Description in BOLD means overwrite default configuration
[ https://github.com/Piping/dotfiles ] has my configuration
Notation: <leader>mm means ,mm
<C-a> means Ctrl + A , <S-x> means Shift + x
a/b means press keyboard either a or b Motions: command that moves the cursorhjkl | left/down/up/right | f/F | search and move to next typed character | t/T | similar to f/F. but stop before character | 0/$ | start/end of current line | w/e | next start/end of word, W/E for word with punctunation | b/B | previous start of word B for word with punctuation | gg | go to line {count}, default first line | G | go to line {count}, default last line | -/<enter> | previous/next start of the line | H/M/L | cursor go to TOP/MIDDLE/BOTTOM of the screen | '' | (single quote twice) previous location in jumplist | '{a-z}/`{a-z} | previous marked position using m{a-z}, E.g. ma `a | '. | To the position where the last change was made. | % | move to closing pair [], {}, () | {1-9}+ | a number type before motions, repeat {count} motion | :help motion | check more on documents inside vim |
Vim Concept: Motions - command that moves the cursor, depends on current cursor position. Above list is not complete! It can be used with OPERATOR to efficiently editing text in Textual User Interface Operator - editing the text efficientlyd | delete/cut | c | change | y | copy/yank | ~ | reverse case | ! | filter with external program, E.g. format doc | gu/gU | make lower/upper case | </> | indent left/right | = | filter with predefined equalprg | zf | fold the text |
Two way to combine operator and selections:
1. <operator><motion> or <operator><text-object-motion> etc.
2. <selection from visual mode><operator>
Press one operator twice operate on current line as the selection
E.g. yy copy the current line, dd cut/delete the current line Paste && Registersp | paste using unnamed register " literally, after cursor | P | paste before cursor | "0p | paste 0 register's content in normal mode | <C-R>" | double quote, insert text as if typed | <C-r>0 | the one before current copy/cut text | <C-R>= | eval expression after = and paste | <C-R>/ | the last search pattern | <C-R><C-R>" | equivalent to p in normal mode | :h i_ctrl-r | more registers |
VIM Concept: Registers, used to store copy/cut text, the register can have single character names, {0-9a-z"%#*+:.-=}.
p/P is used in normal mode, other Ctrl-R{register} are used in insert mode and command line mode. (I reversed p/P since I feel p before cursor is more natural for modern IDE) Page MovementJ/K | move buffer down/up and keep cursor position | zz | bring current line and cursor to center | zb | move current line and cursor to bottom screen | zt | move current line and cursor to top screen | <C-e>/<C-y> | similar to J/K above, but cursor moves |
Visual Mode Commandso | switch between two ends of selection (anchor) | <c-v> | switch to visual block mode | V | switch to visual line mode | v | switch to visual mode | <leader>a | alignment, using plugin easy-align |
Windows (Split, Size Adjustment, Placement)<C-w>= | equal size display all panels | <C-w>s | horizontal split | <C-w>v | vertical split | <C-w>H | put pane to absolute left, take full height | <C-w>L | put pane to absolute right, take full height | <C-w>J | put pane to absolute bottom, take full width | <C-w>K | put pane to absolute top, take full width | :set splitright | for vertical split, place new pane right | <C-w>hjkl | move to relative left/down/up/right pane |
| | Useful Utility Commands (Normal Mode). | dot command, repeat last change | J | Join the line below to current line,overwrite, <leader>j | <C-a> | add {count} to number under cusor | <C-x> | subtract {count} to number under cusor | @: | repeat last cmdline command, <leader>: | <C-R>= | calculator <C-R>=128/2, insert mode |
dot command . does not repeat command line commands, only changes that is defined by vim. E.g. invoked by operator c and followup inserted text.
CSCOPE MAPPING (My Configuration):cs add <path to cscope.out> <path to worksapce> | <leader>gs | search the C symbol under cursor | <leader>gg | search global defintion | <leader>gd | search funtions called by this function | <leader>gc | search who called this function | <leader>gt | search this string | <leader>ge | search this egrep pattern | <leader>gi | search for files include the filename under cursor | <leader>gii | search for files include the current file |
Insert Mode (My configuration)<C-a> | Jump to the beginning of the line | <C-e> | Jump to the end of the line | <C-w> | Backward-Delete Word | <C-d> | Forward-Delete Word | <C-z> | backward move cursor one word | <C-x> | forward move cursor one word | <C-u> | delete/cut current line | <C-y> | paste/yank to current line | <C-k> | delete the rest line after cursor |
Normal Commands (My Configuration)\ | equivalent to %, go to pairs | \\ | format and intent the file E.g. clang-format | = | go to end of line | <leader>nn | open file browser panel | <leader>mm | open ctags symbol list panel | <leader><cr> | Disable highlights when you press | <leader>f | use fzf to fuzzy search recuently used files | <leader>q | close current window | <leader>w | save the file | <leader>u | open the undotree | <leader>zz | Distraction-Free Display |
Command Mode ::% | {range}, equal to 1,$ (the entire file) | :! <external cmd> | range of text is being pipe to cmd to be replaced | :%! xxd | edit binary file | :%! xxd -r | save the file into binary form |
fuzzy-search-panel (My configuration)<c-f> | select all | <c-g> | deselect all | tab/shift-tab | select-deselect current line | <C-t> | open file in new tab | <C-x> | split horizontaly | <C-v> | split vertically | <esc>/<c-d><c-c> | quit |
Special and Very Useful Windows -- Quickfix:copen/:cclose | open/close Quickfix | :cn | go to next fix | :cp | go to previous fix |
Quickfix typically used after :make command and cscope, the quickfix window contains the parsed result from :make that contains where complication error happen, and put cursor to exactly the file/line/column so user can just fix it!
I open quick fix with my shortcut and prefix a :botright copen to open it at the bottom of window Commentary ( External Plugin Default)gcc | comment/uncomment current line | 10gcc | comment next 10 lines | gcu | comment block | gcap | comment the paragrah | gc | comment selection (visual mode) |
Tabsgt | go to next tab | gT | go to previous tab,<leader>tt | :tabnew | new tab, <leader>t | :tabclose | close current tab, <leader>tc |
