Vim commands for the daily life
05.08.2005 at 12:42
My favorite editor is vim but until recently i didn't really use its great features (well even yet i may only use about 5% of its capabilities). So i decided to read a bit through the documentation and there is lot of interesting stuff, and so i am going to write a short summary about the commands which i use in daily life (not the cryptic ones which were designed to attract perl programmers ;)) However this is not ment as an introduction for newbies or a documentation type :help or checkout vimtutor for these things. Ok here it goes:
args # show opened files
args file3 fil4 # set new ones
next next! wnext # go to the next/previous file
prev prev! wprev # in the list depending on what you
# want to do with your changes.
split [filename] # split window horizontally /
vsplit [filename] # vertically
CTRL + W W # switch between the windows
CTRL + W [UP/DOWN-KEY]
CTRL + W _ # maximize current window
:qall # close all windows
:only # close all windows expect the current one
"{a-z}y # yank a line into a register
"{a-z}p # past the content from a register
:mark {a-z} # set a mark store it in a register
:m{a-z}
:'{a-z} # jump to a given mark
q{a-z} # record some commands and store
# them in a register type q to stop
@{a-z} # recording and @{a-z} to playOh and here is an excellent VIM Reference Card for those of you who like to further investigate in this topic.
