It’s been a month and a half since I’ve completed the Vim for VSCode course. Since then, I’ve been using the Vim extension every time I code. Even though I finished the exercises, I keep going back to them much like a cheatsheet.

Ever since I switched to Visual Studio Code I missed the speed of editing with Vim, but I also felt some FUD about installing an extension. This course was exactly what I needed — through a series of concise and fun exercises I refreshed my memory of Vim, learned how to use the extension, and now I'm enjoying best of both worlds.

Video courses and guide books have an 86% dropout rate. Here's why.

Most learning services are passive. They’re not engaging. They’re boring.

Getting over a learning curve is always hard work, but does it need to be a battle?

Absolutely not.

Try an active approach.

You deserve to take part in your own learning. Don’t stand on the sidelines. Be in the starting lineup.

Vim for VSCode lets you do just that.

Here are our three science-backed learning techniques:

1. Mnemonics

A memory technique that helps you retain and recall information

As you learn different tools and commands, you’ll associate them with words or phrases.

Learning should never be boring.

2. Deliberate Practice

Consistent and intentional practice. Gradually increasing the difficulty to get closer to mastery.

Combining advanced commands and tools will become easy and natural as you practice and master your editing skills.

3. Active Recall

Constantly testing your memory

Remembering and understanding new things becomes easier as you regularly try to recall them. Each lesson will have you do just that. You will also reflect and explain what you’ve learned.

When you teach something, you get to learn it twice.

Spend more time coding and less time learning.

Armed with this active learning approach, you’ll be able to hone your code editing skills as quickly as you want.

Be efficient. Be in control of your learning. Become a master of your editor and accomplish more with less typing.

Joe Previte

My name is Joe (@jsjoeio). I'm an engineer and an egghead instructor. I've been creating online coding resources for the past 3 years, and teaching for the last 8 years. About a year ago, I switched from using the Sublime keybindings to Vim inside VSCode and haven't looked back since.

I made the Vim for VSCode course because I wanted halve the amount of time it takes to acquire Vim superpowers for others.

I love teaching and getting others excited to learn. My favorite topic is fast learning, or finding ways to learn things quickly
