tool - vi a little more basics for simple editing
I am using the vi since a few years. A few months ago i realized that i am just using a bit of the mighty power of the vi. Thats why O`Reilly's Learning the vi editor was welcomed in my house :-). I have just finised a small part of the book but found already some "new" stuff for me. Thats why this entry is a supplement to my vi knowledge. But maybe there is something for you out there too.
- :e! - returns you the last saved version of your file
- W - move forward from word by word without considering symbols and punctuation
- c2b - change two words backwards
- c$ - change to the end of the line
- cc - change the entire current line
- C - change characters from current cursor position to the end of the line
- s - substitute from current position
- S - same as cc
- R - puts you in "overwrite" mode
- ~ - change case of your letter (Upper- to Lowercase and other way)
- D - deletes from courrent position to the end of the line
- x - deletes current character
- X - deletes character before current position
- xp - delete current character ad put after curser
- y$ - yankes to the end of the line
- . - repeats last command
- O - opens blank line above curser
- J - joins two (or more) lines
- e - moves to the end of a word
Wow, after this list it is hard to believe that i am using the vi for years now, "we are absolute beginners" comes to my ears ;-).
