Have you run the tutor? If not, do it.

The idea is to get the right customs into your reflexes rather than pop
up annoying messages which get on your nerves and also _worsen_ your
productivity every time you don't do "as the master said".

Indeed, there are often many ways to obtain a given result in Vim, and
usually none of them can be said to be "the best for everyone every
time" to the exclusion of all other ways to get the same result.

Matter in point: some users will bash you no end for using ←↓↑→ when
"the Vim way", they say, means never using them, and always using only
hjkl instead. Others say that since Vim supports the arrow keys, you may
use them if you want to (and your keyboard provides them). I'm not
saying on which side of that fence I stand but maybe you can guess it.


Best regards,
Tony.
