Vim: The Basics

by Andrew Stanton

Table of Contents
This is my first book on VIM. I have just over three year of experience with VIM. I believe that I have enough experience to give a good introduction to the software, while being close enough to the beginner to be able to express the ideas in a way that makes sense.


I have not included exercises for you to do. I leave it to your discretion to decide when you want to practice.
