I started using vim quite recently and I have a pure opposite view point as yours. With vim, I find myself editing code effortlessly, without conscious effort. This never happened when I was doing this with other text editors using keyboard shortcuts or the mouse.

- dreamer7 5y agoI was using vim mostly while working on projects with a single board computer. But at that time I only knew the basics of searching, jumping to a line and entering insert mode to edit some text. Recently I installed vim plugin for vscode and spent a little time digging deeper into vim and practiced until it got into muscle memory. One little shortcut that I've noticed even some experienced users aren't aware of is :x to save and exit. It is equivalent to :wq
