  That’s a good question. The built in tutorial is actually really good, you can launch it with “vimtutor” on the command line. It doesn’t give you everything, but its instructions and text to try things out on in the editor itself, which I find a good way to learn. It isn’t particularly programming focused either. For getting used to the motions especially https://vim-adventures.com can be a fun way, in its game... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Would it be smarter to go to PSU for all four years instead of PCC then transfer to PSU?

  I'm at another Oregon school TA'n, and they have like three classes where you have to use VIM, or it's highly encouraged since the instructor wants everything done on the server—all upper division. Unlike Karla's classes, only a fraction of the students have issues getting used to VIM. This blows my mind because it felt like half my class with her had issues learning it all throughout lower div. Yet here I send a... Source: 10 months ago

• Hi 👋! I’m building a free app to help people practise for coding interviews in a fun gamified way. Would love any feedback :)

  It's not really "gamey" aside from the site's aesthetic. I thought it'd be something like vim adventures where you master a new skill in order to progress the storyline. Source: 10 months ago

• Moving Fast with the Core Vim Motions

  I was in awe of a friend using vim, I asked him how someone could possess that power, he promptly gave me a license of https://vim-adventures.com/ and now I can't use any other editor that at least have a vim plugin. Give the game a go, totally worth it if you want to ease into learning vim, after some time try and use it for everything, even if it fell slow, persist and it will be worth it. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Best FOSS text editor like atom?

  I usually run lower end machines, so it's been an issue and sounds like it still would be. I absolutely agree that vim's learning curve is quite steep. Though there is https://vim-adventures.com/ which is a cute/fun way of learning and many guides exist that help make it easier to get started. Also, plugins help turn vim into an IDE, but I imagine an editor built as a modern IDE, like VSCode, probably does better... Source: 11 months ago

  Play the vim game. Https://vim-adventures.com/ Download vim master on your phone. Use vim. It will be a couple days before you are comfortable and do things automatically. After that everything else will frustrate you by not having vim bindings. Source: about 1 year ago

• I am a new Linux user (Ubuntu, it is for a course) and I like it a lot so far.

  Why? Rip the bandaid off now and learn to love it. Once it becomes natural you will be able to write code so efficiently. Nowadays I can't stand working in an editor that doesn't have vim keybindings. Just run vimtutor, or I really liked https://vim-adventures.com/ when I was learning. Source: about 1 year ago
