Basic Vim
Insert at Line Ends
Start inserting at the first non-blank character or line end.
I and A combine a line-boundary motion with entering Insert mode. They replace a multi-key journey with one intent-revealing command.
Use I, A, and Esc in the editor beside this lesson. The challenge proves it once; Practice is a timed run against the clock.

Practice against the clock.
The challenge proves completion once. Practice is a timed run of 15 goals — beat par, then beat your own best time. Every completed goal saves locally.
