@yash1152 Thanks a lot 😊. Pinned it. 📌
@@sagaratytube I think if you paste it to the description it creates those nice timelines on the video
@@-Ambrosia Thanks I will paste.
I think a very important part of learning and teaching Vim is to associate words with the letter key commands…
y = yank
o = open
b = beginning
e = end
f = find
t = to
Etc…
unfortunately this doesn't extend to letters like h, j, k and l
@@sleekism yes, although something I sawq in another video that initially helped me memorize was to see 'J' as an arrow pointing down, 'L' as pointing right (and from there remember K and H haha)
@@Alberto_Cavalcante makes sense
I have t mapped in my brain as ‘til
@@Alberto_CavalcanteI always think that way, probably because I used to play flash games when I was child.
Providing this amount of information in 7 minutes is just amazing. Keep up the good work
Thanks!
ai voice and chatgpt man
@@fra4897 Still pretty useful regardless
@@fra4897 it doesn;t matter man. It provides value and it's fine
I used to be a progressional 3D designer years back and I remember the point where navigating the menu via mouse because a huge strain on my ability to model in a timely manor. So bit by bit I slowly started to learn new shortcuts and I was just blazing through menus. Super excited to do the same with Vim after using pycharm for years.
Pycharm has IdeaVim plugin, and the LSP is WAAAAAAY better in Pycharm
After watching, just one video, I love this channel more than everything!❤❤❤
One of the best beginner vim tutorials out there! Super condenced and well-presented information, going from simple to slightly more advanced with a good learning curve.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative and focussed. Liked how your thumbnail is not any clickbaity image or reaction face but a cheat sheet on the subject, which we can later reference.
Hope you keep it up.
Thanks a lot.
Could you share a high-res version of the thumbnail so we can use it as a cheat sheet?@@sagaratytube
this video is worthy to be bookmarked!
Dang. Been using VIM for 20+ years and I learned a few new tricks. Awesome video!!
vi and vim are editors in Linux, the difference is that vim is more suitable for coding, the function is more powerful than vi.
1, command mode º(also known as general mode or ordinary mode, open the file default mode):
2, edit mode (also known as input mode):
3. Last line mode (bottom line command mode):
I use vim quite a lot last time but stop using it for sometimes(i think I change os and loss my vim configuration) and also using more vscode. I forgot some vim motion when I want to pick up vim again, but this video let me recall all those vim motion and learn some new stuff. Although this is basic but its important to master it. thanks for such amazing video.
Thanks!!
Good video! Didn't waste time getting into it at all.
Although for those who wanna learn Vim and FAST, I suggest removing all the text editors in your PC and only use Vim for 60 days. Worked for me
Nice trick 😀. Using vimtutor helped me lot. I think it is most underrated vim resource. Vimtutor is program made inside vim documentation. You can trigger it inside vim using vimtutor command.
Great video. I've been a vim user for a while but still learned a couple things
I have watched so many nvim videos with millions views but this is the best. So much info wirh no nonsense and densely packed.
This was very informative watch.. Unlike other videos on vim motions, your video was nicely paced and easy to follow..
thank you! consice and straight to a point
I was learning form the :Tutor, My mind is blown away, I took a break, saw your video and now I'm speechless
Vim is a incredible piece of software!
Nice content !!
Thanks for sharing, that's waaaay too much to learn now 😅
How do you exit?
Smashed the like button! Thank you.
good video really like the way you sample everything
I rarely write comments, but this video deserves it!
Great work
Amazing video. Thanks sir.
wow i have habit of just immediately closing whatever media i am playing whenever i hear a TTS. You, my friend, have assisted me in making myself aware of this habit XD
the flow of this video makes it really lucid to following along to. Thanks man i am not even a year deep into unix experience and this is really useful for me!
Great to hear!
It's good to remember cit and cat as:
Change in tag
Change around tag
Same applies to any character, e.g. ci{ as in change inside of {.
Helps with memorizing these shortcuts.
The only video one should watch for vim.
Perfect
BLAZINGLY FAST! 💨
Vim is amazing ❤
Awesome video and so many things to memorize only for these motions haha. But I installed the vscode plugin and just gong to start using it
Thank you, very cool video! I'm trying to learn vim, and especially get used to use it.
I'll subscribe and take a look also at the other videos in your channel 👌🌝
A hug from Spain
Thanks!!!
Very helpful. I know most of these and I forget that I even know them as its mostly muscle feel now. Thats kind of the point of them though. Its always good freshen up though and my tips for beginners to practice them by hiding your mouse for 30 minutes a day and just do your best to figure things out with a reference sheet handy.
Really thr best crash course for everything also you missed di" to delete things inside " my favourite one btw . Please do a part and i love you you thought me somethings ehich i dont know existed
it would be great if you added these videos to their specific playlist, so that we follow along.
