Description

Vim is a ubiquitous text editor that can be used for all programming languages. It has an extensive plugin system and integrates with many tools. Vim offers an extensible and customizable development environment for programmers, making it one of the most popular text editors in the world. Mastering Vim begins with explaining how the Vim editor will help you build applications efficiently. With the fundamentals of Vim, you will be taken through the Vim philosophy. As you make your way through the chapters, you will learn about advanced movement, text operations, and how Vim can be used as a Python (or any other language for that matter) IDE. The book will then cover essential tasks, such as refactoring, debugging, building, testing, and working with a version control system, as well as plugin configuration and management. In the concluding chapters, you will be introduced to additional mindset guidelines, learn to personalize your Vim experience, and go above and beyond with Vimscript. By the end of this book, you will be sufficiently confident to make Vim (or its fork, Neovim) your first choice when writing applications in Python and other programming languages.

I have been searching for a text editor and now I found it!

Zachary L. Stauber Jul 07, 2019

This isn't the most complete book, but honestly that's why it's so great: it's short-ish but packed with useful information. The author gives a good, thorough (not complete) run down on navigating in Vim, its most common functions (e.g., search and replace, clipboards and registers, including how to pull from the Windows/Linux/MacOS X clipboard, Vim built-in file manager, using shell commands and terminal windows without leaving Vim, etc.), customizing your .vimrc, and using and even writing plugins with vimscript. I'm an amateur programmer who's been using Vim since he was forced to use the Vi Editor in a freshman ForTran class in 1993, and it was the only universal editor on every *nix system I've ever had to use, so I wanted to learn more. I've started and quickly dropped a number of Vim books. This was the only one I finished, and so if you want to fall in love with Vim, but didn't know how to start, this is your book.

Nicholas Sardo Apr 03, 2022

I've thus far read a few chapters, skimmed a few others-- this is the book I wish I'd had years ago. I resisted learning Vim for a long time. Finally, years ago I decided to dabble with it. I learned enough to be dangerous, and with just that level of knowledge, it increased my productivity by an order of magnitude. Everything I read after that was dry, or didn't tell me what I wanted to know in an easily findable way. Once you learn the basics, believe me, even if you move to a VSCode, Jetbrains, Sublime, or other editor-- the first thing you'll do is find a plugin to access Vim keyboarding.This book takes you from the start of installing Vim, to learning essential commands, to dealing with plugins, etc., In a very accessible way. Mr. Osipov clearly knows what he's doing, and more importantly, is able to pass on that knowledge in an understandable way. Virtually all Packt books I've purchased are weak in the editing part of things, it's just something I've come to accept. Ultimately, for me, it's the knowledge I'm paying for.If you want to learn Vim.. and, you really, really should: This. Is. Your. Book.

Livre bien écrit, couvrant une bonne partie (et de façon très large) de ce qui peut se aire.Les concepts sont clairement exposés et sans oublier vimscript.
