My vim commands

Vim is a really powerful editor with huge and easy to remember commands.

Warning! Bad english (I try to learn, so I decide to write some posts in english).

But today I notice that in my daily editing tasks I use only small subset of them.

It's really interesting to me, and I decide to document what I type in my vim.

So, here is my top:

dd - delete line
dw - delete to the end of word
w - move forward by word
b - move backward by word
O - insert empty line above current line
o - insert empty line after current line
0 - move to the beginning of the line
A - move to the end of the line and switch to /insert/ mode
cw - replace word with another one
rX - replace char under cursor with char X

It's just ten commands, but I feel very comfortable when I use them.
