How to learn Vim?

The most important thing when learning Vim is to learn by doing. Additionally, prioritize learning the Vim keybindings, over using the Vim editor.

I would go about it in the following steps:

  1. Familiarize yourself with Vim using the actual Vim editor. To get started, I recommend doing the vimtutor tutorial.
  2. Enable Vim keybindings in all your editors and keep using it. Don't stress about learning advanced features, the basics are enough to start being productive.
  3. When you are familiar and feel like something could be done more efficiently, Google how to do it and learn along the way.
