I had to use vi for work (only editor installed on the servers), and it snowballed and now I can barely type in anything that doesn’t have vim bindings.
The first few days were pretty rough, but I learned the absolute minimal basics, and then just organically learned features as I needed them/whenever I felt like what I was doing was tedious, and there had to be a better way. It’s been about 10 years, and I’m still learning!
One small suggestion, check YouTube for videos of people showing off vim features, e.g. youtu.be/5r6yzFEXajQ. You won’t remember everything from one watch, but it’ll help you see what is possible/how powerful vim is, which can guide your “this is so painful how do I make this better” searches down the line.
