Line numbers were irrelevant, just a set of random numbers. There is no pattern to the text (say it's a set of words that needs to be edited to become the same)

Line numbers were irrelevant, just a set of random numbers. There is no pattern to the text (say it's a set of words that needs to be edited to become the same). I guess this is more related to working with large blocks of text rather than code. Someone mentioned macros, I'm going to give that shot.
- dredmorbius 9y agoWhat's the characteristc of the text and how do you identify it? Again, search, paragraph and sentence navigation, and word nav are intrinsic to vim, and fast. If you know what you're looking for, "/<pattern>" and you're there. With incremental search ("set ic" in your ~/.vimrc) thats often a very few keystrokes.
