One of the beautiful things about learning Vim is the fact that you don't need to know everything. You only need to understand a few critically important concepts that provide most of the value.
If you invest the time and energy necessary to learn these concepts, you'll easily be in the top 1% of the human population when it comes to productivity in coding/programming/text editing. Instead of trying to absorb all of the Vim knowledge- and there's really a lot out there -use this book to get what matters the most.
Mastering Vim Quickly is a great tour through the most important aspects and concepts of Vim. It starts beginner friendly and quickly advances to show more involved text editing techniques.Throughout the book I especially liked the focus on large scale operations.With numerous realistic examples it teaches how various simple commands can be combined in different ways to achieve powerful transformations across multiple files. And even if you already know all the topics covered in the book, it will refresh your knowledge and fuel your curiosity about the depths of Vim once again. - Christian Wellenbrock, the creator of the targets.vim plugin
