Notes on VIM

VIM is a welcome return to the keyboard and departure from the annoyances with slow mousing around.

While there are many nice plugins avilable to Vim and especally for NeoVIM I would recomend still getting used to it plain without plugins first so that you get used to the core commands and know what you really want out of a plugin. If you jump right into using plugins you will likely end up installing many plugins that you don't want or need.

VIM keybindings in other places

Once you get used to the basic VIM keybindings you'll be able to find them useful in a lot of places other then just VIM. Many editors have options to use VIM keybindings for example but also many other applications also have options to use them.

Chat AI software is a type of artificial intelligence that enables machines to communicate with humans in a natural, human-like manner. The goal of chat AI is to replicate human-like conversations and interactions, making it easier for users to communicate with computers and other devices.
