I won't tell you how to use vim, but I'll tell you about myself a little bit. I got my first computer 2years ago. I used windows for 6months, then switched to Linux. When learning C programming someone recommended me to use Vim(so that I could compile and run via terminal with opening any other windows). First I just knew to save and exit. Then after 2-3 months of regular use I started finding vim very much useful and now I don't find any other editor which match vim. Its easy.

Yeah I went to a hackathon and a few people were using vim and it was amazing and I was awestruck lol

I use vim frequently. IMO vim > nano

You can try vimtutor... um...

That maybe a painful way, but it's complete. You don't need to remember everything, just stop when you think it's enough for your usage. For other commands, just google it when you need it. I learnt it in a slow way :P

@Wabby don't forget q! and /

openvim.com is a good resource

Search for "ultimate vimrc".

That's for the materials guys! I know I need to also learn tmux as well

Learning Vim is fantastic, my favourite!

:x is also save+quit so :wq isn't needed!

Learning vim is like smashing your head against a concrete wall. It's hard, but when you get through you'll be the guy who bashed his head through a concrete wall.

Trying to make it easier, like having a machine do the movement for you isn't going to Make it less painful

@zombie01 There's no refuting the learning curve, but... As someone who was in uni just as git was exploding onto the scene. I considered Emacs and Vim to be old irrelevant tools that had long ago been replaced by IDEs. I was so very wrong.

Now Vim is an extension of my own body.

This is my Vim, there are many like it but this one is mine. My Vim is my best friend. It is my life, I must master it as I must master my life...
