[GoLUG] Here is 'vim' revisited

[David Billsbrough]

All,

I think I knew the vim editor real well but going though this bullet point list there are many hidden gems:

* The official cheat sheet, “Quickref” (https://vimhelp.org/quickref.txt.html).

* Vim tutor (https://vimhelp.org/usr_01.txt.html#vimtutor).
  An official 30-minute interactive tutorial built into Vim itself.
 (Now it’s built into the JetBrains Vim plugin (https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/blob/master/CHANGES.md#features-1) too.)

* The Commands Index (https://vimhelp.org/index.txt.html#index.txt). An index containing every single Vim command.

* The “you don’t grok vi” (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118) answer on StackOverflow. Undoubtedly the greatest piece of literature on StackOverflow.

* The browser game Vim Adventures (https://vim-adventures.com/). The first level is free. For $25 you unlock a pretty legit learning experience to develop muscle memory.

* The guide “Learn Vim the Smart Way” (https://learnvim.irian.to/).

* The Vim Wiki (http://vim.wikia.com), the greatest repository of Vim tips.

* Throughout this guide you’ll see links to vimhelp.org (https://vimhelp.org/), an HTML version of the Vim help pages which is kept up-to-date automatically with Vim’s built-in help.


Credit for list goes to Sebastian Carlos (https://medium.com/@sebastiancarlos?source=post_page---byline--f7b525a794b3---------------------------------------) so start grokking!
