Pro Tips

Combine operators with motions: 'dw' deletes word, 'ci"' changes inside quotes.

Use '.' to repeat the last change - incredibly powerful for repetitive edits.

Use visual mode (v, V, Ctrl-v) for selecting text before applying operations.

Use 'u' to undo, but Vim's undo tree can be complex. Consider plugins for undo visualization.
