Comment on Learn to speak vim - verbs, nouns, and modifiersparent

Comments

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.
