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

Awesome find. I'll get that fixed.

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

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?

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!

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

I find 'C' simpler for that command.

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

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)

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

bpeebles13 anni fa

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.

Apparently yiw can be shortened to yw as well

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

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

graywh13 anni fa

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

tmimicus13 anni fa

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

I personally like :x Over :wq

Also a nice one is :Sex

For splitting windows and navigating the file system.

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

harrytuttle13 anni fa

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