Change Inside Paragraph

Replace a complete paragraph in one operation.

cip removes the block, enters Insert mode, and leaves adjacent paragraph structure available for context.

Use cip in the editor beside this lesson. Practice is where you learn it, with the answer a click away; the Test is graded, unaided, and the only thing that marks this lesson complete.

Practice to learn it. Test to prove it.

Practice keeps the answer a click away — endlessly in Free, or as a 15-goal run against par and your own best time in Timed. The Test gives you 8 goals with no hints and a keystroke budget on each; passing it is what marks this lesson complete.
