Re: "TIPS"

In: s/vim

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.

My favorites are:

gq - autoformat/wrap lines

di( or di{ or di< or di[ - deletes everything between braces

. - performs last editing action (macro)

q - sets macro

visual-mode - great for commenting out a block of code

And the best key sequence that I wish vim tutorials would cover is....

ctrl-c - It's the touch-typist friendly equivalent to esc.
