inspiration

If you want to go deeper, read Practical Vim by Drew Neil (The Pragmatic Bookshelf). Many of the topics here follow its tips. It's the best book on Vim there is.

The lesson list started from Vim-Katas by @adomokos, a set of exercises built around the same book. Everything you read and type here is original: no text from either was copied.

vim & neovim

The drills behave like Neovim because parts of its behaviour (text objects, search, operators, marks, digraphs, window layout) were carefully reimplemented from Neovim's source. Those files keep Neovim's licenses: Apache-2.0, plus the Vim license for parts inherited from Vim. Neovim's built-in help (:h) was the reference for every lesson. Please consider donating to Vim's charity, ICCF Holland, if Vim has helped you.
