@eaplmx@twtxt.net @tkanos@twtxt.net when I decided to use vim I started with the barebone install and just forced myself to use it exclusively, the only things I checked out before starting where how to move, input text and save, then when I got stuck I searched for solutions with proper commands and, if unavailable, looked for the simplest and more lightweight plugins around.
After a while I became good enough to use it for my daily needs at home and work almost exclusively.
This entire process took me only 2 weeks.
My process to learn new tools is the same for everything else, pick the tool up, try doing the essential, and learn what you need as you go.
You’ll become productive faster and won’t get frustrated because you won’t need to wait until you know everything.
