If you just want to learn general Vim editing skills, I'd suggest typing `vimtutor` into your shell and going through the lessons. Repeat daily until it's second nature. If you're wanting to know how to do the 3 specific things you mentioned, then: > a) Columnar mode selection Not entirely sure what you mean by this, but Vim has "blockwise visual mode", which may be what you're looking for. Enter it by pressing Ctrl-V. > b) ability to sort lines The :sort command does this. See `:help :sort` for details. > c) Word Wrap (at least nothing that jumped out) `:set wrap` and possibly `:set linebreak` as well. If you have more specific questions, then I or others on the list can probably give you more detailed information.
