Does anyone else feel this way? I suppose I haven’t made a concerted effort to learn vim specifically (except for reading the first chapter or so of this book about vim I found), so maybe that’s why. I’ve always used vim in a fairly simple manner (basic navigating, searching, copying, cutting, pasting), and searched around for certain tricks whenever I encountered a common pattern in my editing. I think the only : command I know off the top of my head is the s command for replacing multiple occurrences of some string or pattern. And keep in mind, I’ve used this editor almost exclusively for years now. What does it take, and how long does it take, to feel like you really *know* vim?
