Vim

Edit at the speed of thought

Master modal editing by hand — from modes, motions, and operators through text objects, search, substitute, and macros, all the way to the practical combinations (counts, the dot formula, the global command) that make Vim genuinely fast. Every concept drilled with real keystrokes.
