Vim tutorial

I'm doing a vim tutorial because Emacs hurts my fingers and I think the modal style of vim will be easier on my fingers.

This made me LOL for some reason:

Move the cursor to the beginning of the first line, for example, and type xxxxxxx (eight x’s) to delete the first eight characters on the line.
Can you guess what it is yet?

OP here... so... does Vim do Scheme syntax indentation or what? I don't want syntax highlighting, but I'd like to be able to press tab in the middle of a line and that that line be indented correctly. Or perhaps Ctrl-C TAB or something?
