I tried learning by using cheat sheets, but they don't stick because I don't go back to them for reference or if I do, I forget because I think I'll have a reference later. Commands stuck when I saw someone else use vim, do something I didn't know about like yyp, and I asked how they did it. I'd like a video of someone using vim for real work and then explaining how they did it.

Vimcasts provides excellent, free little screencasts about Vim. (http://vimcasts.org/episodes/archive http://vimcasts.org/episodes/archive) PeepCode also sells two screencasts about Vim that I think are quite good. (http://peepcode.com/products/smash-into-vim-i http://peepcode.com/products/smash-into-vim-i and http://peepcode.com/products/smash-into-vim-ii http://peepcode.com/products/smash-into-vim-ii) Depending on how long you've been using Vim, you may find them a bit basic (especially the first), but Vim has so many nooks and crannies that you will likely pick up some things anyhow.
