Course details

Vim is the most versatile, configurable, cross-platform text editor around, available for Mac, Windows, Linux, and even legacy operating systems like Amiga. It's built for developers, with powerful commands and productivity-boosting features like dual editing mode and syntax highlighting. This course is designed to help anyone new to Vim become more efficient when editing text files, code and configuration files. Learn how to create new files; search for words and characters; move around files; edit and delete text; store text in registers; jump around files with marks ( bookmarks); and use commands to speed up common tasks. Instructor Miki Tebeka fills the course with examples and demos that show how Vim is used in the real-world, day-to-day workflow of a developer or sysadmin.

    This is a course on Vim, and in Vim everything is done with the keyboard, so you should know very well what to press and when. Unfortunately, in this course, you can't see exactly what keys the teacher is pressing to execute a given vim command. You must rely on him telling you what he is pressing (which he always does, I admit). But, there are OS plugins that automatically display what key presses the user is doing. YouTube has lots of videos on Vim where the speaker has this feature switched on. But this course doesn't, unfortunately. This should be fixed in my opinion.
