VIM for Victory
summary
Vim is presented as a lightweight, modal editor that saves minutes by turning common edits into single keystrokes: examples include viw / diw to change a word from the middle, 3DW to delete three words, Repeat with . to replay the last edit, and Ctrl‑V for column edits. It works reliably over SSH + screen/tmux for pair programming. Popular extensions mentioned: NERDTree, fuzzy finding, and rails.vim, plus using vi bindings in zsh and vsvim for Visual Studio.
