Vim is one of the text editors that's installed on many Unix-based systems. It is mode-based, which seems unusual at first. It has two primary modes: command mode and insert mode. Command mode is used for editing text, which insert mode is used for writing text. We are used to modeless editors where you can do both at any time.
The first thing you should do is try out a game called VIM Adventures. This introduces basic Vim commands, and especially teaches you to use the h, j, k, and l keys for navigating in Vim. Keep playing until you finish Level 1 before moving on to the next tutorial. You can complete the game later if you want.
