Hi there, always great to see people moving to vim and reporting some great benefits such as faster editing.

I believe you made a mistake when you said that the d command deletes the character you're at. I think this is the x command since the d command waits for a motion before deleting something.

Anyway thanks for sharing your journey with us.

No need haha! I too make silly mistakes, I'm glad you didn't take it personally. Great article again.

Actually it's great that you pointed it out. Otherwise, after reading this, someone (maybe my future-self) might have tried to delete a character, pressing d multiple times and ended up deleting their whole code. 😂

I can totally imagine that guy being me.
