Vim is a really popular text editor which, although a bit old in comparison to other alternatives, is still used quite a lot.  About two years ago, I wrote an article about Vim, which turned out to catch a lot of attention. Today, I am writing a short article about a quick reference for Vim.

A new Github repository has already some short guides on how to use Vim and benefit from it as much as possible. 

Guides range from History of Vim and how to Quit Vim to sites and book recommendations for learning more about it. 

It also has some links to other sites and also a list of books on where you can learn more about Vim. 

This is the list of recommended books:

  • Practical Vim: Edit Text at the Speed of Though1 by Drew Neil
  • Modern Vim by Drew Neil
  • Learning Vi and Vim Editors by Arnold Robbins, Elbert Hannah
  • The VimL Primer: Edit Like a Pro with Vim Plugins and Scripts by Benjamin Klein
  • Mastering Vim: Build a software development environment with Vim and Neovim2 by Ruslan Osipov
  • A Byte of Vim (Online Book)
