Re: How to begin using Vim

Once you have motivation, you will find your own path (but go slow!)

excellent suggestion, and worked well for me learning Vim!

after the basics learnt from vimtutor, just start working with vim and
leave other editors to force yourself learning

you'll encounter situations where you ask yourself if there is a 'vim
solution' --- search for it and use it! (just use a browser and mouse,
be nice to yourself)

try to learn one, maybe two new vim commands a week

train your curiosity and skills eg. by cleaning up a pdf-to-text
converted file. this is a nice way to excersise find, substitute, funny
characters. take a file that you need to use for other purposes to get
some _drive_
