In my personal experience of learning Vim, it is very difficult to learn Vim by reading documentation or watching other people operate it. You have to be in the real world, in real scenarios, to familiarize yourself with the commands and master them.
Therefore, to meet the needs of learning and operating at the same time, all the files in the project are in Markdown format, which can be read as an explanation document, and can also be opened in Vim. You can read it as an explanatory document, and you can also use Vim to open the files for actual operation (the latter is recommended).
- clone project to local
git clone https://github.com/dofy/learn-vim.git
- go to the project folder
cd learn-vim/en
- open the file
chapter01.md
in Vim
vim chapter01.md

The < and > in commands such as f<X> do not need to be typed, <X> represents a
variable, i.e. you can type fa or fb or fC
_Note: Commands are case-sensitive (matters requiring attention appear in
symbols such as the current line)_
Note
If you already have your own .vimrc
file (refer to
Chapter 4) and have changed some of the defaults in it, it
may cause some operations to not match the tutorial. In this case, you can run
Vim
with the following command:
# Do not load the configuration file
vim -u NONE
# Load a specific configuration file
vim -u <filename>
