Hello, Codeforces!! Many people ask for the best text editor for the programming contest. So, according to me vim is a great tool for competitive programming. It is not very comfortable to use it at first but after some time you will feel it is the best text editor ever made. So, I am going to help setup VIM(for windows) and make is ready to use for competitive programming.

WHY VIM??

I suggest, just try vim and you will get to know. But, if you are curious you can refer: https://medium.com/@fay_jai/what-is-vim-and-why-use-vim-54c67ce3c18e

You can download vim from https://www.vim.org/download.php, just download the Self-installing executable file, install it by keeping all the settings default.

Now, just launch Gvim from the start menu and you will enter a page where you would not be able to understand much but don't worry I am here to help you.

At the start, you will be in normal mode, just type :e ~\desktop\main.cpp, this will create a new file on your desktop(or if it already exists it will open it). To edit the document you have enter into insert mode(by pressing "i" key on your keyboard).
