I was actually thinking just yesterday, "I wish there was some Sublime tutorial that just repetitively worked you through keystrokes to learn the muscle memory. That's been the biggest impediment to moving off of Textmate."

And then this. Thank you Hacker News AI for predicting exactly what I need to read today.

Now...is there something like this for Ubuntu?

Noo why leave Textmate? We remaining Textmate users have to stay strong!

Switched to Ubuntu. :-)

Textmate is great. That being said, I would LOVE to use the same editor on all of my computers/OSes. In order to do so, I need one editor to support Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Yeah if you use different OSes frequently it makes sense to want to just use one. Or at least have the same key bindings.

As in a similar tutorial for Ubuntu? If that's what you're asking, then not really. Pretty difficult to learn an OS. Though you might be able to find some similar stuff for bash or vim if you look hard enough.

Vim Tutor comes with vim (and therefore most unix systems)!

Just type `vimtutor` in a terminal.

Mainly thinking for shortcut keys for the desktop.

> Pretty difficult to learn an OS.

Ubuntu is not what I would call "pretty difficult to learn." Using it as your primary OS for 1-4 days is pretty much enough.

My point is that you can't really "learn" an OS. Linux distros are a combination of hundreds or thousands of tools. Yeah, you could get the hang of using Ubuntu in under a day, but you can't just "learn" all the stuff it can do.
