Well I have caved, I have taken myself down the VIM rabbit hole. It's been an experience, that's for sure.

The reason I wanted to start using VIM was because of my interest in DevOps where a lot of stuff is via the command line. There is no sexy Visual Studio Code on a Linux server.

I started off will plain VIM learnt the basics by using vimtutor I have also started to collect a list of keybindings in a cheatsheet

Then moved on to NeoVim as sweet project that builds on top of Vim...Then I cried out for help, I needed my Vim to be more like VSC without faffing around with plugins and config files

Enter LunarVim honestly out the box it's pretty solid for an absolute noob like me. It requires a learning curve as it has some key mappings for certain features like Neo-Tree or fuzzy search with Telescope.

Although this is super cool. I still need to learn the basic levels of Vim and not rely on plugins, as there aint no plugins on a Linux server.

This is where vimtutor comes in ... I have found this pretty handy, it's something I do daily to get use to Vim and it's qwerks. I have also added the Vim emulation for Visual Studio Code to help me learn Vim whilst working in my fav text editor.

Here are some resources that have helped me learn vim so far:

• Vim as your Editor YT series
• Practical Vim: Edit Text at the Speed of Thought
• NeoVim from scratch
