I love vim but I always get a feeling that I'm only using 1% of its features. It is hard to memorize all the availanle keybindings, specially if it is something that you don't use often.
Does anyone have suggestions of what worked to help learn mor Vim commands?

- codyb 6y agoI spend a lot of time in tmux and I frequently open and close terminal sessions so I made this https://github.com/cboppert/motd https://github.com/cboppert/motd It’s message of the day but with ViM tips. It worked fantastically for getting small tips throughout my day that allowed me to consume and learn without necessarily dedicating any tangible amount of time to it.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoI suspect it’ll take a long time for that feeling to go away, but what helped me for learning is just using Vim everywhere and sometimes when you run into a particular problem where you think there might be efficient ways to solve it, look it up. Give yourself some time to get used to the new commands and really add them to your repertoire before you look up something new.
