This is really cool, and I had no idea about Vim using a tree instead of a stack for undos. I'll check out Gundo.

Do you have any other similar recs that would help for learning?

Drew Neil’s vimcasts.org is a mine of useful tips.

His book Practical Vim[1] is particularly good because it teaches you the “vim way” without plugins.

Not that there’s anything wrong with plugins, I use a load of them, but there’s loads you can do without them.

vim generally doesn't need any of those fuzzy file finders that most people use. If you add

  set path+=**

to your vimrc, and open vim from the top level directory for your project :find <unique_filename_part> will just work

Setting up ctags will give vim some IntelliSense-like functionality that people tend to miss from their IDEs. More info here: https://andrewra.dev/2011/06/08/vim-and-ctags/

Be wary of this, it can end up being quite slow. Here is an excellent write up detailing the usage of the path setting.
