vim racer is a speed based training game that teaches real Vim motions by racing a block cursor through real source code, from h j k l all the way to search and bracket matching. There's no accuracy score, only speed, so the fastest path is always the correct one.

Learn Vim the only way that actually sticks: race the clock, then race your friends.
vim racer turns Vim's modal navigation into a skill you can practice, measure, and beat. A real block cursor moves through real text, actual source from the Go standard library, CPython, Lua, and other open-source projects. Your job is simple: reach every target with the fastest keystrokes. There's no accuracy score to pad your ego. The fastest path is the correct path, full stop.
Seven motion groups take you from h j k l through word jumps, counts, line and file navigation, search, and bracket matching. Each one builds directly on the last, the same way real muscle memory builds at a real keyboard. Every lesson tracks your personal best, so you don't just learn the motions, you get faster at them run after run.
Once the motions stick, take them online. Up to six players race the same file at the same time, with every Vim motion unlocked, and you can watch your rivals' cursors move through the text live as you race. Nobody wins until everyone crosses the finish line, and the fastest time takes the round.
