Hey Hacker News community,

I'm excited to share something I've been working on - Vimtutor Sequel!

After going through the original vimtutor, I felt there was a need for an extended tutorial for some more advanced topics not covered in the original tutor program.

What's Vimtutor Sequel?

Vimtutor Sequel picks up where the original vimtutor left off. It’s designed for those who already know the basics and are ready to dive into more advanced Vim features and commands.

Key Features:

- Advanced Topics: Dive into splits, spellcheck, advanced search and replace, macros, Vim scripting, plugins, sessions, and registers. - Step-by-Step Tutorials: Hands-on lessons that encourage you to practice commands as you learn. - Custom Vim Configuration: Comes with a custom vimrc to ensure a consistent learning experience and mimic the original vimtutor.

How to Install:

For Mac: To get started, install Vimtutor Sequel using Homebrew:

```bash brew tap micahkepe/vimtutor-sequel brew install vimtutor-sequel ```

Then you can run with: ```bash vimtutor-sequel ```

For Windows/Linux:

1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/micahkepe/vimtutor-sequel.git ``` 2. Navigate to the repository: ```bash cd vimtutor-sequel ```

3. Make a Copy of the Tutorial: ```bash cp vimtutor-sequel.txt vimtutor-sequel-copy.txt ```

4. Run Vim with the Custom Configuration: ```bash vim -u vimtutor-sequel.vimrc vimtutor-sequel-copy.txt ```

Looking for Feedback!

I'd love to hear what you think! Whether you spot any bugs, have suggestions for new lessons, or just want to share your thoughts, your feedback is really appreciated. Feel free to contribute or open issues on the GitHub repo.

Awesome! When someone on HN years ago pointed me to vimtutor to oearn vim it was like magic!

After many false starts, I now was able to use vim!

I’ve never learned more than that as I am a casual user. Because of that tutorial I am happy to say that I can be a user at all.

I’m stoked for a follow up :D

Did you start the submission title with: "Show HN:"?

No sorry I didn't this is actually my first post on here so still learning the platform.
I'm looking forward to going through this... thank you so much!
As a long time vim user, respect.
