Some extra notes: 1. at 3:14 I explain the "cool" way to exit vim, you can also exit and write the "cool" way by typing ZZ (Shift+zz) in normal mode. 2. at 9:22 when I talk about system clipboards, you can also paste stuff from the system clipboard by entering "+p in normal mode 3. You can also enter visual block mode with Ctrl+v. This selects text in a block, which is useful for removing blocks of text (tabs and whitespace for instance). 4. :norm does a lot more things, however, the uses go beyond the scope of this video.
Great video! Thanks, I didn't know about the "gj" and "gk" commands (it's really a life saver). I was used to use the "norm" command with my macros but I didn't though about the "." to repeat a command to a group of lines! I have this little trick: - at 18:19 If needed, there is also the "ctrl+o" command in insert mode that allow you to do one normal mode command before returning in the insert mode. In this case it's ctrl+o "+p - at 25:30 There is also the built-in ":make" command (without the "!") if needed. You can also use the "q:" command that let you see an editable history of your previous commands (you can edit them like a normal vim buffer and run them with "Enter" in normal mode) Thanks again for sharing your passion and knowledge about vim!
Glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot more that I wanted to add to this video, but it ended up taking more time than I wanted, so be on the lookout for some more videos about vim in the future if you have interest.
Just a suggestion, next video like this - increase font size - lots of empty space and too small for those with smaller laptops to see comfortably, even at full screen.
WOW, so are so VIM newbie dude, ZZ and ZQ is there to show us that use vim for 20+ years who learn vim and who has not, the cmd mode is not slow if you know how to use VIM, but nice to see we is getting new users.
Sorry for taking a bit of time to get back to you, this week has been fairly busy. Anyway, I use neovim (a fancy for of vim) as my editor, with lualine as a statusline, the tabbar is configured with a plugin that wraps some of the functionality of the statusline, but for buffers. If your interested in seeing my configs, you can check them out at github.com/theory-of-everything/nii-nvim

Nice video reminding everyone just how awesome vim key movement is.

@@TheoryToE I'am interested to see more video. I like the way you present vim and it's functionalities
Just a suggestion, next video like this - increase font size - lots of empty space and too small for those with smaller laptops to see comfortably, even at full screen.
Thanks a lot for this cool stuff

Which wm do you use ? Is It posible to install on Linux mint
I use awesomewm. I would expect that it would be possible to install on mint. You may need additional display manager setup though.
"+y is not working in Vim
I was using airline with nerd fonts but How do you get the slanting edge in the status bar and in tab bar ?

1/2 as bloated as Luke Smith's video.

Super super simple... 😂
the best way to learn vim is to use evil mode on emacs
'vim' is 'I came' in portuguese xD
