Vim is an advanced CLI based text editor. Many key combinations used in Vim are easily associated with a memorable phrase. One effective way to use Vim is to associate phrases with Operators, Text Objects and Motions. Then compose a phrase for what you want to do. Start with an Operator followed by a Text Object or Motion. Prefix an Operator, Command or Motion with a number/count to extend it.
