Vim

I have been using Linux for a number of years now and right from the start have been using Vim.
It is an elite text editor with a number of inside jokes about it.   Love it or hate it, a skilled Vim operator will out perform any peers on other text editors.   I am not excluding Vi comparable text editors here.

That being said, I am not an expert and this blog post is a repository of commands I am learning and have learned.   I plan on using this page to remind myself of the rarely used commands.   This page will be updated often.

So hear are the commands I am learning or know so far;

%s/foo/bar/g     [Find and Replace foo with bar]
V then =         [Reformat Selection]
n      [After Search Find Next]
v      [Visual Mode]
V      [Visual Mode Line Select]
gg=G   [Re-indent Entire Document]
p      [Put or Paste Buffer]
y      [Yank or Copy Selected]
dd     [Delete the Current Line]
3dd    [Delete Three Lines]
u      [Undo]
