  1. @pony My learning method was slightly stricter (I did choose to ban the arrow keys, simply because I knew I would never learn hjkl if I wasn't using it constantly from day one; but that's me), but the gist of it is the same- incrementally learn how to do it right, do it wrong in the meantime. Every couple weeks or so I learn or discover something vim can do that is immediately useful, and it replaces something I was doing wrong. Repetition is important for memorization (using Pentadactyl really helps with this part, btw), but only if you aren't trying to memorize a billion things all at once. The on-line help facility is great at helping you discover new things when you are reading to discover them.
