprog.com/book/bhtmux2/tmux-2
