VIM-related commands are documented separately

1. Unbeatable scalability

1.1 Scalability gives software a powerful life

Once upon a while, Windows users had no concept of software extensibility, and they could only make very limited customizations to the software they used. The right to extend the software remains in the hands of the software developer. Users of software who want new features and features can only wait for the software to be upgraded. The ability of the user can not wait, in order to add the features they want, starting from 0 to write a new software. In this way, new features mean new software, software wave upon wave under Windows, and rapidly updating. As a result, software under Windows is very short-lived.

Emacs and Vim have not been eliminated by the times, but are becoming more powerful because they have unmatched scalability in countless editors.

1.2 Emacs is an operating system disguised as an editor

1.3 Vim is not just VI

2. The charm of Maverick

2.1 Extensibility gives you the soul

2.2 Unique modes of operation that you're poisoned.

3. Hacker's editor

4. Holy war caused by artifact

Vim Users and Emacs users have a comparable taste, they should appreciate each other. The reality is that users who are loyal to vim are incompatible with users loyal to Emacs, and often fight with endless battles. Emacs users say that Vim operates in a single and eccentric way, and vim users say that Emacs is bulky and slow to start.

This section learns how to indent quickly in vim and indent operations are effective in normal mode

Open a file for editing

$ vim protocols

• Normal mode input 15G , jump to 15 lines
• Input entire line in normal mode >> indent right (used to format code super cool)
• Enter the entire line in normal mode to the << left fallback
• Normal mode enter : command line mode to shiftwidth set values to control the number of characters for indentation and fallback

2.shiftwidth command

shiftwidthThe command refers >> to the indentation generated by the previous command (which can be abbreviated sw ). Enter : command line mode to set values in normal mode to control the number of characters in shiftwidth indentation and fallback get current setpoint

2. Quick Find Exercises

Use VIM to open a file for editing

$ vim protocols

• Normal mode input /icmp find string ICMP
• Normal mode Enter to n find the next ICMP
• Normal mode input ？tcp up lookup string TCP
• Normal mode input N to find the last occurrence of TCP

1. Introduction to Windows operation

Vim can open multiple windows in one interface for editing, which are called Vim windows. There are many ways to open a method, for example, you can use the command-line mode to enter : New   Open a new Vim window, and enter the window to edit a new file (normal mode input ctrl+w can also, but Ctrl+w the shortcut key for Chrome to turn off the tab in Chrome, so you can practice it in IE or other browsers, except for the : New command, The various methods listed below can also open a new window in command mode or Normal mode:

• Command-line mode enter :sp 1.txt open new Landscape window to edit 1.txt
• Command-line mode :vsp 2.txt to open a new vertical window to edit 1.txt
• Ctrl-w ssplit the current window into two horizontal windows in normal mode

"Summary" through the four chapters of the simple learning, I probably understand the basic operation and use of VIM, vim powerful can abandon the mouse to do all the operation, proficiency in a variety of commands can greatly improve work efficiency.

However, the corresponding, Vim is more difficult to get started, need a lot of practice to adapt.
