bahua129154yGet used to vim. Use it for simple everyday things like notetaking and as a scratch pad. Then when you're accustomed to it, try to think of things that's help you use it better, like custom mappings and leader combinations. Read some docs on building your .vimrc and play with some sane customizations. There are countless plugins available that enhance the visuals, but I wouldn't recommend messing with them until you're much more familiar with vim.

Apply vim bindings to everything. Remove the switches in your arrow keys, uninstall your mouse drivers. If possible block mouse registration in fimware.

install a fuckload of plugins and admire the greatness that a shitty language like Vimscript can accomplish

orhun12554yWow some good info ya guys throwing at me! But got one question: How is this comfortable to use capslock when I swap it with esc?

bahua129154y@orhun
Yeah, I never do that. I don't like caps lock, but the main reason I don't like it is because of how easy it is to hit it accidentally. Giving it a real use just invites a different form of trouble, for me. -
bahua129154yOr better to set up a leader combination that toggles an iabbrev rule that turns any entered lowercase character into its uppercase counterpart.
