Learn Vim in 30 minutes
Vim is one of the best text editors (if not THE best…). You can learn the basics in 30 minutes. All you have to do is launch the following command:
vimtutor
Then follow the instructions.
Vim has a learning curve, I admit, but it’s logical and not complicated. You don’t have to learn all its tricks at once. Learn the basics with vimtutor, read it over again if you need, then start using it. If you need some intermediate stuff that is not explained in the tutorial, look after it on the web.
Warning! Vim is highly addictive! Once you get used to it, you don’t want to use any other text editors. You’ve been warned! :)
