It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the club of Vim users. I've been using Vim for a few years now, I just got into it when I was already an experienced Linux user and software developer.

I forced myself to use only Vim to edit any file when I was starting to learn it to really go through the pain. If you keep $YOUR_PREFERRED_EDITOR open "just in case" you need to edit a file really quickly, it will take longer to get used to it.

Also, I use mostly vanilla Vim (I try to keep my customizations to a minimum) and I can't really say that I know *a lot* of Vim commands. Just enough to move myself comfortably within the buffer, and between buffers. I've been using qutebrowser for a while too because once you "get it", you kind of miss the Vim mindset in other apps.

Yeah, I heard a lot of other editors and some programs have Vim keybindings mods. If I get serious, I'm going to have to figure out how to install some of those. One big task is to figure out how to use Vim with Godot game engine since I've been doing most of my receent work with that.

Thanks for the welcome and advice.
