    Suggestions... hmmm...

    - vim knows how to color syntax.

    - the tab length can be configured

    - If used with screen, configure the screen activation key to be something else than alt-a

    - get familiar with ctags

    - tryout gvim

    - tryout kate (has a "vi mode")

    - tryout ksh (has a "vi mode")

    - Read https://linux.com/learn/...

    - Print out a one-page cheat-sheet

    There are lots of ways in which you can improve your "Vim experience" depending on what you need (e.g. languages, environment, etc.)

    I suggest going through old rants such as this one https://devrant.com/rants/464547/... to get some good information. If you can't find anything that suits your needs, try your favourite search engine.

    PS: Don't forget Vimtutor!

    First of all, configure
    - Color-Sheme
    - Line-numbers
    - Wildmenu
    - tabstop
    - tabwidth

    Then learn some vimscript to customize your vim like a god with
    - mappings
    - functions
    - commands

    start with a simple plugin manager. i use vundle. It is easy to install a lot of plugins to costumize it how you want. first one you should look is nerd tree.

    Hope you are typing right (https://www.ratatype.com/learn/). I have seen people use vim with arrow keys and mouse.
