Vim tips for beginners

• use touch typing
• use the US keyboard layout - mappings will make much more sense this way
• create snippets for latin etc keys if you need them in vim
• map caps lock to esc key and map alt keys to ctrl keys. in Ubuntu:

  dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options "['caps:escape','altwin:ctrl_alt_win']"

• don't remap any vim keys that you think you wouldn't use anyway
• only use leader key mapping for your own mappings
• use text-objects (buildin and provided by plugins)
• learn vim script - it's not that bad and it makes vim powerfull
