Mastering vim: Edit as Fast as You Think

If you've worked through "vimtutor" but still feel slow in vim, we want to help! In this workshop you will learn and practice with a treasure trove of tips to help you edit faster. We will cover: how to get the most out of every mode, working with multiple files, windows and tabs, getting around files faster, working with registers and macros, and how to supercharge finding and substitution commands. At the end you should have a handful of favorite tricks to start using and a reference to continue developing your vim skills.
