anyone got a crash course in vi they recommend? i need something a little bit more featureful than nano (and limited to command line cause i'll be using it over ssh)
@squirrel HELLO! VIM USER HERE!
for a quick start, vim usually comes with something called vimtutor
just run "vimtutor" from the command line and it's an interactive tutorial for the most commonly used bits of vim
@troubleMoney oh that's handy thanks
@squirrel i can highly recommend drew neil's vimcasts series
i'd not be able to use it were it not for him http://vimcasts.org/
@colon_three i think id rather something that's not audiovisual, i prefer following text instructions at my own pace
@squirrel yeah fair enough!
@squirrel https://vim-adventures.com is basic but entertaining.
There's also the vimtutor command.
first nerd to tell me to use emacs instead gets bopped on the head
