    grok_vi is a classic text explaining how to actually learn Vim by internalizing its modal editing philosophy rather than memorizing keybindings — the conceptual shift from editor as application to editor as language. The foundational mental model for anyone trying to become fluent in Vim.

    vimcolorschemes.com is a curated, searchable gallery of Vim color schemes ranked by GitHub stars — the standard reference for finding and previewing Vim themes before installing them.

  4. Helix: Post-Modern Terminal Editor

    Helix is a post-modern terminal text editor written in Rust — Kakoune-inspired multiple selections, built-in LSP and tree-sitter support, no plugin system needed. The editor that ships batteries included, unlike Neovim which requires substantial configuration to reach the same point.

  5. Surfingkeys: Vim Keybindings for the Browser

    Surfingkeys is a browser extension that adds Vim-style keyboard navigation to Chrome and Firefox — configurable with JavaScript and more extensible than Vimium. For keyboard-first developers who want to browse without reaching for the mouse.
