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.

Combine commands with motion commands to apply changes to specific text ranges. For example, d2w deletes the next two words, and c3j changes three lines downward.

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
