We learn our whole life
I'm going to start with my beloved Vim.
Bram Molenaar has setup Vim in such a way, that you may use, only use what you need, learn by accessing and processing the necessary commands in the Local help file & work in that manner for even years.

Every time you need to learn something else in Vim, you just go in that same local help file.
Vim help was set up in such a beautiful way, you can learn as you go...
It's quite clear that there will be a lot of TIL when using Vim

Complex systems like the Fediverse are also designed in that way you learn just what you need and then when you stumble upon something, you go on help
It's a beautiful thing when help and program are tuned towards each other

@rl_dane @amin @sotolf

Thank you for this wonderful tip

So it's

:match Conceal /^.*$/
:set conceallevel=3

:highlight Conceal NONE

When you finish, just do

:match

'vim'

without any file name is all you need to type in your Bash to see the welcome screen of vim.
Bram Molenaar who created vim on the Commodore Amiga, even tells how you can support Children in Uganda, if you bother to read the help file in its initial headers. The information was updated, for as far as I know, until his departure of life.

I'm currently on mobile otherwise I would have put up in a screenshot

Just like the powerful program Vim by Bram Molenaar, initially written for my Amiga OS platform

Regardless of with platform you go to, Vim always has its local help.

Ch03. Searching Files in Vim

The basics are important. I can tell you that a lot of goodies in Vim basic mode are still not known to me, because I (did not) need them. Since I want to know them now, I use these docs AND the build-in excellent :help πŸ†˜

I love reading about VIM so I can use it to the fullest in my space of needs.

We all need to learn a LOT from Vim to use it to our full potential.

On my POSIX machines I use 'vim.athena' go read about it to learn more.

This source is a great place to learnabout vim, apart from the FANTASTIC local docs vim comes with, as it was written by the Awsome programmer

VimTricks
Vim allows you to use any regex delimiter in your pattern substitution. No need to use / at all, try # instead:

:s#/usr/local/bin#/usr/sbin#g

This avoids escaping slashes.
