Vim 101 Hacks

Foreword
There are a lot of editors, most of which offer only modest functionality and
little comfort. Well, all of these tools have their place, but a professional
user needs professional tools. You have opted for Vim - a very good choice.
Vim was created when system resources were limited. These times have
passed, but the result is a highly stable editor that runs on virtually any
platform and has an exceptional command concept. It is certainly one of the
best editors available for programmers. If you are adept with it, you can
reach an incredible level of productivity. Vim offers just about everything you
could ever want from an editor. What remains can be handled with macros,
plug-ins and command line utilities.
Mastering an advanced editor is no small investment. However, after many
years of experience, I can assure you that the effort bears interest richly.
And do not forget, learning how to wield its power well can be a lot of fun,
along the way!
The best that can happen is when an experienced user shows you the way and
accompanies you as you learn. This book does exactly this. The learning
curve is quite steep. After you have mastered the basics, you will learn step
by step more advanced techniques. In order to become a master yourself,
you only need three things: practice, practice, practice. This book will guide
you for weeks or months there.
Now there is much to do, but you will have a very interesting time and gain
much by it. Enjoy using Vim effectively. It's best to start immediately.
