====== Vim ======
''vim'' is a modal editor (improving on vi). It can run without graphics, is ubiquitous, powerful, and efficient but is an acquired skill. 

  * MIT's "missing semester" has an excellent lecture [[https://missing.csail.mit.edu/2020/editors/|video and notes]]. 
  * ''vimtutor'' is a program included with vim that will guide you through usage -- run it from the command line.

===== Commands =====

Victoria's review: a minimal vim session experience:

  - ''vim $filename'' -> opens a file in vim. If that file doesn't exist or you opened it in the wrong filepath, you will see an empty blank vim that says ''[NEW]'' at the bottom
  - ''i'' -> puts you in **i**nsert mode so you can freely type and move your cursor around. Says ''-- INSERT --'' in bottom left.
  - ''esc'' -> gets you out of insert mode

move around
  - ''0'' puts your cursor to the beginning of the line (in command mode)
  - ''$'' puts your cursor to the end of the line (in command mode)
  - ''Shift + i'' puts your cursor to the beginning of the line and opens insert mode
  - ''Shift + a'' puts your cursor to the end of the line and opens insert mode
  - up and down arrows move you up and down each line but to move between lines click ''g'' then up or down arrow
  - exit
    * '':q'' -> quits vim
    * '':wq'' -> saves what you wrote and quits vim 
    * '':q!'' -> does not save what you wrote and quits vim
