Move in document

• gj move down display line, if :set wrap and one line split into lines, this move will be downward to display instead of line number+1. Try it.

Motion in document

• Use d{motion}, y{motion} and so on. {motion} can be following:

  • iw current word(:h word see detail)
  • aw current word and a space
  • iW current WORD
  • aW current WORD and a space
  • is current sentence
  • as current sentence and a space
  • ip current paragraph
  • iP current paragraph and a space

• Use these as memory shortcut:

  • inside
  • around
  • word
  • sentence
  • paragraph

Register

• "{register}" use with register, following is some registers(:h registers):

  • "" unnamed register, use x, d will cut content into this
  • "_ black hole, like /dev/null
  • "+ system clipboard, like ctrl-c, then use "+y will paste content in vim

• q{register}q will clear a register content

Dance with Command

1. q: open command window when normal mode, you can edit history of command or re-reun it while press <CR>
2. <c-f> open command window when command mode
3. If you need copy current word under cursor when command mode, press <c-r><c-w>. <c-r><c-a> for whole WORD

4. Consider below situation:

   You want to replace something with regex, but you may need construct regex many times, and then use :s/regex/replace/g

   Here is solution:

   1. Use /regex1 to match and see the result
   2. The result is not what I want, change it with /regex2
   3. You can use q/ to find command history, repeat step 2-3 until perfect match
   4. :%s//replace/g. if pattern is omit it will use last match.
