I know\, because I learned the hard way: figuring out the stuff t hat isn’t obvious. But it needn’t take years of your life to reach thi s level. I’ll show you everything that matters in this 4 hour masterclas s. \n\n We’ll deal with Vim’s core functionality. The features that ar e relevant no matter whether you’re working with server config files\, s ource code\, or prose. My tips will improve your workflow across the board . \n\n Once you’ve mastered Vim\, you will resent having to use any othe r text editor. And that’s okay\, because Vim runs everywhere! \n\n Who i s it for \n\n This Core Vim masterclass is aimed at the intermediate user who wants to level up. \n\n \n you are familiar with the basics (not sure ? Go through vimtutor) \n you have moved beyond using the arrow keys (not sure how? Read habit making\, habit breaking) \n you feel that something i s holding you back from reaching the next level \n \n\n Come and see how V im can blow your mind\, or your money back. \n\n What you will learn \n\n \n learn how to repeat the last change using the dot command \n meet the d ot formula - a 2 step process with 1000 uses \n move your cursor wherever you want it to go with as little as 2 keystrokes \n attain enlightenment b y understanding text objects \n Stop using counts! I will teach you to app ly the same change over a visual range with the :normal command. \n know t he 2 lines of attack for text operations\, and why old-style vi operators trump Visual mode \n DRY up your workflow with macros - your robotic sidek ick \n learn how to execute your macros across multiple files using the ar glist \n \n\n If you've already read Practical Vim\, then you may be famil iar with the concepts covered in this class. The coursework doesn't corres pond to any single chapter of my book\, but joins the dots between the mos t important tips. We learn best by doing (as Confucius put it: "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."). In this class y ou'll get your hands dirty\, learning best practices by applying them. \n\ n How it works \n\n When you sign up for the masterclass\, I'll ask for yo ur github username. The learning materials are in a private github reposit ory\, to which you'll be granted access. We'll work through a series of ex ercises that are designed to teach Vim best practices. I teach this class using a combination of slides and live coding. \n\n We’ll be using bare Vim (not vi - we’re not savages). You’ll be asked to leave your .vimrc at the door before entering my Vim Dojo. \n\n Who is teaching \n\n I'm Dr ew Neil. You may know me as the voice of Vimcasts. I'm passionate about Vi m\, and have made it my mission to help people get the most from this awes ome tool. I wrote Practical Vim (Pragmatic Bookshelf\, 2012) because I fel t that learning Vim was too hard. It's the book that I wanted to read when I started out with Vim. \n\n I've taught this Vim Core masterclass around Europe and at conferences\, including Strangeloop\, Oredev\, Rocky Mounta in Ruby Conference\, and wroclove.rb. \n\n What you will get \n\n \n acces s to the VimDojo - an interactive lesson plan (vimtutor++) \n a copy of th e slides used to teach the course\, with annotations \n a 25% discount cou pon for Practical Vim \n an exclusive hour-long screencast that summarises the class \n \n LAST-MODIFIED:20231212T102856 LOCATION: ORGANIZER:mailto:drew@vimcasts.org SUMMARY:Core Vim Class Online URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/studio-nelstrom/core-vim-class-online-1 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/studio-nelstrom/core-vim-class-online-1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
