FAQ
Am I allowed to ask questions during the course?
Yes. You can ask any questions.
I remember when I just started learning Vim and I felt extremely shy to ask anything on the internet thinking that maybe my questions are so silly and everyone will laugh at my stupid question! ?
Everyone is a beginner at some point. So feel free to ask any question. There is no such thing as a stupid question!

But I am a Vim user...
No problem!
For Neovim
config directory ~/.config/nvim
distributed runtime /usr/local/neovim//share/nvim/runtime
For Vim
config directory ~/.vim
distributed runtime /usr/share/vim/vim
For the exact location of the runtime files use the following command from your vim/neovim.
echo $VIMRUNTIME

Vimscript or Lua?
We do not write code in this course.
Just very simple vim commands.
