If you just remember the keywords, it usually helps a bit. Plus a good configuration makes it a lot easier to use!" Now I'm at a point where I find myself hitting ":wq" more often than not regardless of whether I'm actually in vim... and I started looking up ways to use vim keybindings in Sublime Text.
