vi isn't a text editor as much as it's a text manipulation language.
It has a syntax, grammar, idioms, and, yes, a learning curve.
But once you learn it, it's as close to a brain-computer interface as I've experienced. You start thinking about edits as chainable operations and it literally becomes muscle memory -- if you ask someone experienced with vi how they just did a complex sequence of edits, chances are they'll have to stop and consciously walk through it because they literally didn't have to think about it the first time.
got any online course recommendations? my college recommended missing semester for the basics of the basics, but i know there are so many more and other vim workflows (easy motions etc)
although i should first start getting into touch typing
In the terminal write ‘vimtutor’, that covers the basics.
