I am actually working on a project called vimgolf.ai, where I am looking at giving users the ability to practice these commands. Right now, only have a few levels, but looking at expanding to account for 80% of the commands used on a daily basis. If anybody's interested, please check out. Though please be aware at this time, the site does crash from time to time. Still working on scaling the nvim instances across nod…

Had a play with this - good idea, well executed and I'll return when you've got more levels!

Thanks! Means a lot!

I don't know why but it makes me happy that vim is getting so much attention from not-so-experienced developers. Great job OP! I like how you're not focusing on creating a complete list of commands but instead including only the ones you use and expanding it as you learn more. Aside: I find it fascinating how you can often deduce how long someone has been using vim based on how they accomplish certain tasks. It made…

Hilarious seeing this. About five minutes ago I ran

:q!

echo “” > file.txt

vi file.txt

I have a ways to go:)

Love seeing vim and neovim being used in more open source projects. Despite the huge learning curve, once vim becomes second nature, it's hard to go back to using the mouse. At least, that's how it was for me. Thanks for creating this cheat sheet, I'm sure lots of beginners will find it useful!

Hey! I am sure it only takes time to become a master of it :) I think what makes people stick is exactly the fact that its configurable, as the sheer process of messing with your setup is fun in itself, not just the flow it can possibly give you! I really do hope that indeed others will find it useful <3

Hey! I saw your post on reddit a while ago! I think though that removing the sign in would definitely be nice for less bounce as others on reddit said. Otherwise i I think it's fun! If you'd like to we can talk or mention eachother's project on our site to get a backlink and also to help noobs (like me, haha) go back and forth, because I think having a cheatsheet and somewhere to practice also could be fun and the audience might be interested in one-another! You can add me on Discord under "pici_csomi" if you want to talk :)

Absolutely! I'm very confident people will find it useful. Are you also perhaps going to include a light mode version of the website? It's currently hard to look at it when the sun is shining in my screen. I think other people would like it as well!

Interesting, I don't recall posting on reddit. Perhaps, you are referring to vimgolf.com? - definitely, will do!

Sure! Actually it is already in there if your Chrome is in light mode, but I couldn't yet figure out how toggle the themes yet with the theme-changer npm. :D When I get back in the evening I'll write this down! Feel free to open an issue for it also!

The free version of the IntelliJ IDEs are reasonably good, at least if you are using one of the languages that the free versions support.

Actually I have not even seen the free versions yet as I was always priviliged with the paid ones by my school. I do not think I'll check them out though, already invested time in configuring and you know... sunk cost fallacy :D

> sunk cost fallacy

Not as much as you think. Learning vim translates to a lot of things. I started learning vim by using vim emulator on vscode for a week, once I was comfortable with moving around in a file I moved to using neovim, learned lua to set it up the way I wanted. Eventually ended up just using lazyvim with some custom opts, custom keybindings and plugins I like.

But the point really is, what you learn in vim can be carried to most (if not all) code editors. Most will have a way to setup custom key bindings or a vim emulator.

I say that because there are times when you need to use a code editor that most devs use (mostly vscode) to work with other devs. And for those times, I really appreciate that I can keep using vim motion and key bindings.
