Re: How to learn vim

Dear list,

I am interested in improving my vim knowledge, so I tried
seeking on the internet about tutorials. But in most of the
cases you only find useful cheat sheets, extremely basic
command (i.e., hjklg...) or over-complicated plugins that
once activated seems to start random actions while typing.

Now, I know I am probably missing the obvious. But can
anyone point me to tutorial to learn more than moving
around in the file? Or you learnt in some other way?

Your sincerely,
Paolo

Paolo, 

Have you tried running vimtutor? Type :help vimtutor from within vim to read more about it. It's fairly basic, but I good place to start. Also, try www.openvim.com/tutorial.html for a clever visual tutorial. That's just one of the first things I found with a quick google search for "vim tutorial," there must be many more. 

Cheers, and happy vimming
