Vim (Vi IMproved) is a text editor based on the standard UNIX editor Vi. Its main feature is modal editing, which minimizes the amount of keystrokes needed for performing tasks, thus greatly reducing strain.

Learning Vim
General Advice
- If you're interested in learning Vim, it is likely for the purpose of programming or markup. In this case, it is recommended to look up online exercises of a language you're familiar with, and write them with Vim.
- It may be tempting to use the arrow, delete, backspace, home, pageup, pagedown, and end keys, but do not.
- When performing a task, always think about how to minimize the amount of keystrokes for it. Research online.
- Keep a cheat sheet, write down new commands you want to learn, keep only several or so commands at a time until you've learned them.
For Beginners
- http://vim-adventures.com/
- Type vimtutor in a terminal to get started
- If you're partial to books, try Practical Vim
- :h
Configuration
All configuration is kept in the ~/.vimrc file, ~ being your home directory. It is advisable to look up existing online vimrc's but do not just copy them. In Vim, :h each entry, read the description and decide for yourself if you want them.
