Vim Shortcuts

(Follow bait)
Speed improvement
Gives developers satisfaction
Does not mess up our train of thoughts
(You are in a terminal anyway)
Why?
Why not Emacs, Sublime, Atom, etc...
This talk is about:
- Vim shortcuts
Not about:
- Vim vs Emacs vs ...
Shortcuts
Important Ones
"i" : insert mode
"esc" : normal mode
":q" : quit current vim window
":w" : write/save current vim window
To Move Around:
h/j/k/l: left/down/up/right
Insert mode: typing on the screen
Normal mode: typing = commands
Nice-to-have shortcuts
A (Shift + a): Cursor move to the end of the line (insert mode)
I (Shift + i): Cursor move to the beginning of the line (insert)
gg: move to the beginning of the entire file
G (Shift + g): move to the last line of the entire file
:<line-number> : go to a specific line
yy: copy current line (regardless of the position of cursor)
y: copy whatever is selected
p: paste whatever is copied
dd: delete current line
d: delete whatever is selected
v: visual mode (selected)
V(Shift + v): select the current line
f: find
Example:
const rando = 4; (imagine cursor is right before the "="
"vf;" = "visual find ;", will select from wherever the cursor is to ";"
= : format
Shift + v + = : format current line
gg=G : format the entire file
Efficiency
