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. 

Use the g flag with the :substitute command (:s) to perform a global replace in replace mode. For example, :%s/old/new/g replaces all occurrences of "old" with "new" in the entire file.

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
