Change it once. Repeat it with one key.

Four lines need a semicolon. In Vim that's one change and two keys per line after it: A ; Esc adds it, j moves down, . repeats the change.

Chapters 7 and 8 teach it, about an hour in. Press play.

It comes back The Daily 5 brings commands back just before you'd forget them, and practice drills go on as long as you like.

It ends in your editor The last track sets Vim up in the editor you already use: VS Code, IdeaVim, Zed or Neovim.

The engine is checked against real Neovim, so what you learn is what Vim does. Every command is in the Vim cheat sheet, and the Vim playground is a free buffer to try them in.
