2. The chapters only cover basic features so the "mastering" claim is extremely overblown.
3. The meanings of j and k are inverted right from the sample exercise. This doesn't inspire much confidence.
If you _really_ want to learn Vim, forget all about that $25 nonsense and do it properly with :help user-manual.
However, If I can just move the cursor around in the exercise on the homepage, even though it specifies that you'd have to 'j', and 'k', what is the point?
The value of vim, especially for navigation, is not requiring the mouse for navigating around a document.
Disabling mouse selection in the editor might be too restrictive, because I want learners to find what works for them. As it is, I can only expect the learner to practice with good faith along with the lessons.
However I could also add an option to turn on a more restrictive practicing environment (only limit to certain commands, no mouse usage, etc.)
Let me know any other improvements I can make!
Exercise on the homepage is v well presented.
