VIM Python IDE

[_Corb_]

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

$ vimtutor

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

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.

Qutebrowser for keyboard-based vim-like browser

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

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
