# Vim Tutor Cheatsheat
Cheatsheet for [Vim Tutor](http://www2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/~plewis/teaching/unix/vimtutor).
Vim Tutor comes installed with most modern MacOS and Linux distributions. To run it, enter `vimtutor` in the terminal.
For Windows there should be an entry in the start menu folder titled "vim tutor" if you install Vim.
## Lesson 1
1. The cursor is moved using either the arrow keys or the `h j k l` keys.
- `h` : left
- `j` : down
- `k` : up
- `l` : right
2. To start Vim from the shell prompt type: `vim FILENAME `
3. To exit Vim, type:
- ` :q! ` to trash all changes
- ` :wq ` to save the changes
4. To delete the character at the cursor, type: `x`
5. To insert or append text, type:
- `i` type inserted text `` (insert before the cursor)
- `A` type appended text `` (append after the line)
Note: Pressing `` will place you in `NORMAL` mode or will cancel an unwanted and partially completed command.
