## General Tips
|
|
- `vim -p file1 file2` to open multiple files as tabs
|
|
- `:qa` to quit out of all open buffers
|
|
- `:Ex` to return to netrw (file explorer)
|
|
## Terminals
|
|
- `:term` to open a terminal in current window
|
|
- Use `i` to enter insert mode and type into the shell
|
|
- `<C-\><C-n>` to return to normal mode to allow scrolling or switching windows
|
|
- I've remapped this to `<C-space>`
|
|
## Windows
|
|
- `<C-w>` prefixes all window commands
|
|
- `<C-w>` + `h,j,k,l` to focus window to left, bottom, up, right, respectively
|
|
- `<C-w>s` to split current window horizontally, equivalent to `:split`
|
|
- `<C-w>v` to split current window vertically, equivalent to `:vs`
|
|
## Registers
|
|
- `"c` before a command, where `c` is the register to store the text
|
|
- Use capital letter to append to the register, e.g. `"C`
|
|
## Macros
|
|
- Press `qc` to start recording, where `c` is the register to store the macro
|
|
- Stop recording with `q`
|
|
- Replay the macro with `@c`
