Get anywhere without the arrow keys: characters, words, lines, the whole file and the screen. Counts multiply every motion.

The many doors into Insert mode, and the tricks that work without leaving it: deleting words, overwriting text, borrowing a Normal command, pasting registers, typing characters your keyboard lacks and doing quick maths.

Vim's grammar: an operator (d, c, y, gU, >…) plus a motion. Learn to make changes that repeat with a single ..

Land exactly where you mean: find characters on a line, jump between brackets, leave marks and travel the jump list.

Operate on words, sentences, paragraphs, quotes, brackets and tags as single units, no matter where the cursor is inside them.

Select characters, lines or rectangular blocks first, then act. Includes block editing for columns of text.

Vim's many clipboards: the unnamed register, named registers, the yank register, the black hole and appending.

Record a sequence of keystrokes once and replay it anywhere, on many lines, or as many times as you need.

Jump anywhere by typing what you see, then bend the pattern to your will: whole words, case, very magic regexes, match boundaries, offsets, and gn to edit match after match.

The command line: ranges, :t and :m, :normal across lines, :substitute, :global and repeating the last command.

Split the screen, move between windows, close and rearrange them, and organise whole layouts with tab pages.

Defaults Neovim adds on top of Vim: Y, commenting with gc, Q, &, visual * and the bracket mappings.
