VIMTUTOR(1)                            General Commands Manual                           VIMTUTOR(1)



NAME
       vimtutor - the Vim tutor

SYNOPSIS
       vimtutor [-g] [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 argument -g starts vimtutor with gvim rather than vim, if the GUI version of vim
       is available, or falls back to Vim if gvim is not found.

       The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language, like "it" or "es".  If
       the [language] argument is missing, the language 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.
