I am ashamed to say that this made me giggle like a girl.
I guess I'm the kind of guy that understands and learns in this way better than seeing visual cheatsheets or long-winded reference pages. Up until now I've just been remembering particular sets of vim commands but this will really make me a lot more productive I'm sure. :)
I am not fully vim fluent, but I found this presenting angle confusing at best.
Perhaps it helps to remember more easily if one already knows and uses all the basic commands. Personaly I don't use vim all the time and have trouble keeping a good mental model of the different commands behaviour depending on the state of the document.
Telling me "hey, y is not some command acting against a state, it is a verb, just use it with nouns like you use verbs!" is just counterproductive.
completely off-topic, but I had a hard time to visualize how it is to "giggle like a girl". Even googling and youtubing left me puzzling at the exact way to giggle you wanted to express. It is kind of fun and curious.
PS: responded to this post for the OT bit. not that it was a direct reply.
I agree. This article helps me understand why Vim has been so fun for me to use.
I guess I have been doing this naturally for years and didn’t realize it till just now. It’s almost a telepathic connection; just think the word and the computer responds.
