#22Hahaha… Vim adventures again. People, if you are curious about Vim, just run the command below if you are on any UNIX-y machine: $ vimtutor That's really all you need. If you don't have Vim installed, just install it and run vimtutor anyway. Once you have got the basics right, no bullshit payware game or online drillings or online interactive tutorials will help you improve your skills. Only your accumulated experien…
Whatever you say, I actually learned vim with this game and also had moderate fun for only 10$ or so. It's clearly a win for me.
The big payoff with this game is that it forced me to practice. Within two hours of game play I had the 'hjkl' fixed for good.
I'll take a look at vimtutor to see if it can complement what I already learned.

This makes your terms and conditions (almost certainly) irrelevant. Judges don't look favorably on asking people to sign a contract that they can't read.

The best hacker I ever knew used dvorak. He went off the grid to become a welder or something, but he was _fast_.

I use Dvorak. I never bothered to maintain the QWERTY keyboard for vim movement. Now, it seems completely natural to navigate with the Dvorak mappings for h,j,k,l, etc. I can't easily navigate one-handed, I guess, but that is never really a problem.

hjkl are almost worthless compared to other means of navigation and you wasted 2 hours and 10$ to fix them for good.
Vimtutor teaches you most of what you learned but for free, within Vim itself and in the context of actual text editing.
If you want to learn Vim, use it.

That article is probably doing more harm than good. Using Vim with Dvorak came as naturally as switching to Dvorak from QWERTY (that is, it took some work, but now I wouldn't use anything else).

Whoever downvoted this guy was wrong. hjkl are useless. I gained vim proficiency through a few years of using it. Funny thing is that I never, ever used these keys for navigation: at the beginning I mapped arrows to them and later I just stopped using them altogether, outside of a few rare cases like block selection.
