You don't have to use the Vim editor itself, but to not take advantage of Vim key bindings is a huge miss if you're doing programing work. Most modern editors have plugins that enable them. Personally I've been using Intellij with the Vim plugin.
I'm not sure what the best way to learn is, but try `vimtutor` on your shell and keep open a Vim cheat sheet like the one here: http://michael.peopleofhonoronly.com/vim/ http://michael.peopleofhonoronly.com/vim/
- ohitsdom 6y agoAs a non-vim user, I need a cheat sheet to help me understand this cheat sheet.
- hknapp 6y agoThat chart can be handy, but learning vim from it is like learning German by memorizing every possible sentence. I recommend https://danielmiessler.com/study/vim/ https://danielmiessler.com/study/vim/ for those trying to learn vim
- 7331 6y agoYeah I find that this style of cheat sheet where it's overlayed on a keyboard aren't really that useful when you know what feature you want, but don't know the key. They make more sense for reverse-engineering, i.e. you accidently just hit a key, and you want to find out what it did. I guess they still are useful to study in one big go, when you have some time to sit down and purely just study + practise keybindings (not working on real code) and helps with muscle memory kind of thing. But less so when I'm being impatient and just want to figure out one thing that I need right now (while working on some real project).
- MrDOS 6y agoThere's something deeply ironic about a vim cheat sheet having been created in Excel.
