VimGolf - real Vim ninjas count every keystroke!

vimtutor, but you can cheat

It's time to revisit vimtutor, but as an experienced Vim user! Your goal is to change the file to appear as if you had gone through the tutorial, but you do NOT need to actually complete the tutorial as written or do anything that doesn't result in changes to the file. You may use whatever you have in your Vim toolbelt that's allowed under VimGolf rules. The whole tutorial is too large to submit, so only the relevant lesson headers and associated practice lines are presented in this challenge. You will have to reference the tutor for the original instructions if you need them: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vim/vim/4466ad6baa22485abb1147aca3340cced4778a66/runtime/tutor/tutor
