Introduction
Vim's powerful. (I love vim
)
Vim's easy. (I use vim
on daily basis)
I bet you agree JUST with the first statement, don't you?
Well, let me juste explain something and we'll talk about vim
being easy or hard.
It's all about understanding the key-parts
In order to leverage the most of vim
without spending a lot of time, we need to be smart.
How to talk to vim
Let's get started with an extremely important part.
vim
has three important things that are surely required steps to master it.
- Verbs
- Modifiers
- Nouns
# sample.txt
Line 1 before comma, after comma.
I open the file sample.txt
and I put my cursor on the f
of before
.
If I type dt,
, sample.txt
will turns into:
# sample.txt
Line 1 be, after comma.
Let's break dt,
down:
-
d
(verb):d
elete -
t
(modifier): unt
il -
,
(noun): comma
It makes a lot more sense now!
dt,
-> d
elete unt
il the next ,
What's next ?
I'll leave it there.
You can easily look for vim verbs/modifiers/nouns on google.
Conclusion
vim
is about continuous learning on a daily basis, at least from my point of view.
