I would learn it on the bus, and at the time I didn't have a data plan, so I could only access things I had already downloaded. The `:help` documentation is very thorough.
With `bash`, you can show which mode you're in by putting this in your `~/.inputrc`:
show-mode-in-prompt on
[foo@bar ~]$ # before turning it on
@[foo@bar ~]$ # after
@[foo@bar ~]$ set -o vi
(ins)[foo@bar ~]$ # and after I press esc:
(cmd)[foo@bar ~]$
What I do in these situations (assuming the job is still in the foreground, and can be interrupted), is suspend the task with ctrl+z and resume with `fg`, chaining it with some other command:
fg; notify-send "done"
git commit --fixup=':/message regexp'
If I were to apply this patch, this commit will…
- Simplify FooWidget
- Add optional table support
- Remove trailing whitespace
- Update fizzbuzz to 1.2.0
- Merge branch 'feature/ABC-123-foobar'
- Revert "Add foo to bar"

It has the option to enable cursive italics, which is disabled by default. Been using it for over a year. No complaints.
It's not quite a drop-in replacement, but it's pretty close. They have a free plan for 1,000 calls/day.
It's a browser extension, and it's been very pleasant to use. I came across it on a previous Show HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22545878
Now if only it worked on mobile…
Sweet! I've been wanting this feature for a while.

Somewhat unrelated: I discovered some time ago that the column command (from util-linux) can print trees of hierarchical data (up to 2 levels deep).
From the man page:
$ echo -e '1 0 A\n2 1 AA\n3 1 AB\n4 2 AAA\n5 2 AAB' | column --tree-id 1 --tree-parent 2 --tree 3
1 0 A
2 1 |-AA
4 2 | |-AAA
5 2 | `-AAB
3 1 `-AB
It should actually say VISUAL BLOCK mode. This is where you use `CTRL-v` to select a block of text. You can read more in `:help blockwise-visual`.
Also see the 'nrformats' option: `:help 'nrformats'`. You can include alphabetic characters to do the same thing with A-Z, for example.
This will "REuse REcorded REsolutions" of conflicted merges.
Once enabled, it will record how a merge conflict was resolved, and replay it back the next time it encounters it. Saves a lot of time in cases where you already solved the merge once before.
I found the Flexbox Zombies course to be helpful for that: https://flexboxzombies.com
It's free right now too.

This makes git diff highlight reindented or moved lines differently.
I use it to get diffs similar to when you pass -w, but with a bit more context.
It takes a bit of experimenting to keep it from looking like a fruit salad, but sometimes you get interesting results.

git range-diff
foo.bar(..).baz(..).match {
Variant1 => { ... }
Variant2(quux) => { ... }
}

puts "Hello world!"
