# Vim - Poem The following is a beautiful poem about [[Vim]] written by my sister, [[@Nancy Lee|Nancy]] ``` Dear Vim I thought I knew about you fairly well, Until I saw another side of you — the Normal you. That part, I am so slow to pick up, You operate under a totally different set of keys, No need to hassle with the keys in the top or bottom right corners. Only the quick stretching of your left pinkie will do. I am slowly learning to communicate with you. It will take some time, but bear with me. I'm getting there, jumping. ^ to the head, $ to the tail ( to traverse across the lines — I mean the line with a period. Little o, to start a new line below, Big O, to start a new line above, Press i with your right hand to have the cursor fall to the left, Press a with your left hand to add to the right. u, if u don't like what u've just done, Rescue it (ctrl + r) if you didn't mean it. dd, to delete the line and p it to paste it somewhere. If you have to repeat the same line, just yyp. You can keep repeating with dot dot dot ... If you want to swap the line with the one below, ddp. Until I can talk to Normal you as speedily as you can, There will always be some miscommunication between us. But I know you are far greater than I think you are, So don't hesitate to tell me more about your hidden keys. ```
