Thank you!!! :D

In my mind I was thinking...

How can I entice people to get excited about learning Vim (with VSCode) without overwhelming them... And from there I though Hmm... I could use a simile and make Normal mode sound like a special mode where you can use fighting-game-like combos (special moves xD) to edit text. I don't know if that came through as I had planned it in my head cuz I just recorded everything in one go :D

I did record 5 minutes more where I go through the idea of motions and operators, etc. But then while I was editing I realized that perhaps it was too much information for an intro video. There's more detailed videos afterwards where you get into the nitty gritty step by step. :)

Thank you!

Please lay it all out there. I love feedback. That's how you improve. Even nitpicky one. It just pushes you to keep a higher standard 😁👍

It did! It pushed me to improve the original video with some minor tweaks and I think it has become the better for it :D Thank you!

Thank you! I get ya! One of the reasons I prefer Vim over Visual Studio Code in general is that Vim is super fast compared to VSCode.

OniVim looks awesoooome :D
