    That’s a good question. The built in tutorial is actually really good, you can launch it with “vimtutor” on the command line. It doesn’t give you everything, but its instructions and text to try things out on in the editor itself, which I find a good way to learn. It isn’t particularly programming focused either.

    For getting used to the motions especially https://vim-adventures.com can be a fun way, in its game format.

    For getting started I’d say don’t worry about plugins much, but get https://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible at least so the defaults meant for vi don’t get in the way. The only other thing you might want is a format syntax if your preferred note syntax isn’t highlighted well by default or something. Polyglot can be good to stave that off but really I’d say learn on a really lean config, and get used to using :help or similar. It’s the best way to learn the parts that work everywhere.

    A while back I did a public Neovim options survey (here are the results). One of the goals was to gather a commonly used option values to create a "crowd-sourced" moderate version of tpope/vim-sensible. Well, this is it.

  • Vim minimalism
    2 projects | /r/vim | 18 Nov 2022
    After having built up over years my custom vimrc, using tons of addons, and even a foray into Neovim, I've decided to go with vim minimalism in my new build. I have a single "plugin" https://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible. I don't even have a custom vimrc! My raitonale is that I use an IDE for IDE'ing and vim for the cli text editing so why try to make vim my IDE. Anyone else going minimal? If so, what are the least number of addons you've been able to make?
  • Ask HN: How to become good at Emacs/Vim?

    I made the switch to vim a few years ago. You'll want to start with learning the keybindings. Every major IDE and editor out there has a "vim mode" and an "emacs mode" so pick one you like and enable it. Whenever you need to move more quickly just switch back to your usual keybindings and get it done. Once you have the keybindings memorized, try to use them everywhere. There are browser plugins like vimium that let you navigate with vim keybindings for example.

    It gets a bit weirder from there. If you pick vim for example theres a whole lot of customization rabbit holes you can go down. My advice is to find some sensible defaults and layer in stuff as you need it from there. vim-sensible[0] is a good start.

    Good luck!
