I've been having a play with vim too... mostly cos I want to be able to use it through ssh on my server at home. Here are some links I've found:
http://www.moolenaar.net/habits.html http://www.vi-improved.org/tutorial.php http://www.rayninfo.co.uk/vimtips.html http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=182 http://www.geocities.com/volontir/ The second one is particularly good! :) Ben -----Original Message----- From: Daryn Hanright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 9 August 2006 11:59 a.m. To: Canterbury Linux Users Group (CLUG) Subject: Brushing up on vim skills Got a quiet period at work, so brushing up on my vim skills - its one of those incremental learning things I find! Anyway found this neat site: http://jmcpherson.org/editing.html Nice hints there. Gonna make more use of navigating around in command mode, using keys like G (bottom of page), gg (top of page), h, j, k, l and particular the combo of j,k (up, down) then w, b to go forwards/back a word. Also another one I've picked up is commenting out a bunch of code. From command mode, go CTRL-V, block text you want to comment out, go SHIFT-I, type your comment out syntax depending on what language you are using, then press ESC - it put that comment syntax on the whole block! Anyone else got some vim tips to share? -- ========================== The PalmHeads http://www.planetnz.com/palmheads
