Get better with Vim one tip at a time

Add the function below to your .vimrc config file. 

function! Vtip()
  echomsg system('curl -s -m 3 https://vtip.43z.one')
endfunction


In vim type :call Vtip() and hit <Enter> to view a random tip like. 

Enter replace mode by pressing the R key while in normal mode. This allows you to overwrite existing text directly.

Use Vim's built-in documentation with :help anything if something is unclear.

To make vim tips quickly accessible, setup a key mapping in your .vimrc with 
noremap ,v :call Vtip()<CR>
Now just pressing ,v will show a tip.

To look up a tip again after you dismissed it use :messages
