你应该从vim (Vi IMproved)开始，尤其是它的GUI - gVim。GUI有菜单，在Windows上您可以使用复制、剪切和粘贴快捷方式，因此您可以立即替换记事本。由于菜单显示了快捷方式(vim命令)，您可以学到很多东西。

从一开始就应该做的另一件事是根据需要配置vi。例如，可以将vim转换为Python IDE。通过这样做，您将没有理由使用其他编辑器，因为vi将为您提供所需的一切。

gVIM有一个非常好的教程(链接在开始菜单组中)。

我发现通过这种方式学习有助于克服最初的学习困难;然后把我的Visual Studio切换到ViEMU帮助我磨练了我的VI技能。

此外，http://vimcasts.org/上的截屏也很棒!

您要求获得一些好的技巧来帮助您度过vi文本编辑器的学习曲线。以前的许多答案建议您不要使用其他编辑器。我认为这是一个很好的建议。从更图形化的编辑器切换到vi需要改变心态。它需要从命令的角度思考，而不是从视觉变化的角度。

I used nothing but vi for many years and believe the only way you can be productive is to memorize the commands you regularly use. The way I did this was to make a short list of the most common keyboard commands. I grouped and color-coded these commands by function, i.e. Moving the Cursor, Editing, Searching, etc. I was careful to only include the most commonly used commands I did not know. The idea is to create a quick reference that is also an aid in memorization – not to replace the available help screens. Then I printed this list and taped it to the wall behind my monitor so I could see it easily. (The graphical cheat sheets you mentioned might work better for some, but are probably a better reference source than a memorization tool.)

Here's the key. As I became comfortable with one of the commands, I drew a line through it with a pencil. I could still see it if I needed it, but it was symbolic to me that I had mastered that command. That gave me confidence and motivation as I could see regular progress. Once I had most of them crossed off, I removed them and added some of the more rarely used commands. I continued this process until I was satisfied with my command of vi. I knew I had reached that point when I realized I had not crossed off any commands or even looked at the list in a long time.

几年前，我需要在一个UNIX平台上工作，其中vi是唯一可用的编辑器。我买了一本关于vi的袖珍参考书，但几乎没用过。最后，我像第一次使用vi一样做了清单，并把它们贴在墙上。到第一周结束时，我感到非常舒服，尽管我已经有五年没有使用vi了。

我从O'Reilly的著作《Learning the vi editor》中学习vi。

将系统上的每个终端编辑器符号链接到vim，并将系统上的每个图形化编辑器符号链接到一个脚本，该脚本将打开一个运行vim的新终端窗口。

删除所有其他文本编辑器应用程序。

那你就得学会。
