My VIM Config & All The Necessary Shortcuts
Hello my dear coders,
You know how much I like VIM. In this video, I've tried to show all the necessary shortcuts to make a quick start with VIM. I've been using VIM for more than a year now. However, I must admit, I am still an amateur. VIM is not something that you can master completely. Dedicate two hard months to trying VIM, and you'll find that you can't give it up.
Many of you may encounter difficulties when downloading and setting up VIM, as I know from my own experience.
