Great article! The features you showed were some of the ones I've had my first "Oh, now I get why vim is so great"-moments and that really boost your productivity.

> Tip: Generally after you’ve inserted some text, you want to return to command mode so that you’re ready to enter your next command. I’d recommend pressing esc any time you’ve finished typing.

Totally agree with this. What really helped me with getting this into my muscle memory was remapping Capslock to ESC which seems to be what many (most?) vim users do.




Some of us even prefer mapping Capslock to both ESC and Control, as explained for example here (I'm not the author): https://www.dannyguo.com/blog/remap-caps-lock-to-escape-and-...


I'm the one who map escape to capslock. Since my capslock doesnt usefull at all !.


Wow. Thank you!
