What has worked for me was to just learn a few basic functions. Save/load a file, cut-n-paste, move to line # and search. Just enough to be productive. Then I google as I needed something like search and replace, search and replace over selected line numbers, etc.
My VIM skills are still very basic and vanilla and I've used it as my main editor for a couple of years now.
My .vimrc is setup and I copy that to whatever computer I'm working on. I pretty much "stole" my setup from others.
- daschaa 4y agoThis sounds like a good, iterative approach! Do you have your .vimrc file in a repository and download it from there when you are switching your workstation? Or how do you handle it?
