In this video, I share everything you need to know to learn and master Vim as a beginner. Vim has changed the way I work as a developer over the past couple of years and my hope for this video is to help you really understand the ideas and concepts behind everything so that you can learn how to take advantage of this powerful editor too! Whether that be in a full fledged Neovim or Vim setup or as a plugin in an editor like VSCode. Hope you guys enjoy it!
