Learning VIM was one of the best moves I ever made - It's not an exaggeration to say that I use it for everything, to the point that one of my first questions when evaluating any editor/software is "does it have vim keybindings?" and if not, "can I *give it *vim keybindings..." I still remember watching Phil show it to my intro to linux class for the first time. I had been a longtime nano user, because, who wanted to (hjkll) around? But the second that he showed us how it *could *work. I was sold. - Thomas Scott | mr.thomas.scott@gmail.com On Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 12:08 PM Shaun Anderson via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > People will probably beat this to death, but take some time and go through > the tutorials, and really learn it.
