Capitalization

  • u/U for visual mode
  • gu/gU for normal mode
  • ~ switches capitalization, g~ does the same on a motion.

Registers

  • "= is the expression register, it eats vimscript expressions

Marks

  • mx sets a mark at cursor, per buffer
  • mX sets a mark at cursor, globally
  • 'x (resp. 'X) jumps to the x/X mark

Visual mode

  • o moves to the "other end" of the selection (for rectangular blocks, it's the opposite corner)

Formatting

  • gq formats the selected lines, using textwidth

History

  • q/ opens an interactive search history
  • :<C-f> opens an interactive command-line history; also through q:, but we reserved that for the fzf version of cli history.

z-* stuff

  • Spelling: zg good, zw bad; zug and zuw undo.
  • zt, zb, zz to move view maintaining cursor;
  • Folds, tl;dr: za to toggle fold(zA recursively), zc to close it(zC recursively), zO to open folds recursively(zo), zd to delete a fold(zD recursively), zf to create folds with movements, zE to eliminate folds entirely; z[j-k] are for navigating around folds.
  • To save folds on exit: :mkview

Random stuff

  • earlier command
  • ge and gE are e and E but going backwards
  • gv goes to the last selection
  • gq is the basic comand to format lines
  • :scriptnames lists the loaded scripts (i.e. plugins)
  • :verbose COMMAND is useful to debug stuff
  • set list shows unprintable characters

Fold-Markers

  • Using foldmethod=marker, one can write {{{1 in a comment to open a fold (no need to close it, but you can with }}}1)

AutoCommands

Temporarily disable aucmds

:au!

Vimtex

  • ctrl-x_ctrl-O starts omni completion (amazing)

Tags

Creation

  • install ctags
  • !ctags -R . (i.e. prepend command! MakeTags and map it)

Keybindings

  • ^] jump to tag under cursor
  • g^] for ambiguous tags
  • ^t jumps back up the tag stack

Built-in Autocompletion

  • ^x^n for JUST this file
  • ^x^f for filenames
  • ^x^] for TAGS
  • ^n for anything

Modelines

  • See :help modelines. (things like vim:set et sw=4 ts=4 tw=180:)

Replace tabs with spaces:

1,$s/\t/ /g
