Vim = Super Productivity

While other editors make you reach for the mouse or perform a wrist-twisting triple keystrokes, Vim's modal user interface lets you access all common editing tasks with single letters. If you're a touch typist, Vim lets you work as fast as you can type. I'm writing this web page in Vim right now :-)

Vim isn't just fast -- it's powerful. Regular expression driven search and replace, highlighting by character, line or block, source code compilation and debugging, quickfind for variable, subroutine, and method declarations, subroutine folding and expanding, keystroke macros, and an underlying programming language make Vim powerful and configurable.

Who Should Read This Book?

You should read this book all of the following are true:

You're a touch typist.
You need an ultra-fast, ultra-powerful text editor to speed and ease your work.
You're not already a Vim expert.

Who Shouldn't Read This Book?

You should not read this book if you're already proficient at Vim. This book is a beginner level tutorial and reference.

You should not read this book if you're not a touch typist. Unless you can type at least 25 words per minute, Vim's keyboard-centric approach will not help you.

Last but not least, you should not read this book if you have no need to work faster :-).
