Field notes
The game separates Vim practice into motion targeting, prompted edits, and raw typing over code snippets. Its scoring tracks targets hit, keystrokes used, WPM, accuracy, and best keys-per-target, while the hint engine surfaces a shortest route to the current target. Players can choose 15-, 30-, or 60-second rounds and are told they can paste Vimscript or Lua mappings into a built-in vimrc panel.
