Wow, I am amazed at how nice the built-in navigation system is in vi and vim. Who came up with the original concept of using ctrl+f and ctrl+bto navigate, and the */# key to jump forward/back?
All I wanted to do was take the svn diff output, pipe it to vi -. The problem is that to find out what was changed, I had to jump to all the "Index" elements, so I can use # and * to navigate. But when I got to the end of the screen, I got stuck. H, M, & L didn't seem to do much. So I tried the ctrl+f. To my surprise, it moved forward a screen, it neatly positioned the cursor *above* the line I was just on. So I can move forward one screen *AND* see the context of the code, in other words what was on the line before. Ctrl+b appears to behave in a similar fashion. Kudos to whoever invented Vi, vim or wherever the basic navigation system in vi was invented. It's one of the most advanced and user-friendly ones I've ever encountered. -Ven -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
