Basic Vim
Opening New Lines
Create an indented line above or below with O and o.
Open commands work from anywhere on the current line and preserve indentation, so adding a statement does not require reaching an edge first.
Use o, and O 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.
