ANYTHING is more than you're obligated to give! Yet less than he deserves! Thanks so much for your donation and thanks Jay for creating this great content for free!
I love Debian 12 and I was just getting into learning some vim (former nano user here - I know... I know). The timing from Jay was perfect. Thank you, sir!
7:15 That should have been left, obviously. 10:36 I hoped that you would also explain how to insert the output of a command into the buffer. Thanks for this series and for going over buffers in vim.
Very clear and concise explanations, easy to follow and understand. This made learning VIM a lot more easier. Question do you have a cheatsheet as well?
Wow, this is awesome! I've watched episode one and now two. Episode two blew me away, seriously looking forward to watching episode three and beyond after I post this comment. Thank you for making these! 🙂
I still remember pretty vivdly my first week or so learning Vim after switching from VS Code. It felt like magic, and I was instantly addicted. Have fun buddy..
Why would you want to enter Linux commands from within vim? Well, you might want to invoke "fmt" to reformat paragraphs when composing an e-mail. You might want to invoke "sort" to put a list of entries in alphabetical order. You might want to invoke "!!tr a-z A-Z" to capitalize all letters on a line. You might want to invoke "lpr %" to print the file you are editing (the % symbol references the current file). You might want to pass a paragraph to an awk script that finds dollar amounts on each line and sums them (useful for balancing your checkbook). Being able to enter Linux commands in vim is incredibly useful, and if there are some that you use frequently, you can define a macro in your .vimrc file to invoke them with one keystroke (or a few keystrokes).
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing. Is there a way to have the results of commands that you run get dumped into the current vim buffer? That could be super useful, too.
That's a good point, I never thought to do that. You could try visual select mode to copy the output, but I'm not sure that would work - I might try that when I get a chance. I agree, that would be useful!
@plrpilot Yes, if I've understood you correctly. To give a simple example, in "command" mode in vim, if you type !$date and hit "Enter," the current line will be replaced by the output of the Linux /usr/bin/date command. (So, if you do this, you'll want to do it on a blank line so that you don't overwrite whatever is on the current line.)
I know is not much, but you helped me A LOT!!

I just preliked this video in the 0:10 second based on Jay's tutorial quality from before.
Explaining complex things in an easy to understand way is your gift, Jay. Once again - thank you for producing these videos!
Gifted teacher, I hope he makes Mathematics tutorials 😂
Thanks for the tutorial. It is a good refresher. BTW, insert mode is mentioned at timestamp 6:06. I think it should be normal mode.
It would be cool if you inserted hotkey images at the bottom of the screen. Visually, it helps to remember faster. Good job!! THX

tbh, vim is the funnest thing that I have ever discovered during my journey of studying to code

The left appears as right to us because we're looking at his screen through the camera.
a very practical video .... thanks for this work!

Great guide!
Crazy how you reached this stage of details about the editor and didn't mention anything yet about making a new file with a new name!!!

@@LearnLinuxTV Yes you could, you can pipe the output to vim inside your command.
When I first started Unix & vi, you the arrow keys wouldn't work. You had no choice but use h,j,k,l keys.
here goes epi 2 and i havednt learn a new thing
