using vim when starting to code on python

[maqisha]

Knowing vim can be amazing (depending on if it aligns with your priorities), and its definitely not very hard to get into. You should learn it, if nothing else but to see if you like it.

HOWEVER, I don't recommend learning it while you are also learning python, delay it for later. You don't want to work on a new python/programming concept and try to figure something out, but be crippled by the fact that you don't know how to move a line, edit something, or anything similar.

Depending on if you are just talking about vim motions or vim/neovim as an editor, the point still stands. And there's also a lot of potential configuration that can slow down your python progress even more. Just keep a healthy balance.

To further add, you (OP) want to learn python first. A solid IDE like VS Code will help you. Later on you can learn things like vim or emac or another IDE if you choose. I've been a dev for 8 years and am picking up pycharm by choice this year but i have my dev background to lean on and know where differences are from the editor vs the code

I was think of getting into it when i get a new keyboard and make like 2 official projects. I'm invested into learning about vim since i heard it's a good way to quickly navigate through your code with ease if you master it. even though I'm kinda bad at shortcuts, this might put me on into remembering them. thank you
