+## Learn *Vim-CtrlSpace* in 30 minutes
+
+*Vim* is said to have **steep learning curve**. It’s not true. It’s rather an
+urban legend.  [Ben Orenstein][1] says that **you can learn to use *Vim* in 30
+minutes**:
+
+> Over the years, the popular mythology around vim has become that it’s insanely
+> difficult to learn; a task to be attempted by only those with the thickest of
+> neck-beards. I’ve heard dozens of times from folks who are convinced it will
+> take them months to reach proficiency.
+>
+> These beliefs are false.
+>
