NAME

   vimtutor - the Vim tutor

SYNOPSIS

   vimtutor [-g] [language]

DESCRIPTION

   Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor.  It copies the tutor file first, so that
   it can be modified without changing the original file.

   The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn  their  first  Vim
   commands.

   The  optional argument -g starts vimtutor with gvim rather than vim, if
   the GUI version of vim is available, or falls back to Vim  if  gvim  is
   not found.

   The  optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language,
   like "it" or "es".  If the [language] argument is missing, the language
   of  the  current  locale  will be used.  If a tutor in this language is
   available, it will be used.  Otherwise  the  English  version  will  be
   used.

   Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode.

FILES

   /usr/share/vim/vim80/tutor/tutor[.language]
