That joke about putting a noob in vim editor is seriously underrated. I remember my first time trying to exit it xD
Surprised you didn't mention yy to copy a line p to paste I work with vim every single day, and I use these 1000 times a day.
As a full-time vim user of many years - I think this is a great intro. Enough to be useful, and possibly intrigue people to learn more. :-)
I've learned a lot just by reading the comments! That's power of the community! :D
Shortest 8 mins of my life, you just hooked me man!! You're great teacher.
What you call "command mode" is "normal mode". Command mode is entered by pressing colon in normal mode
This is actually the only video i've watched about vim that actually make me interested in learning vim. Thank you.
its my first time diving into arch. i feel like i am manipulating individual atoms. thanks
I first used vi in the early 90's it is one of those tools you either use all the time or you forget all the shortcuts, so thanks for the refresher. One thing you missed is: set nonumber. Always handy to know how to unset something you showed how to set. All the best!
That was the perfect amount of knowledge for a novice like me to get started. You sir, know what you're doing. Thank you.
Small correction: The g-flag on your search-and-replace command stands for "global" "greedy" means something different in regex terms
Great! Vim was recommended to me yesterday by the lead developer where I work. (I am not currently employed as a developer, I just befriended this gentleman.) I currently alternate between two of the most popular text editors in my studies, and I will be beginning my studies in a coding boot camp 2 days from now. I am convinced that this will be a valuable tool in my developer's tool box, and your simple <= 9 minute video has helped immensely!
you goota be one of the most professional youtube teachers I-ve ever seen. even the videos timeline has the codes to assist. this is gold man, definately spreading the word!
My friend told me he'll pay me if I manage to learn Vim. I've never earned so much for watching a 9-minute video. Thanks :D
Insanely useful. I'm in over my head, but now I have an ear above water
I've seen this video a couple of months ago and ended up falling back to nano, but I'm once again trying to use this as my main terminal editor, and I gotta say I really enjoy it, thank you for making such a consive video, that's what makes the linux community go forward.
you've done a great tutorial! Clear, concise explanation but you've also struck the balance between being useful and getting overwhelming. Keep up the good work!
El mejor tutorial que he visto sobre Vim (Vi) en Youtube. IncreĆble. Gracias.
