Reddit reviews Vi iMproved (VIM)

I suggest getting a book, since they are typically far more readable.

I first learned Vim with Steve Oualline's book.

More recently, Drew Neil's Practical Vim and Modern Vim are excellent choices.

Your local public library may well have some good books on Vim as well, if not these exact titles.

I didn't realize there were so many vim books now honestly. I Started off with this one. Worked well for me.

Would like to know what people think of Hacking Vim 7.2? My book is pretty old these days, wondering if this one is a bit more advanced?

vim can do almost anything

it's often used for programming but could be customized easily
