The speed increase on paragraph editing capabilities is really attracting versus pointing your mouse to do everything. I'm gonna give it a shot, thanks.

- gnosis 15y agoIf you're just starting, I strongly recommend you go through vimtutor. After installing vim, just type "vimtutor" in your shell. Then, head over to #vim on freenode.net with any questions. Even simply lurking in that channel is a great education.
- rickyc091 15y agoIt took me two weeks before I finally grew comfortable with vim, so don't get discouraged. Start off by treating it as a regular text editor. Use the arrow keys to move around, use control (windows) or option (mac) + arrow keys to quickly move between words, etc. Slowly introduce a few vim shortcuts at a time. It was also helpful for me to write the commands on a whiteboard or a post it and have it on my monitor as reference.
- re_todd 15y agoYeah, having them written down off to the side helped me finally learn vim. There are many vim cheat sheets out there via a quick google that I wish I would have used starting out.
