Same - all the info here is awesome, and hard to KEEP while I'm trying to learn... but very much appreciated!

I think this is what happens to me - I retain just enough to do the things I do EVERYDAY, while I know theres a lot more POWERFUL stuff that would help me if I knew it. ;P

The one biggest thing that helped me, or... IS helping me... is that there are three 'things';
operator, NUMBER, command? ---or something like this.. that is the same across all Vim options. :P I know, I'm off by a bit.. but I'm gonna get there - I guess thats all that matters.

Again; most important thing - nano will never be on my systems again!!! w00t w00t!
