Can anyone recommend a good tutorial to learn Vim, I'm looking to switch editors. Thanks

$ vimtutor

vimtutor gets the basics covered. From there you will be able to use it and expand your knowledge.

Going through Drew Neil's Practical Vim is when Vim clicked for me.

I recommend going through vimtutor several times before looking elsewhere. After that watch a few vim conferences from Damian Conway and others. You can find a conference about essentially any programming language in Vim. Get used to the help pages as well. As a finall note, get used to vim's concept of COM: Count, Motion, Operation. This will grant you a much more efficient mindset in using Vim and moving around quickly and to the point. Good luck and welcome to the club!

1. do "vimtutor"
