Re: "TIPS"

Comment in: s/vim

I was thinking about saying this as a joke, but in thinking about it I realised it was a tip that I received that was actually genuinely useful to me. My best Vim tip is: use Emacs with EVIL instead. As a long-time Vim user EVIL is a good enough emulation for me to feel comfortable whilst getting the benefits of Emacs’ better programming models/APIs and all the excellent features people have written for it.

Something I use a lot and find useful, as someone who knows the basics of vim and not much more:

gg=G

What it does is go to the beginning of the file (gg), and redo your indentation (=) to the end of the file (G). Super handy, but is probably old news to most people here.
