Every search bar looks like a URL bar to users

This is exactly what I'm aiming to do with my guitar playing. To internalize the instrument so much that I can only focus on the music and not have to think about where and how I should use my fingers. I practice hard to be able to achieve this.

The thing is, I see the value in my guitar playing. But when I code, much of my time is spent thinking about what I'm coding, and much less for the actual typing and editing, so I don't really see the value for vim. That's why I finished the tutorial, but then never used it in actual coding. Purely my own opinion, of course.

I found doing a few vim tutorials valuable as a reminder to look up some basic text manipulation in other editors. Like selecting a text rectangle with the keyboard, or cut and paste a single line.

Or that a text search is a perfectly reasonable way to move the cursor seven steps right to the next right paren.
