Editor: Vim

Do this chanllege: https://www.shortcutfoo.com/app/dojos/vim

Cheatsheet (that I don't know)

My bad habit (mostly motion):

  • use 3j or 3k instead of hitting jjjj or kkkk

  • Edit at the first of the line: 0i -> I

  • Move to first non whitespace char: 0w -> ^

  • Navigation in current screen: H/M/L first/middle/last

  • Scroll current line to top of window: zt

  • t and f is different: t is to before the character where f includes the character. That's why when you copy to quote you should use vf' instead of vt' (this will miss the last character before ')

Good to use:

  • Good to navigate based on error message:

    • Go to line number 12: 12G

    • Go to column 20: 20l

  • Go to previous location: `` (two backticks)

  • Use bookmark: ma (mark with a) then `a (go to a)

Good to know:

  • Swap case: ~ (can do it in normal mode)

  • move screen: CTRL+e or CTRL+y

  • :x is same as :wq

Cheatsheet

  • %

  • gu gU

  • * n N

Use Bookmarks

  • set: ma

  • go: `a (go to exact location) or 'a (to go front of the line)

What can it do:

In-file navigation:

  • Use bookmark: ma and then `a

  • or go to last place: ``

Delete text in multiple lines (block):

  • go to start of block

  • ma

  • go to end of block

  • d`a
