Learning Vim in 3 Steps - lemy.lol

I’m new to the Linux programming scene, I’m a chemist but have been learning as a hobby and did a little BASIC and Pascal as a child, and from my experience and research the best three steps are:

  • sudo apt install nano

  • nano [filename]

  • ctrl+x

  • I’m being somewhat facetious, but haven’t enough knowledge to know if it’s better/powerful than nano, still a real green noob.

    Nano is for chemists maybe. Editing couple of lines and saving.

    But vim is one of the most powerful text editors ever created. It’s so powerful and good that it gets ridiculous. Also, from an ergonomic standpoint, your body will thank you for using vim/neovim
