Getting to know Vim Editor for university. Do you think switching from visual studio code to Vim is a good method for learning? Do you know any good Vim courses?

I don't use vim myself.

But I guess if you just throw yourself at vim you should expect great drop in productivity for a relative long period of time. In the other hand, I think it's also the best way to learn it. Start slow and figure out new things while you need them!

Anything can be learned. It is just a matter of preference. If you like vim then go for it. I prefer vscode. Do vim as long as your productivity will not be affected 😎

VS Code + Vim mode = Life

ed editor have a much more friendly learning curve, and is pretty versatile.

The simplest way to learn vim is running the command vimtutor that ships with vim (I did and now I'm good at vim)
:wq

@deodexed gonna try it now

I used to use vim for everything (c#, js, even java sometimes) i switched to vscode because of productivity, I think the editor has nothing to do with how good you learn a language or platform, at the end it comes down to you dedication to learning and the effort you put in understanding whatever you are doing

@jpichardo sure I can code pretty good now and I don't want to learn how to code with vim, but how to use it. As example I mentioned switching from VS code but I will try vimtutor and vimadventures first

@Mewa yeah those are good sites good luck

@Phippsaurus Yes, it's pretty good for me.

VS code vim integration pretty good now. Using it for last 6 months and its fine. Couple of issues but nothing major.

Definitely recommend spending the time to learn vim, every ide has a plug-in for it, and if you don't learn it you will have to learn the different shortcuts everytime you change ide. I switch regularly between eclipse, vs code and command line vi/vim.

Useful way is to learn one new vim command every day and use that command, you quickly get good at it.
