If you just want to learn general Vim editing skills, I'd suggest typing
`vimtutor` into your shell and going through the lessons. Repeat daily
until it's second nature.
If you're wanting to know how to do the 3 specific things you mentioned,
then:
> a) Columnar mode selection
Not entirely sure what you mean by this, but Vim has "blockwise visual
mode", which may be what you're looking for. Enter it by pressing
Ctrl-V.
> b) ability to sort lines
The :sort command does this. See `:help :sort` for details.
> c) Word Wrap (at least nothing that jumped out)
`:set wrap` and possibly `:set linebreak` as well.
If you have more specific questions, then I or others on the list can
probably give you more detailed information.
