Re: Any non-programmer users of Vim here?

Well, I found time to work through the vim tutor exercise. Pretty basic. Not sure I remember what I learned -- I liked that it said don't try to memorize, to learn by doing -- and in a fog about some things I'm clear about, e.g., how to open a file, how to find out where a file is being saved, how to save a file to a specific folder, etc., and many, many more I'm not. It will come.

Haven't the faintest idea how to use the manual, i.e., how to open the files listed in the table of contents. I think I need to get one of the books.

Something I learned on one of the websites: Vim comes installed on Macs.

Enough for today. Thanks for all the encouragement and guidance.
