Tip for all of you: use autohotkey or something similar to map TAB+[hjkl] to your arrows. This way you can use hjkl everywhere. Also map tab+X to delete ( vim like ) and what I did is tab+n to backspace. The long-reaching pinky movement is deadly to your fingers.
So, expert-level vim means customizing your vimrc to reduce keystrokes? That's disappointing. I'd rather see a talk on how a vim expert can fly with vim out of the box. Like that tip on dumping a macro into a file and editing it -- more of that!
The thing about hjkl is that you often don't use them anymore once you get intermediate. But I don't think you can get there if you never started using hjkl at first.

This is really expert level... like not just vim, expert level eyesight and all other stuff...
Why didn't you record the screen so we can follow along?
Do we all agree that this isn't expert-level at all ?

Nice joke camera guy
Expert level? Come on dude, those are basics..
jumped to the comments because I thought presentation (and camera work) overall sucked and other comments same
Not disclosing vimrc? Lol
Love this. Had no idea what leaders were before this, and also got a few good plugins out of this too.
There's a guy who asks a question about running tests async in Vim.
Excellent video, listened to the whole thing and there are some great tips in there.
Ben is a good presenter. That said a video about commands should show the commands not the presenter -1 for the videographer. VIM is the best! ~mc
there are some hidden gems in this talk
quit watching after 10 min and not learning a single new thing. i already knew how to open help :-)
Great stuff.
Worst camera guy I've every seen. Showing the guy not the screen.

When he did holding J and holding K how is it so smooth?
