Actually just what I was after. Thanks for your efforts on this :)

Cool, thanks!

Under "Working with multiple files", the split command is incorrect. It's not Ctrl+WQ; it's Ctrl+WS.

rtorr2• 13 years ago

Awesome find. I'll get that fixed.

EDIT: Looks like someone had a pull request for it. Merged.

"c$ - change (replace) to the end of line"

I find 'C' simpler for that command.

jrussino• 13 years ago

Why doesn't 'Y' behave similarly? I've never understood this inconsistency in the default key bindings:

'c$' OR 'C' = change to end of line

'd$' OR 'D' = cut to end of line

'y$' = yank to end of line

'cc' = change entire line

'dd' = cut entire line

'yy' OR 'Y' = yank entire line

Looks awesome. Going over it I'm surprised how much Vim I know already without thinking.

Very useful. Needs a few typo fixes, but it's bookmarked on my phone :)

I'm a bit confused what the intended use case is, here. Is the idea to have it loaded on your tablet while programming on your laptop or desktop so you don't have to switch screens? Why not just print it out and pin it to the wall?

rtorr2• 13 years ago

I made a similar cheat sheet years ago as a PDF. It got some popularity around the developer community. I think it being html/an open source document, you can use it in many different ways (including printing it out and putting it on your wall). The fact that I have already received pull request I think shows it might be a good idea.

I'm not saying I don't think people will find it useful, just that I don't get it. Still, it's clean and concise (and readily printable), so thanks!

It's missing my favorite commands - ci", ci{, and ci( - change (replace) inside quotes, brackets, and parens (respectively) pair under the cursor.

graywh• 13 years ago

That's actually one command/operator (c) with different motions (in case, they're all text objects).

tmimicus2• 13 years ago

true, but isn't c$ similar in that sense? that one made the list...

dokem2• 13 years ago

Should also mention:

  gg - top of file
  G - end of file
  5gg - go to line 5 (I find this easier than 5G)
  ciw - delete current word and enter insert mode
  yiw - copy current word
  zz - center cursor (its also nice to remap G to Gzz etc)

aaronmacy• 13 years ago

one of these can be shortened: cw - deletes the current word & enters insert mode

dokem2• 13 years ago

Apparently yiw can be shortened to yw as well

bpeebles• 13 years ago

Not quite: cw deletes until the end of the current word from the current position and then enters insert mode. ciw deletes the entire your current position is in and enters insert mode. Go ahead and try them.

I personally like :x Over :wq

Also a nice one is :Sex

For splitting windows and navigating the file system.
