But w and b are not the end of vi's (let alone vim's/neovim's + plugins') motions.

- MaxBarraclough 9y agoSure, but it's not often I win big by using Vim's advanced movement commands.
- jsjohnst 9y agoShift-G / gg are “big” wins for me on a fairly regular basis.
- MaxBarraclough 9y agoThat's a good example, but I suspect most editors/IDEs have their own equivalent shortcuts. Apparently in Visual Studio it's SHIFT+CTRL+HOME.
- jsjohnst 9y agoNot all keyboards have a home key and the vast majority have a shift/g key, but yes, i agree.
- zweicoder 9y agoOne of the most useful Vim motions for me has been repeating j / k for n times, e.g using 12j to jump down 12 lines. Combined with relative line numbers (to show how many lines to jump up / down) this has been a really big win for me to navigate around text.
- ibotty 9y agoyou don't use `)` or any other object motion? You should (consider)! `:help object-motions`
