      From: backuselenor@gmail.com               Doron Linder , 2012 - 2023. All rights reserved.What is VIM Adventures?VIM       Adventures is an online game based on VIM's keyboard shortcuts (commands,       motions and operators). It's the "Zelda meets text editing" game. It's a       puzzle game for practicing and        memorizing VIM commands (good old VI is also covered, of course). It's an easy       way to learn VIM without a steep learning curve.You play a blinking cursor       appearing one day in a semi text based world of Textland inhabited by little       people but ruled by        bugs. You soon discover that your arrival was foretold by an old prophecy and       that you're expected to restore order to the world (in case you didn't make it       to level 2 yet...).How to playYou start the game with only the ability to move       up, down, left,        and right. As you progress, you talk to people and collect items and keyboard       buttons. Each keyboard button adds to the set of commands you can give the       cursor, until you master VIM.You can also perform operations such as login,       load and save game and        others using the in-game menu at the bottom of the screen. For a complete list       of commands you can type in the command line mode, please type ':help :'       (without the quotes).These instructions are all you need to know. Hints       scattered throughout the game        help you and ease the learning process. You can't advance to the next level       until you master a skill!Getting helpThe little people of Textland have a lot       of helpful tips to share so make sure you talk with each and every one by       bumping into them.In        addition, every time you pick up a keyboard key, an explanation of what the       key does and how it should be used is displayed. This window can be closed       using ESC (as any other window in this game) and you can walk through the       example using the '+' and '-'        keys. You can get help on additional keys using the syntax ':help char' by       replacing char with the character or word you would like to get help on. You       can also type a topic such as 'registers' or 'text-objects' to get help on       that topic. See below for a        full list of possible arguments for the :help command.If you don't remember       which keys you collected so far, or need to refresh your memory a little, you       can click on the keyboard icon in the in-game menu, or type ':keyboard' to see       a keyboard with your        current available keys highlighted. Clicking or pressing on a key will show a       short description of its function.Stuck in the game and don't know how to       proceed? Can't find that key or complete a text? Check out the VIM Adventures       facebook page or send us        a question to Topics for :help commandThe following characters, commands and       topics can be used after the :help command:              h j k l : w W e E b B x X r d dd D 0 ^ $ f F t T ; , % z zt zz zb g gg G 1 2       3 4 5 6 7 8 9 count [count] * # n N p P " y yy Y registers :reg "" "- "_ "0 "1       "2 "3 "4 "5 "6 "7 "8 "9 "a "b "c ...
