How to learn to work with Vim?

Perhaps there is no other text editor you need to work with. study specifically. However, if you learn to work with Vim, then a person gets amazing advantages over other people. Vim is usually already installed on most Linux systems and basic skills working with it are simply necessary for most developers.

If the plug in installed successfully, you can start it with command :Tutor.

The passage took me several days in small sessions of about an hour a day. Passed on the phone in Termux, on the computer it should be even faster.
