First of all, thank you for embrace vim.
Its a big investment but once u get a hang of it, you will not regret.
(I promise you will find heaven after first stress learning curve.)
Second, vimtutor is awesome. You must read & do what its manual said until the last line and repeat some of tasks if u dont quite comfortable. (around 25 - 30 minute of ur time.)
And lastly for a learning vim booster, vim has its own language. If tried vimtutor and scratch ur head and ask ur self "How this things is make sense?", I freaking recommend this talk to see how people actually talk to vim (https://robots.thoughtbot.com/maste...)
(Try ditching any text editor & mouse usage while using vim. U will get the hang of vim about 1 weeks (2-3 days depends on ur vim usage) -
Oh, and dont use ESC key, use ctrl + [ to send esacpe key instead.
Your hand movement is shorter than press ESC key -
acsim2797yI learned vim the hard way back in school. Forced myself to code an entire assignment in vim. So I'd say pick a kata or a simple project (if you're learning a new framework)
