vtip

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 :earlier  to revert the buffer to a previous state.  can be in various formats like 2m (2 minutes ago) or 2h30m (2 hours 30 minutes ago).

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
