Common Vim operations

To do their best, you must first sharpen your tools.

As an essential tool for Linux development, being able to maximize the effectiveness of VI will inevitably improve our work efficiency. Below are some tips for using vi.

 

1. Position the cursor and scroll through the screen.

Command	Function
$	End of current row
0	Start of the current row
Gg	File Header
G	End of File
10gg 10g	Jump to row 10th
''	These are two back quotes, which are the keys under ESC on the keyboard. Return to the position before the cursor jump
H	Jump to the first line on the screen
M	Jump to the middle line of the screen
L	Jump to the last line on the screen
GK	The last line on the screen
Gj	The next line shown on the screen

 

In Vim command mode, there are many commands for moving the cursor, which brings us great convenience. The most common method is0And$To position the cursor at the beginning and end of the line.

Frequently UsedGPosition the cursor at the end of the file,GgReturn to the file header. Add a number before the two commands to go to that line, for example10ggWill take you to 10th rows.

''The function is to return to the position before the cursor jump. For example, assume that the cursor is currently in row 10th, press G to the end of the file, and then press ''to return to row 10th.

If you find thatKAndJNot very useful (just click a few lines on the screen), you can try itGKAndGj.

Dd	Delete current row
YY	Copy current row
D $	Delete content from cursor position to end of line
Yt <	Copy the content from the cursor position to the next "<" (In addition,CT <Modifying the content from the cursor to "<" is convenient when editing HTML and XML files)
