Neovim is a very powerful editor that has many commands, too many to explain in
a tutorial such as this. This tutorial is designed to describe enough of the
commands that you will be able to easily use Neovim as an all-purpose editor.

means that you need to do the exercises to learn them properly. If you only
read the text, you will soon forget what is most important!
For now, make sure that your Shift-Lock key is NOT depressed and press the
`j`{normal} key enough times to move the cursor so that Lesson 0 completely
fills the screen.
