Seems to:
1. move up a text block ({)
2. enter insert mode on line above cursor (O)
3. enter a LaTeX string (\begin{quote})
4. exit insert mode, move down a block of text (<ESC>})
5. enter insert mode one line below the cursor and enter the closing LaTeX string (\end{quote})
6. exit insert mode and move back up to the start of the text block, enter visual mode, move back to the bottom of the text block and also selecting it (<ESC>{v})
7. while still in visual mode run a normal mode command that moves to the end of the line and inserts "\\" at the end of the line.
So the output would be
\begin{quote} \\
\end{quote} \\

\begin{quote} \\
\end{quote} \\
I don't ever use :normal so not sure but wrap the curreny block in a tex quote environment and append a backslash to the end of each(?) line?
If so I'd probably use a substitution after the visual select to do that instead since I use those more often.

Excellent introduction to vim.
The preface is a bit too long, IMO. But great job.
Cool. I wasn't aware of opening files in tabs.
Replacing <ESC> with escape and <RET> with return/enter, what does this sequence of keys do?
