I wonder what the complexity of a plugin would be that watches you use vim and tells if you're doing an anti-pattern?

My only gripe with vim is that the discoverability of features is god awful because :help is so overwhelming.

Yeah me too. I guess it would need to match all the wrong ways against a right way. It is probably easy for something like "jjjjj", but already someone doing BBBBi instead of I would be difficult to match: because one would also need to see where he ended up with BBBB: beginning of line or somewhere in the middle
