A thoughtful and expert guide to the most useful features of vim

No rating

I'm an experienced vim user who wanted to refine some of my existing approaches to vim as well as learn about advanced features. This book delivers on that in spades. Presented in a friendly, bite-sized approach that highlights not only individual techniques but how to synthesize them into the "vim way" as well, it's a pleasant read and beautifully explained, although you necessarily need to be interested in the subject matter beforehand. There isn't a better book for the purpose than this one, to the best of my knowledge. Plan on sampling and re-sampling the book over time.
