Fair enough. I basically gave you a large chunk of vim so it will feel super overwhelming. The trick is to do one command or combo at a time. For example, I started with dd. Then I added yanking. Then I added visual mode. Then I added "o" (which I think I forgot to mention: o creates a newline under the current one and puts you in insert mode. Capital O does the same but above the current line). The real trick is going little by little. And to be honest, there are some commands I still rarely use or forget to mention. I've never used f instead of t. And in terms of forgetting to mention, there's the x command which deletes the single character under the cursor rn.

Also, I'm sure someone will find this list helpful, so on top of this, I'll also add this video (and hope that Piped bot will appear): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSlrxE21l_k

It contains some things I haven't mentioned.

As for learning all this, I'm repeating myself for the third time. Do it little by little. And when a command is already a thing you do almost without thinking about it, you're ready to add more.

I'm mentally checking out

Why? dw is delete word, c5b change 5 words backwards, and those are the most complicated commands you'll ever get to use, unless you start adding cuatom keybinds.

But I digress. If you don't want to learn it, it's fine.
