I was going through some old scraps of things I’ve written and found this brainstorming list of possible titles for my then-upcoming book on vim. before I settled on the current title. I kind of like some of these, but overall I think I went for the best one.
Vim Book Titles
- Vim in One (Long) Day
- Long Day’s Journey into Vim
- Gradual Vim
- Vim for Smart People Who Could Use a Little Help
- Vim for the Wise
- Growing into Vim
- Reluctant Vim
- Painless Vim
- The Sane Person’s Guide to Vim
- Vim for the Sane
I really liked Long Day’s Journey into Vim, but that cover would have been hideous and it didn’t really have the “friendly and breezy” vibe I was going for. Ditto Reluctant Vim.
