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。

在现代vi (vim?)中，我发现真正令人困惑的一件事是输入模式允许命令模式的一些功能，但不是所有功能。当输入模式完全简化为“只覆盖，不可能移动光标”时，我感觉舒服多了，就像老Solaris vi所拥有的那样。真正的vi需要您大部分时间保持在命令模式。

话虽如此，现在已经没有必要学习vi了——emacs同样无处不在。：）

强迫自己这样做的最简单方法可能就是从机器中删除所有其他编辑器。远离诱惑:)

为什么不让我用我自己的低摩擦方式来强迫自己呢?: -)

我所做的很简单:我尝试让我的git使用vim提交消息(当您没有在命令行指定消息时，默认编辑器)。

当然，提交消息太短了，几乎没有什么帮助。但是当使用git commit -amend重新编辑消息时，它会更有帮助。

删除所有其他文本编辑器应用程序。

那你就得学会。

你可以得到一个原始的快乐黑客键盘(没有方向键)，每次开始编辑时把你的(无线)鼠标放在你够不到的地方。
