"/pattern/d". In vi, using the analagous command ":/pattern/d" only deletes the first line that matches the pattern. How do you delete all the lines that match the pattern? ":g/pattern/d" (:g[lobal] lets you apply an ex command to every line matching a pattern)

heh. at 6:15 in the morning, it blew my mind. it took a few seconds to register what was going on.
if anybody has any vim tips they'd like to share, i'd love to see a thread of people's favorite vim tricks.
here's another one i learned just recently:
1 one 2 two 3 three 4 four 5 five 6 six 7 seven 8 eight 9 nine
use line highlighting (shift v) and highlight lines 4, 5, and 6. type "zf". you've now "folded" lines 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6:
1 one +-- 5 lines: 2---------------------------------------------------- 7 seven 8 eight 9 nine
now use line highlighting to to highlight the first 4 lines. type "zf" you've now folded the first four line:
+-- 8 lines: 1---------------------------------------------------- 9 nine
place the cursor somewhere on the fold. type "zo" to unfold:
1 one +-- 5 lines: 2---------------------------------------------------- 7 seven 8 eight 9 nine
place the cursor somewhere on the fold. type "zo" to unfold again:
1 one 2 two 3 three 4 four 5 five 6 six 7 seven 8 eight 9 nine
really great for programming. one of the uses is when i'm editing a function and need to see another function that's way down in the source file. i can bring them "close together" by folding.
previously, i either moved the functions using block cut and copy (ick) or by using vim's marks (better, but still ick).
zf: fold the highlighted selection. it can take movement commands too, like "zf}" to fold the next paragraph.
zo: open a fold. the cursor must be on top of the proper fold.
zc: refold the last fold.
what would be nice is if we could have "named folds", like named registers or named marks.
wouldn't mind hearing other people's tips.... :-)
