Welcome to the VIM Tutor

Version 1.7

This is a copy of "vimtutor" tutorial. To practice exercises in this course just execute vimtutor command in terminal.

Vim is a very powerful editor that has many commands, too many to
explain in a tutor such as this. This tutor is designed to describe
enough of the commands that you will be able to easily use Vim as
an all-purpose editor.

The approximate time required to complete the tutor is 25-30 minutes,
depending upon how much time is spent with experimentation.

ATTENTION:
The commands in the lessons will modify the text. Make a copy of this
file to practice on (if you started "vimtutor" this is already a copy).

It is important to remember that this tutor is set up to teach by
use. That means that you need to execute the commands to learn them
properly. If you only read the text, you will forget the commands!

Now, make sure that your Caps-Lock key is NOT depressed and press
the j key enough times to move the cursor so that lesson 1.1
completely fills the screen.
