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

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!
