Agreed, this is the strangest way to learn an editor. The whole point of pressing a command is to see what it actually does. Connecting that action to your muscle movements is what you want.

Agreed. Perhaps a block of text/code with lines highlighted along with instructions on how/what to change them? That would give the right visual feedback and should be totally doable.

Yeah, it would be awesome to see prompts like:

> Duplicate this line

or

> Move the cursor to the beginning of this line|

Agreed. Same problem here. Perhaps a visual display of what needs to be done would be a lot more useful. I have no clue of how this could be done though. At the same time if you want to build muscle memory, just use the damn editor and you get it eventually :)

One thing I learned from this is that I don't know my directions. I was consistently hitting h for right and l for left.

even though the project looks good, this is spot on.
