| NAME |
| vimtutor - the Vim tutor |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| vimtutor [-g] [language] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor. It copies the tutor file first, so that |
| it can be modified without changing the original file. |
| |
| The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn their first Vim |
| commands. |
| |
| The optional argument -g starts vimtutor with gvim rather than vim, if |
| the GUI version of vim is available, or falls back to Vim if gvim is |
| not found. |
| |
| The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language, |
| like "it" or "es". If the [language] argument is missing, the language |
| of the current locale will be used. If a tutor in this language is |
| available, it will be used. Otherwise the English version will be |
| used. |
| |
| Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode. |
| |
