![]() Lower case a will transition you into insert mode to the character on the right of the current location.Įxample: at WRD ("W"): use this sequence: aO, the cursor will end up back in normal mode having WORD written a starts editing to the right of W, O is inserted, and throws back to normal mode. So, without further ado, here's my Vim A -> Z list. There's also significance to where a sequence begins so, an example would include marking the character when the cursor is at before the sequence. The list will go through the alphabet mentioning each case with useful and notable tips.Ĭonventions: Vim keystroke sequences are in code blocks and from time to time are followed by or, these are marked differently as they are mapped differently in different keyboards. How is it going to work - Vim has a special and different meaning to each character, its lower or upper case, and obviously the motions it is combined with. The following list has both original intentions of Vim authors, and some additions I made up myself to help myself remember what I was doing when I first started. I've been also collecting a long list of tips and notes which are open sourced,īut recently I felt there's an educational aspect to Vim that is being missed Vim has phonetic logic to every keystroke, by understanding them and the logic behind them, one may feel much easier making their way through the steep learning curve. I've written quite a bit about it an introductory post after reading the awesome Practical Vim and some advanced features. Vim has been one of the best adoptions and projects I took upon learning in the last several years. Vim is overwhelming if you're just getting started, but it's even more rewarding! TL DR - ish: This post is a list of options and keystrokes in Vim, if this is the first time you're getting to know them, take your time, read some, memorize and go back once you feel comfortable with taking more in. ![]()
