> Please do not confuse PacMan with pacman (the arch Linux package manager). PacMan is a classic, popular arcade game released in the 1980s.

This is the most wonderful praise one could give to Arch.

Obligatory mention of vim adventures [0] and vim tutor [1] :)

Will try this as well as this seems to be something between nethack and vim adventures?

[0] https://vim-adventures.com/

[1] man vimtutor

Edit: arch has a package for it in the aur pacvim-git so pacaur/packer/yaourt can be used to easily install it

Edit2: the game doesn't really teach you anything this is basicly vim adventures without any explanation :/ would have liked something to give vim beginners to get comfortable with the keybinding while actually learning them

Or try kakoune, a more discoverable and ergonomic rewrite of vim.

Why not nano where all your questions are answered on the lower part of the screen?

nano is not a bad editor. It has a very straightforward learning curve but it is less featured and extensible.

kakoune has more features and high quality plug-ins than nano.

kakoune also interoperates better with tmux.
