Lesson 2 · First steps

Moving with h j k l

Hands stay home

Vim moves the cursor from the home row. h goes left, l goes right, j goes down and k goes up.

A memory trick

j has a hook that points down. h is on the left and l is on the right. That leaves k for up.

Collect the gems

Green gems mark where you need to go. Land on every gem to clear the board. Walls are solid.

Challenge 1 of 40/16
