[fit] Modal editing

[fit] Change the meaning of the keys in each mode of operation

  • Visual mode - highlight portions of the file to manipulate at once
  • Ex mode - command mode

[fit] Normal mode

The secret sauce

The secret sauce

  • text objects and motions
  • the DOT command
  • macros

[fit] Text objects and motions

[fit] Think of a file as more than individual characters

[fit] text objects

  • w - words
  • s - sentences
  • p - paragraphs
  • t - tags1

left

[fit] Motions

  • a- all
  • i - in
  • t - 'til
  • f - find forward
  • F - find backward

right

[fit] Combine with comands

[fit] Commands

  • d - delete (also cut)
  • c - change (delete, then place in insert mode)
  • y - yank (copy)
  • v - visually select

right fit

[fit] delete in word

[fit] caw

[fit] change all word

[fit] yi)

[fit] yank all text inside parentheses

[fit] va"

[fit] visually select all inside doublequotes

[fit] Repetition

[fit] The DOT command

.

[fit] Repeat the last command

[fit] that's it

[fit] but it's powerful

[fit] Additional commands

  • ^ / $ - move to the beginning/end of line
  • I / A - move to the beginning/end of line and insert

[fit] Not everything is repeatable

[fit] at least with the DOT command

[fit] MACROS

[fit] Macro

[fit] A sequence of commands recorded to a register

Record a macro

  • q{register}
  • (do the things)
  • q

[fit] Vim is extemely customizable

[fit] Plugins tailor vim to your needs

[fit] But we can still do more

[fit] vim + tmux

[fit] brew install tmux

[fit] What is tmux?

  • Terminal multiplexer
  • View and control multiple consoles
  • Preconfigure environments

unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-a
bind C-a send-prefix
