Vim

Moving Your Mind Into Vim Mode

I read a great post today from Yehuda Katz - Everyone Who Tried to Convince Me to use Vim was Wrong. I liked this post - it reminded me of a conversation I had just the other day - trying to explain what I like about Vim.

Vim Kata Number One

I am not an expert in Vim by any stretch, but I'm fervently trying to "get my Vim on" by getting my hands and brain to work together so I can ninjify some code. I used to do Shotokan Karate and the practice of doing your Katas - ritualized steps designed to build your muscle memory and understanding - seemed entirely appropriate to what I'm doing with Vim now.
