< Learning Vim, what am i doing?

~yretek

My tip: learn just what you need to get the job done, then build from that. That has the added bonus that you can use vi style commands in many GUI applications.

One of my favorite web apps is Overleaf, which is a handy front end for LaTeX, which I use on a daily basis at work. Simply because it's much faster than Libre Office and that kind of thing.

Now, Overleaf accepts a range of VIM commands. Now I can do 150dd and the following 150 lines are deleted, but I still have my mouse available if it's more practical.
