Where are the tips from?

Not an issue but a question. Where are the tips sourced from?

[michaelb]

various websites (too many to find the sources now), mostly the first page of 'vim tips' results, curated by yours truly

As the sources were public domain, I didn't think much about copying the tips into this repo's files, but I'm taking this point into account

All right, that's okay. I was simply curious, not trying to raise an issue out of it.

I actually got the idea to create this ticket because I stumbled upon this site a while back: http://zzapper.co.uk/vimtips.html

Maybe you'd be interested in taking a look and maybe even integrating some wisdom into this project.

It's a well organized site, but I'm not confident I can copy a large part of it as-is because some lines are formatting, or sometimes not usage tips but 'config tips'

However, the visual style "shortcut : tip explanation" seem pretty consistent with mine, so little work (less than an hour) should be enough to curate this HUGE list into a file of really useful ones, suited for usage with vim-tips. I don't have this time right now, as school and other projects takes priority, but I'll give it a go in the long term.

Thanks for the suggestion!
