Oh, boy. Just read this book and be done with the Vim initiation rituals... http://www.amazon.com/Vim-Vi-Tips-Essential-ebook/dp/B004JF4... For the record, I use both Vim and TextMate.

Maybe I'm being out of line here, but I'd be impressed if HN could go a week without repeating what has been said 50 times previously about a text editor.
