I’ve been using vim for about 3 years now. However, I feel like I haven’t drilled the efficiency into my habits yet. Most of what I do in normal mode is

  • simple things like dd, yy
  • search and replace
  • $ and _
  • j and k
  • doing a task 5 times until finally making a macro

In particular, I’m horrible at relative line numbers, horizontal movements, and a couple vertical movements like % and marks.

I wanna feel like a fast and competent vim thinker but I’m just not. Is there any way I can undo my bad habits?
