\begin{frame}{Introduction}
|
|
By the end of this presentation, I intend for you to have gained an understanding of:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item What Vim is.
|
|
\item The benefits of Vim.
|
|
\item The drawbacks of Vim.
|
|
\item Why I prefer Vim for all my text-editing work.
|
|
\item Whether or not Vim might be the right text editor for you.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
\end{frame}
|
|
|
|
\begin{frame}{What is Vim?}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \textbf{Vim} is terminal-based, modal text editor released in 1991, designed to be minimal \& fast to
|
|
use.
|
|
\item It has a number of fast, mnemonic keybindings that make typical text-editing tasks much faster.
|
|
\item A \textbf{terminal-based} text editor is a text-only editor that is ran from the command line or
|
|
terminal.
|
|
\item A \textbf{modal} text editor is one in which there are a number of different \textbf{modes} that the
|
|
editor can be in at any one time.
|
|
\end{itemize}

\begin{frame}{What is a Terminal?}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item A \textbf{terminal} is a text-based interface for a computer, originating from when computers did not
|
|
have any graphics.
|
|
\item It is typically interacted with via a \textbf{command line}, where text commands are written to start
|
|
programs.
|
|
\item To start Vim from the command line, simply type \mintinline{bash}{vim file_name.txt}
|
|
\end{itemize}
|

|
\begin{frame}{What are the Vim Modes?}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \textbf{Normal mode} (\texttt{ESC}) is for the navigation \& manipulation of the text in the file
|
|
being edited, via the shortcut keybindings.
|
|
It is the default mode of the program.
|
|
\item \textbf{Insert mode} (\texttt{i}) is for inserting new text. This mode is similar to the
|
|
default to the default behaviour of a more traditional text editor such as Notepad: text can be typed
|
|
or removed with the backspace key, and navigation or selection can be done with the mouse or arrow
|
|
keys.
|
|
\item \textbf{Visual mode} (\texttt{v}) is for the selection of text blocks for manipulation, with the
|
|
selected text being highlighted, similar to selecting text with the mouse in other text editors.
|
|
Visual mode has two sub-modes: \textbf{visual block} (\texttt{CTRL+v}) \& \textbf{visual line}
|
|
(\texttt{V}), in which text can be selected either vertically by columns or horizontally by line.
|
|
\end{itemize}

|
|
|
|
\begin{frame}{What are the Vim Keybindings?}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Too many to list here!
|
|
\item Navigation in normal mode can be done with the \texttt{hjkl} (direction) keys, which correspond to
|
|
the left, down, up, \& right arrow keys respectively, allowing quick navigation without removing your
|
|
fingers from the home row.
|
