Before trying these courses , Please try vimtutor that comes bundled with vim . After practicing with vimtutor , you can try these additional courses.

For anyone wondering, you use it by executing vimtutor in terminal (not in vim).

Also, you exit by pressing ESC and then typing :q (hit enter)

Does anybody have recommendations on how to go from "comfortable" to "expert"?

I've been using vim as my daily driver via the intellij plugin for a few years. I mostly just navigate and never do anything complicated, it gets the job done.

For example I mostly use w, d, o, hjkl, y, p, w, b, t and recently discovered the `c+i` combo which is awesome.

But I feel like there's still a side of vim I haven't conquered.

Any tips?

I've been using Vim for many years and felt like there was constantly stuff to learn. So a partner and I started an email newsletter that sends tips twice a week:

The idea was that by forcing myself to write about Vim consistently, I would learn and absorb more and boy has it worked.
