I read an article a few years ago, the name of which escapes me. It was something like “Idiomatic Vim” or “Linguistic Vim”. I would love to find that article again, if anyone happens to know based on the sparse info I’ve just provided, I would greatly appreciate it.
One of the things I learned was that you can do things like yank to a character. In other words, if your cursor is at the beginning of “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” you can type ‘ytx’ (Yank To to the “x” next “x” character) and it’ll yank “The quick brown fo”. That’s really handy with code, I find.
- Lio 8y agoTo sure about your article but this sort of thing is the subject https://pragprog.com/book/dnvim/practical-vim https://pragprog.com/book/dnvim/practical-vim It’s full of tips on doing things “the Vim” way without plugins.
- mangamadaiyan 8y agoYou wouldn't happen to be referring to "Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi", would you? https://gist.github.com/nifl/1178878 https://gist.github.com/nifl/1178878
