Anyone got any links to good guides for getting into Vim if you are a Visual Studio user at present? I keep hearing people talking about Vim and how it will change your life, mannn. Is there a good beginners guide?

Start by running vimtutor on just about any system that has Vim installed.

  THIS. Get comfortable with moving from command to insert mode and back, moving around using the keyboard, and basic commands like delete, change and search (/). See how to combine these. From there, you're doing everything from the keyboard and learning new little shortcuts all the time.

I liked the visual guide: http://www.viemu.com/a_vi_vim_graphical_cheat_sheet_tutorial.html http://www.viemu.com/a_vi_vim_graphical_cheat_sheet_tutorial... You can also get a vi plugin for Visual Studio http://www.viemu.com/ http://www.viemu.com/ which is pretty cool.

  Their is also a free vim tool for Visual Studio that is semi complete but very usable. VsVim is what its called and I use it everyday.

  As a long-time vim users and short-time Visual Studio user, I've found viemu to be a nice addition but frustrating to use. It conflicts with VS2010's keyboard shortcuts, and I've found myself doing the "random typing OMG what did I just do" thing fairly often. I hadn't done that in vim for over a decade. Maybe it's just that viemu for VS2010 has only just come out recently, and may still need some tweaking. Long term, it's probably a great tool.

Peepcode has a pair of excellent starting with vim screen casts. I started a few weeks ago and they helped me a ton. https://peepcode.com/products/smash-into-vim-i https://peepcode.com/products/smash-into-vim-i
