In the post #1 of this thread, it is mentionned :

Code:

dd : Deletes three lines from current cursor position downwards.(also :d)

Shouldn't it be dd : Deletes the current line instead ???

I would also add :
cw : change 1 word begining from current cursor position
ncw : change n word begining from current cursor position
cW: change word treating only whitespace (or line ends) as word delimiters
C : Change the whole line from the current cursor position
D : Delete the current line from current cursor position (leaving in command mode contrary to the C command which do the same but switch to insert mode).
R : Replace (kind of overwrite, this command switch to insert mode)
My 2 cents.

vimtutor

VIMTUTOR(1)						      General Commands Manual						       VIMTUTOR(1)

NAME

       vimtutor - the Vim tutor

SYNOPSIS

       vimtutor [language]

DESCRIPTION

       Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor.  It copies the tutor file first, so that it can be modified without changing the original file.

       The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn their first Vim commands.

       The  optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language, like "it" or "es".  If the [language] argument is missing, the lan-
       guage of the current locale will be used.  If a tutor in this language is available, it will be used.  Otherwise the English  version  will
       be used.

       Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode.

FILES

       /usr/share/vim/vim62/tutor/tutor[.language]
		      The Vimtutor text file(s).

       /usr/share/vim/vim62/tutor/tutor.vim
		      The Vim script used to copy the Vimtutor text file.

AUTHOR

       The  Vimtutor  was  originally  written	for  Vi  by Michael C. Pierce and Robert K. Ware, Colorado School of Mines using ideas supplied by
       Charles Smith, Colorado State University.  E-mail: bware@mines.colorado.edu.
       It was modified for Vim by Bram Moolenaar.  For the names of the translators see the tutor files.
