I don't know why but it makes me happy that vim is getting so much attention from not-so-experienced developers.

Great job OP!

I like how you're not focusing on creating a complete list of commands but instead including only the ones you use and expanding it as you learn more.

Aside: I find it fascinating how you can often deduce how long someone has been using vim based on how they accomplish certain tasks. It made me smile seeing OP use ggVG - I can think of two reasons why someone would do that: to delete everything ggVGd or to yank everything ggVGy. We (probably) all did that at one point.

And at some point you ask yourself what actually are ex commands? - and that's when you learn about :%d and :%y.
