I'm all for the people who want to use nerdy software like Vim to do things in their own special way without ever touching a mouse, but I'm amused thinking, how dense is the UX of your text editor if people are coming up with creative forms of training to learn it?

#22The pricing says one time payment but the price is $25 for 6 months.
Is this 6 months of access or 6 months of updates and lifetime access to those updated versions?

6 months of access to current and updated version from purchase date. But considering making it lifetime if there’s popular demand for it via feedback.

I don’t know I feel pretty crazy having created this all to make learning vim easier. Not all Vim users are like me. Why don’t you try it out?

The reason I started with vim was to do live writing of latex notes while listening to conference lectures, on a small notebook. I did not want to bring a mouse with me due to the extra weight and usually lack of a mouse surface.
With the constraint that you simply don't have a mouse available, vim turned out to be faster from day 1 than alternative editors. Even knowing just a couple of vim movements.
And then I liked it and wanted to learn more.

I was asked to zap some characters which I did. Then I realized I zapped the wrong character... and that's when I realized I'm in a text editor and I have no clue how to type text LOL.
