Vim Commands Cheat Sheet

One of the first things I recommend doing in Linux is learning how to use Vim. Vim is a cross-platform basic text editor that is mainly used on "nix" systems.

To be honest, learning Vim is like learning a different language. I am from Windows and I am used to notepad, word, etc. Vim is nothing like any of these. When I first fired up Vim it took me 5 minutes just to figure out how to start typing in a new file. Once you begin to understand how the commands work, different modes, and Vim's powerful commands; you begin to understand why Vim is so well liked by the "hard-core" Linux users.
