I see, I could add a whole chapter on useful vim plugins! Thanks for the suggestion! In addition to surround, what other plugins do you think beginners should almost always use?

Thanks for the guidance! I'll look into how typingclub works, I'm new to this business stuff.

Hey I'm on a mac too, but I can't seem to reproduce the bug. Perhaps there is a safari extension, or a native application that is interfering? Sorry I wasn't much help, please let …

Huh, thanks for letting me know, no one else has mentioned this issue, and I haven't experienced the issue either. Can you let me know which browser and OS you're using? This seems…

Yes, in a narrow sense. I would say I know it well enough now to edit code faster than using a regular editor. It would be difficult for a lot of people to say they've fully learne…

I kind of get where they're coming from, but I hope all my messages in this thread have made it clear: If you want to learn vim, please try all the available free resources before …

Definitely try out the free resources for learning vim before ever considering Vimified, or any paid option! I used vimtutor and openvim to get started, and they're fantastic free …

Thanks for the feedback! The 8 lessons you mention are actually 8 chapters. There are actually 34 lessons right now (you can see the lessons if you click on the chapters to expand …

Thanks for asking, I initially had them like you suggested but with the way I was doing it, it made it kind of hard to make responsive. For the hero especially, the words didn't li…

Hey, sorry the landing page is a little unclear. You gain access with the email you use to purchase (the buy button is all the way at the bottom, which I could with improving its l…

Nope. If you're already comfortable in your code editor of choice and like it, there's no good reason to switch. However, if you've seen people use it in real life or in youtube vi…

Thanks for asking, I actually have practiced vim on shortcutfoo. It is really good for remembering shortcuts for regular desktop applications, but I felt that it wasn't really mean…

Yup. I had tried to use vim and quit because I thought it was needlessly cumbersome. What changed my opinion was watching videos of people using vim on youtube that made me interes…

It can also be a boon. One of the things some vim users like is always being able to discover something new, after using it for years. I'm not really in this camp though, I would p…

I think most people would agree with you. Being comfortable in your editor of choice and knowing the shortcuts in it will already make you faster than trying to use vim from scratc…

Thanks! If you wanted any features that are missing, let me know!

On it! Edit: hmm, can't find any errors. Can you reply with the first 3 letters of your email? You can also contact me via the email located at the bottom of the page.

Definitely a hurdle to overcome for beginners. Although, it would help to show beginners exactly why abandoning the mouse will be better in the long run. It wouldn't do well for th…

Oh yes, when I was trying to fully learn vim, I had the mentality that I could just practice it for 10 minutes a day and be able to use it while editing code. The remaining time I …

I think they were speaking from a total beginner's perspective, and how to get them up to speed as fast as possible. I felt the same way when first learning vim, since it was compl…

Ah, I see. I agree, more context would be better for the beginner to understand why the lessons are the way they are. I tried to explain the benefits of vim in the "Why Vim?" secti…

Hi, I understand where you're coming from. My introduction to vim was through vimtutor and it was free! I agree with your point about muscle memory. Learning !== muscle memory. How…

Hey show HN! This course came about as a result of wanting a more targeted way of practicing using new vim commands I wanted to pick up, rather than just trying to use them in my r…

Interesting, but if my legal information is still shared with the company, what are the benefits of getting paid in crypto?
