Nice tutorial—better than many.
However, these kind of tutorials always fail to mention the number one way to learn Vim:
vimtutor
and
:h usr_02.txt
Those two (and successive pages in the user manual) will teach you practically everything about Vim—and they're included right in Vim.
- hasenj 15y agovimtutor is actually slow and boring
- gbog 15y agoIndeed, the article is certainly too short to be slow or boring. It reads in 2 minutes, and you learn near to nothing about Vim, not even search and replace or <c-y>.
- joelthelion 15y agoIt takes less than 30 minutes, and teaches you a lot of useful things, with practice, that actually makes you memorize the things. If spending 30 minutes learning vim is "slow and boring" to you, then I sincerely doubt vim is for you.
- hasenj 15y agoI use vim everyday as my main editor. This guide is much more interesting: http://www.viemu.com/a-why-vi-vim.html http://www.viemu.com/a-why-vi-vim.html
- rfrey 15y agoFrom the article: "Fortunately vim comes with some very good tools and an excellent documentation. Run vimtutor until you are familiar with most basic commands. Also, you should read carefully this page: :help usr_02.txt."
- beaumartinez 15y agoSince I wrote that comment he changed his article to include that (unattributed, of course): https://github.com/yogsototh/Scratch/commit/6555b7d94cee124a12cb7632b80a3a784f07ebf6#L0R334 https://github.com/yogsototh/Scratch/commit/6555b7d94cee124a...
