Spawn vi or nvi (nvi2 under OpenBSD, it has unicode). Then, press [esc] and run: :viusage [Return] [Esc] :exusage[Return] Now you know the basics. Viusage: keyboard commands while in editing mode. Exusage: typed commands for the command (:) mode.

Love vi, made a Vimgolf like app called: https://vimgolf.ai because I like vi so much. Although the app uses neovim underneath the hood because it had an easier API to work with.

Great site! I've been wanting to learn it for the past couple of weeks, but didn't have enough motivation to sit trhough tutorials. +1

I learned vi(m) using https://vim-adventures.com/. It's $25 US for a 6-month license, which is a bit short. But I felt I got my money's worth out of it and continue to use and love vi(m) to this day.

Big fan of vim adventures too! It definitely gamifies the learning of vim. Mine is more for the vim enthusiast who want to measure up against other vim power users.

Thank you! It’s an unfinished project of mine. Still looking at adding more levels and allowing users to upload their own.

Can I suggest dropping the sign up requirement and email verification to try it out?

I agree! I am just working the containerization of the vim instances. Right now using k8, but wasting $$$ on infra. Moving to cloudflare containers to save that $$$ and make it more available. In the mean time, temporary email sites are allowed and not black listed.
