I've been using vim for a year now, mostly because I don't know how to exit it.

100 seconds prolonged to 12 minutes because he couldn't exit it.

[Noobificado]

Vim improved my productivity a lot.
Now I can get compile time errors way faster than before.

“You might find your self in vim with no way to escape”
You just described every interaction I’ve had with vim ever.

[AshesOfEther]

I love how he uses the VS Code terminal to demonstrate it.

[JesperHasselquist]

What is being referred to as "command mode" in the part after the 100 seconds, is actually called normal mode. Command mode is what you enter when you hit colon ( : ).

[CodingNuggets]

What's funny is how many upvotes on stackoverflow the question of how to exit VIM has (4k+).

Title: 'Vim in 100 seconds'
Me: sees that the video is 12 minutes long
Also me: *something's wrong, I can feel it*

[alexismandelias]

The beyond 100 seconds part has less information than the 100 seconds though...

[kipchickensout]

I like how in the "Without Vim" example he does the editing extra slow and tedious so that the vim method is faster xd

[mmshasan]

I used vim in 2005 for the first time in Linux and used CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot the server to get out of it 🤣🤣🤣

Fireship really has become a learning brand

[danielrdrigues]

I'm loving this series beyond 100 seconds, keep it up 👍, VIM really make your produtivity spikes, like 10 seconds per day, it's incredible.

[muhammadadithyarickyichsan]

Next : Linux in 100 seconds and beyond

Small tip: you can also navigate to line numbers via {n}gg, where {n} is the line number you want to go to (ie. 5gg). Alternatively, gg goes to the first line, and G goes to the last

[GoodVolition]

I've used Vim here and then. But just in general for the way I write code I've never felt using a mouse was a bottleneck. I understand people who like it though. There's a certain charm once you get into the swing.

[cindrmon]

fun fact: the 'hjkl' mapping for vim is surprisingly similar to the arrangement of arrows in Dance Dance Revolution, which is always typically Left, Down, Up, Right.

[DaraulHarris]

You should note that a and A are separate commands. I have met people that thought the command to append to the end of the line was shift+a, which it is not.

An interesting side effect of learning the vim navigation keys that I've noticed is that you start to notice them all over the place. They work on Facebook and twitter for navigating your feed for example.

[alphabasic]

The biggest advantage of vi/vim over every other editor is it's incredibly powerful text processing (which by the way you can apply from within a session or via a command-line if you're running via batch).
