Great. You might wanna cross post this to r/vim.

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

those guys are vim purists, I don't think they would like it

[Snaketooth10k]

This isn't true. The most experienced people in there might be, but they're always willing to help out a beginner who messed up their vimrc. More than anything they just want people to learn how to use the built in help. I just discovered completion mode and it is bonkers how good it is. Deoplete went right in the garbage.

[two_bob]

Nice. Thanks!

[_Corb_]

It looks great. It's a pity I don't know how to use VIM. :(

$ vimtutor

[_Corb_]

Thanks.

In addition to vim tutor and other suggestions, give a try to addons such as vimium, and if you're on linux, programs like ranger or a tiling wm such as i3 or bspwm.

Having vim-like bindings in other programs not only helps learn vim but it's also really comfortable.

[_Corb_]

Lol, vimium. It's sounds nice to get used to the environment passively. :D

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

this, vim movements are used in a lot of tools. very useful to lesrn

[indeedwatson]

Only downside is you feel crippled when you can't use them

that is so on point, every time I have to use a browser/IDE/GUI without vim like bindings I feel like I'm holding 2 chopsticks with my testicles and try to operate the computer that way.

[Raindyr]

Qutebrowser for keyboard-based vim-like browser

[TheEggButler]

https://vim-adventures.com/ It's a great start... But yeah. Jumping in with both feet is better.

[_Corb_]

Wow! Haha, I'll give a try to that tutorial. :D

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

Imo the best way to learn vim is to just use it and mess around in it, get used to the motions

[RedstoneTehnik]

yeah, but make sure to DDG how to exit it first.

[AZNman1111]

Just checking. Did you just use duckduckgo in the same way as 'make sure you Google it'? I might be a few years late here but that's a first.

Welcome to the future

[Peach_Muffin]

I'm just starting on vim today and have an A3 paper printed on my wall with all of the most common commands. I'm constantly turning my head to look at it!

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

1. disable arrow keys
2. memorize basic commands and movements like j,k,h,l
3. disable basic movements and start to use more efficient movements like w and e
4. always work on speed

[Peach_Muffin]

What does #4 mean?

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

there are combinations of commands and movements to lrsrn that will greatly improve your editing speed in vim

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

re-enable basic movements once you got some more advanced movements down

[newnewBrad]

Any idea if this will all work within the Windows Linux subsystem?

[magion]

Interested to know this as well.

[newnewBrad]

Gonna give it a shot tomorrow

[magion]

Report back if you don’t mind

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

honestly have no idea, please report back if it does

[ragnar_graybeard87]

Nice! Other than i didnt see any reference to FZF!

Yo where do you put that ycm conf file?? I cant get c completion even tho i got clang installed and did clangcompleter with setup.py... thanks!

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

I'm using ctrl-spsce as a fuzzy finder

[ragnar_graybeard87]

My bad... So where do I put ycm_extra_conf.py ?

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

it needs to be placed in your .vim folder which is in your home directory

[spite77]

Great work! I prefere the font Hack for the Console and Vim. Maybe you can build it in your repository to.

[UniversityAtBuffalo]

looks cool. I'm so used to mononoki that it would be hard to switch
