What's your favorite vim feature??? (I'm a huge fan of macros!)

Got me at "Know how to exit out of Vim" 😂😂😂

Excellent video. Thank you for being so to-the-point. Been considering trying VIM regardless of all the visual IDE’s out there. I think you just convinced me to delve into some VIM. Thank you.

this was really helpful!! my boyfriend taught me how to exit vim now i wanna learn more about it for him :)

The most important key combination is
ESC ESC ESC :q! ENTER
Where ESC is the escape key And ENTER is the enter key. Everything else is typed out (except the spaces)
If you learn one thing about vim, this should be it.

Nice video! You convinced me to watch your complete vim course on Skillshare! But may be after i complete one of the linux admin bootcamp stuff.

Commands are easy to remember in Vim
sweats in Ctrl+W Shift+T

Thank you for this video. I have just started using vim as plugins for autocompletion on editors such as VSCode or Sublime Text in C/C++ and Rust weren't working for me, while YCM works extremely well for these languages. I already used vim to edit when using the terminal, but the examples you showed such as di" make it much easier for me to learn vim as I now see the logic in these specific combinations of keys :)

"inside" is a proposition in this case.

Tried it and tried it but could never get used to the modes, having to type i or a to edit and then get out of edit mode to be able to move around etcc.

i use programmer Dvorak how do i change every key or where there is a file and how to use it to change the keys. i already change the keys 1 at the time on vim plus atom, but i got your video course and the vim editor... i want to follow you and be able to do everything with you, on the layout i use.

1:58 I was blown away as too how hard it was to exit edit mode. Crashed it and had to close the terminal, and then found out it left a hidden swp file in the directory. Nano is much easier to use, and the short cut keys are listed at the bottom of the editor. Why anybody would want to use vim is beyond me, when the learning curve to nano is almost nonexistent.

I am running kubuntu. When I type vim it tells me that it's not installed, but when I type vi, it says that I am running vim

When I want to delete a word I just move to the word with either a mouse or the arrow keys, and then delete it. All done. No need to use something overly complex and hard-to-use, for such a simple task. That would just be the opposite of effective. :P

"Vim is ubiquitous" ... well yes, since it's part of the POSIX standard.
