However, the average user needs something more than `vimtutor` and less than the `help` manual. This guide attempts to bridge that gap by highlighting only the key features to learn the most useful parts of Vim in the least time possible.\n\nThis guide is written for both beginner and advanced Vimmers. It starts out with broad and simple concepts and ends with specific and advanced concepts. If you're an advanced user already, I would encourage you to read this guide from start to finish anyway, because you will learn something new!\n\n## I Want More Vim Tips!\n\nFollow [@learnvim](https://twitter.com/learnvim) for updates, Vim tips, etc.\n\n## Support This Project\n\nThis guide is and will always be free.\n\nIf you want to financially support this project, you can either [purchase this guide on Leanpub](https://leanpub.com/learnvim) or [buy me a coffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/iggredible)!\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://leanpub.com/learnvim\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"images/learn-vim-cover.png\" width=\"100\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.buymeacoffee.com/iggredible\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://cdn.buymeacoffee.com/buttons/v2/default-green.png\" alt=\"Buy Me A Coffee\" style=\"height: 60px !important;width: 217px !important;\" \u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\n## Table Of Contents\n\n### Prologue\n\n- [Ch 0     - Read This First](./ch00_read_this_first.md)\n\n### Part 1: Learn Vim the Smart Way\n\n- [Ch 1     - Starting Vim](./ch01_starting_vim.md)\n- [Ch 2     - Buffers, Windows, and Tabs](./ch02_buffers_windows_tabs.md)\n- [Ch 3     - Opening and Searching Files](./ch03_searching_files.md)\n- [Ch 4     - Vim Grammar](./ch04_vim_grammar.md)\n- [Ch 5     - Moving in a File](./ch05_moving_in_file.md)\n- [Ch 6     - Insert Mode](./ch06_insert_mode.md)\n- [Ch 7     - The Dot command](./ch07_the_dot_command.md)\n- [Ch 8     - Registers](./ch08_registers.md)\n- [Ch 9     - Macros](./ch09_macros.md)\n- [Ch 10    - Undo](./ch10_undo.md)\n- [Ch 11    - Visual Mode](./ch11_visual_mode.md)\n- [Ch 12    - Search and Substitute](./ch12_search_and_substitute.md)\n- [Ch 13    - The Global Command](./ch13_the_global_command.md)\n- [Ch 14    - External Commands](./ch14_external_commands.md)\n- [Ch 15    - Command-line Mode](./ch15_command-line_mode.md)\n- [Ch 16    - Tags](./ch16_tags.md)\n- [Ch 17    - Fold](./ch17_fold.md)\n- [Ch 18    - Git](./ch18_git.md)\n- [Ch 19    - Compile](./ch19_compile.md)\n- [Ch 20    - Views, Sessions, and Viminfo](./ch20_views_sessions_viminfo.md)\n- [Ch 21    - Multiple File Operations](./ch21_multiple_file_operations.md)\n\n### Part 2: Customize Vim the Smart Way\n\n- [Ch 22 - Vimrc](./ch22_vimrc.md)\n- [Ch 23 - Vim Packages](./ch23_vim_packages.md)\n- [Ch 24 - Vim Runtime](./ch24_vim_runtime.md)\n\n### Part 3: Learn Vimscript the Smart Way\n\n- [Ch 25 - Vimscript Basic Data Types](./ch25_vimscript_basic_data_types.md)\n- [Ch 26 - Vimscript Conditionals And Loops](./ch26_vimscript_conditionals_and_loops.md)\n- [Ch 27 - Vimscript Variable Scopes](./ch27_vimscript_variable_scopes.md)\n- [Ch 28 - Vimscript Functions](./ch28_vimscript_functions.md)\n- [Ch 29 - Plugin Example: Writing a Titlecase Plugin](./ch29_plugin_example_writing-a-titlecase-plugin.md)\n\n## Translations\n- [Learn-Vim 中文翻译](https://wsdjeg.net/wiki/learn-vim/)(`zh-CN`)\n- [Learn-Vim Spanish](https://github.com/victorhck/learn-Vim-es)(`es`)\n\n## License \u0026 Copyright\nThe materials here are all © 2020-2021 Igor Irianto.\n\n\u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https://licensebuttons.net/l/by-nc-sa/4.0/88x31.png\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nThis work is licensed under a \u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/\"\u003eCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International\u003c/a\u003e.\n","funding_links":["https://www.buymeacoffee.com/iggredible)!","https://www.buymeacoffee.com/iggredible"],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Figgredible%2Flearn-vim","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Figgredible%2Flearn-vim","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Figgredible%2Flearn-vim/lists"}
