Basic Vim
Moving by Words
Jump between word starts and ends with w, e, and b.
Lowercase word motions distinguish identifiers from punctuation. That makes them precise around calls, properties, and operators.
Use w, e, and b 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.
