Vi - Vim Tutorial. Howto video for the amazing vim editor.

Great tuto, thanks!

This is a great video. Thanks!

Excellent, easy to follow tutorial and just to try it out I'm typing this response using Vim, I've had it on my Ubuntu install for ages and spent moretime trying to decide between Vim and Emacs than actually learning either one. Guess you just swung it! Now, how do I copy this????

very nice!...simple and direct...exactly what I was looking for in an introduction.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooow, I know I will sound like a troll, but really why would go the trouble of learning all those key combinations in command mode, if I can easily do the same functionality with the modifier keys (ctrl, shift alt) in other more intuitive editors?

Because in UNIX vi/vim is often the available/installed editor. if you don't have access to those other editors, what do you do? learn it mate. You'll be doing yourself a favour.

what a noob.....

Oh yeah, I am a noob, because I don't use a tool that is unintuitive as it can get.

ok thats good....but if you are programmer, you will need many tool

Good tutorial. I like to learn it by actually seeing it done rather than trying to memorize a bunch of commands.