Really enjoyed it because it was like a list of things i can learn. Hope this and the next videos blow up ❤.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! 😀
best tips for last hehe. I will have to implement double backtick and backtick period into my workflow :)
Perfect!
Can you provide me a link to the image used in your thumbnail?
Great video too. Thanks
Great work. Kindly do work on a advanced Vim Video if possible.
Great video, thank you!
Literally Full condensed too much to learn in 7 mins but love the quality and quantity of learning in least time.
OMG * key to find word under cursor??
MIND BLOWN!
Finally a video i was looking for 😅
Great 😃👍
More vim tutorials please.
Where do you say how to go about changing between modes?
Thanks.
Thanks
thank you
Pretty good video. However the highlighted keyboard is a little bit confusing as all characters shown are uppercase, especially since vim motions are case-sensitive.
Terminal mode. Ex Mode. Operator pending mode, Visual block mode, Visual line mode, you want modes? We have them all.
Hey bro, what's that font?
What plugin is that for your keyboard?
Why are you showing all of this in vscode instad? I just don't get it.
Thid is good but it glossed over the most useful part of the video, doing things like ciw and yap - it would have been so much better if you spent the time these motions deserve. They got the same amount of screen time as using uuuuuu, which is far easier to understand
Excellent !!!
phew i know almost all these and use it daily. i should use I and A more often and I didn't know the s insert mode. Overall nice overview. I'd personally add going to a function definition and back as that's a really nice feature that people want to use. it's LSP feature rather than vim but still, i'd assume many people would use an LSP
True, vscode by default has most LSP servers. I kept advanced features back for the next video. @ardnys35
What's the theme?
idk what was i expecting
damn so happy that i found you
Nice
Demn! Pretty nice 💯
Is this AI text to speech?
Pretty sure it is. But it's quite impressive that we're at a point where you can't tell at first
100%
Absolutely it is.
For sure it is.
Yes
I feel like I need to give a lot of time just to learn vim, like I'm learning a new programming language literally
Use a vimtutor, it will give you a really good start 👍
that's because you're learning all at once. the first day focus on using hjkl for moving and I to get into insert mode and v for visual mode and delete something once you select something with d, and slowly learn new keys for different things
0:39 "Blazingly Fast" *writes down whole neovim codebase in rust 🦀
I'm on my first steps on Odin Project, and this tutorials of yours will help a lot.
Thank you so much.
Hope for more.
Glad to hear that
Hey did you complete the foundations
@@getoutoftheway419 On the go, and enjoying it. I finally do understand things I always wish to.
I love that step 1 of the Odin Project is
1) Install linux 😂
The quality of info saved you from dislike for AI voice
Thanks. I only knew 85 percent of these. Once you Vim you can't stop. I use Spacemacs, btw.
Thanks!!
Likked and Subscribes. Thanks nice video
Thanks for the sub!
I love VIM mindset BUT I really dont understrand why someone use it as a primary editor.
I pressed some keyboard shortcut and I was thrown out of this video.
how did you managed to use the vim keyset in vscode?
EDIT: ok I just saw the video without jumping the introduction, you literally show the thing lol
This is too much information in a 7 min video. Thank you
There's no way I'm learning all this shit, man
The zewow key
GPT much?
Halvorson Lodge
Im sure this video will blow up
Btw, here's a suggestion...
Please edit the keyboard keys in post production... The realtime one is really frictional
Thanks a lot!!!
Yes, you are correct. Will try the same in next.
Why isn’t the letter T purple in the thumbnail!? It’s making me go crazy
Missed that 😕
@@sagaratytube I was only bothered because the picture otherwise was so correct! Well done 👍
Blazingly fast😂😂😂
why vim so hard
it's not hard, it has a steep learning curve! ;)
functionality is cool, the hotkeys are pure garbage
Learn Vim Motions I think
One word: dvorak
you know what else can be used instead of W, B, and E keys? Using SHIFT + ARROW KEYS FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
with that pfp at first I thought this video was made by telegram haha
Schulist Lodge
A lot of keys to learn, seems not simple ☠️
but whyyy ?!
It's the same mental jump as from right mouse click -> copy to ctrl-c. There's probably no debate which one is better, just have to get used to it and you're not coming back
Best
Good video but you need to change that channel logo man !
@abhishekpatil4497 is it better?
@@sagaratytube Yes sirr !! it really feels like a original channel with original content 😍🤩 .
the holy bible
command mode != command line mode
Chat gpt ahh video
Can't stand AI voices, sorry...
yeah that's what sucks about this channel.
Really nice channel and really nice info, just the voice is horrible. There's human sound AI voices now too, he could use one of those at least.
Amazing tutorial but so much useless shit in vim lmao I love it
imagine using ai for a video like this
Vim is a joke! It might work better on a phone or tablet.
In Jesus' Name Amen ✝️
is this AI generated?
Yes, yes it is. There's too much on TH-cam. Usually I just dislike and leave, no matter what the content is, because I need to ensure the algorithm doesn't think I'm at all interested
