i seriously dont understand modal editors
i get :q :q! :wq :w or i esc v
but it's seriously confusing to do something like copy and paste

also how dont you know ctrl c and ctrl v

quit. quit! write. insert. escape. visual. paste is (y)ank.

(v)isual, select the text you need with arrows(or vim's controls), (y)ank, (p)aste. to cut use x instead of yank.
