So I wanted to update my 2week vim challenge;

First, I'm never installing nano again. :P So thats a plus, right??? :P

However, while I have the *VERY BASICS* down, I still haven't learned or retained how to really jump around the screen, use Vim's powerful features for deletion, replacing, jumping, etc... 

(Paulie rant coming up;) I delete a line w/ 'dd'. I put it back w/ 'p'... I go into Visual Mode 'v' to select several lines of text, 'dd' it and 'p' it back - but I know I'm using 1% of Vims featureset...

I need to complete VIMTUTOR again; I need to find a better styled cheatsheet; I need to try and retain and USE more of the vim keybinds... I'm using it in a very basic way still.

Thats OK tho, right??? I suppose I'll continue to learn - but need to remember to dive in and try to master a new 'thing' every couple days... 

At any rate, I'm a Vim user now. Thats not gonna change - week 2 was supposed to be trying neoVim/other Vim implementations... I think I'll install neoVim and try it - but I haven't switched my VSCode or other things over to Vim style just yet... I do like it - but I've a way to go.

Vim forever - my suggestion for other users? Just use Vim - don't ever use Nano b/c its easier - I would have been a lot further up the road if I'd of just started w/ Vim from the beginning.... it r0cks.
