mozdev.org - vimperator: index

Vimperator is a free browser add-on for Firefox, which makes it look and behave like the Vim text editor. It has similar key bindings, and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in.

Why, oh WHY, do those #?@! nutheads use vi?

Great explanation of the philosophy behind vi and how to become productive using it.

Using vi/vim properly, you don't use it modally. You are always in
normal mode, and only enter insert mode for short bursts of typing
text, after which you press <Esc> to go to normal mode.
if you're not positioned at one of these special characters, it will scan
character by character to the right, until the first one is found, and then
moving to the character matching that one.

- 'i>' refers to "the current 'i'nner angle bracket block", so you can
  do 'di>' ("delete inner angle-block") to just delete all the contents
- You can use '(' or ')' for the current parenthesized block (or even 'b' from
  'b'lock), '[' or ']', '{' or '}', 'w' for punctuation-delimited-word, or 'W'
  for the current space-delimited word, prepending 'i' to any of them for
  the 'inside' contents, or 'a' to include the delimiting characters too.
- 'H', 'M' and 'L' take the cursor directly to the 'H'ighest, 'M'iddle, or
  'L'ower line on the screen
- 'zt', 'zz' and 'zb' keep the cursor at the current
  position, but scroll the view so that it falls at the 't'op, 'z' center, or
  'b'ottom of the screen
- '*' searches forward for the next occurrence of the
  word under the cursor ('#' does the same backwards, at symmetrical positions so
  its easier to remember)
- Say 'aB', as described in example #3 above: it selects the current '{'
  and '}' delimited block, including the braces themselves
- you can paste with auto-reindent
  (just ']p' in vim)
- with vim, just
  three keystrokes: '>aB' ("indent a Block")
- the 'gU' operator to make everything upper-case

Ctrl-v ...switch to the block-visual mode (select rectangles of text)
19 more annotations...
- ge ...jump to previous word-ending
  gE ...jump to previous word-ending, ignore punctuation
  g_ ...jump to last non-blank character of the line
- you can specify a buffer into some text is yanked. Typing "ayy
  copies the current line into register a, pasting the contents of register
  a is done by "ap. Vim remembers the last few yanks and deletions in
  automatic registers, to show the contents of the registers type :registers,
  you can also use them to paste some older text.
- Suppose you have selected a rectangle (using Ctrl-v), you can insert text
  in front of it by typing I (switch to insert mode) and inserting your text.
  As soon as you leave the insert mode, the text will be added to all the other
  selected lines. Use A to enter text after the selection.
- Using Ctrl-v:
  
  This is a testNEWLY INSERTED
  This is a NEWLY INSERTED
  This is NEWLY INSERTED
  
  Using Ctrl-v$:
  
  This is a testNEWLY INSERTED
  This is aNEWLY INSERTED
  This isNEWLY INSERTED
- For me the most important one is the inner word: iw. To select the current word, just
  type viw (v for selection mode, and iw for the inner word), similar for deletion: diw.
- The a-variant selects the parentheses or a blank after a word too.
- iw ...inner word
  aw ...a word
  iW ...inner WORD
  aW ...a WORD
  is ...inner sentence
  as ...a sentence
  ip ...inner paragraph
  ap ...a paragraph
  i( or i) ...inner block
  a( or a) ...a block
  i< or i> ...inner block
  a< or i> ...a block
  i{ or i} ...inner block
  a{ or a} ...a block
  i" ...inner block
  a" ...a block
  i" ...inner block
  a" ...a block
  i` ...inner block
  a` ...a block
- To filter the text through an external command type :!sort %.
- Ctrl-x Ctrl-l completes the whole line.
- you can type Ctrl-x Ctrl-k to do a
  dictionary lookup for the already typed characters.
- Vim automatically sets various marks like
  
  {0-9} are the last 10 positions of closed files (0 the last, 1 the last but one)
  < and > are the left and right position of marked texts
  ( and ) are the start or end of the current sentence
  { and } are the start or end of the current paragraph
  [ and ] are the first or last character of the last yanked or changed text
  . position of the last change
  ' or ` position before the last jump
  " position before the last exit of the file (local to a file)
  ^ position of the last insert-stop
- To open many files in tabs via the command line use vim -p *.txt.
  
  To switch between tabs use the mouse (in gVim) or type gt.
  
  To create a new empty tab type :tabnew, or open a file in a new tab
  :tabe xyz.
- You can open a window and split the current one horizontally using :sp or
  vertically using :vsp. This way Vim shows you the same buffer in two
  different windows. You can open a new file too, using :sp file or :vsp file.
  To switch between windows use the mouse or type Ctrl-w {hjkl} in
  the command mode.
- To show a different buffer in the
  current window, you can switch them using :b NUMBER, where the buffer number
  can be looked up using :buffers.
- Type :set hidden
  to enable unsaved buffers
- :b N switch to buffer N
  :buffers show buffer list. Explanation:
  
  % current window
  # alternate buffer (switch using :e# or :b#)
  a active (loaded and visible)
  h hidden (loaded but not visible)
  + modified
  :bd unload the buffer and remove it from bufferlist (don’t close Vim,
  even on the last buffer)
  :bun unload the buffer but stay in bufferlist
  :sp #N split current window and edit buffer N
  :w write the current buffer to disk
  :e file load a file from disk
  :q closes current window (and Vim if it’s the last one)
  :new new empty window
  :on close all windows but the active one (Ctrl-W o)
  Ctrl-W {h,j,k,l} move between windows
- You can start macro-recording using q and one of {0-9a-zA-Z}, so for example
  qq records the macro to buffer “q”. Hit q when you are finished recording.
  
  Now you can replay the macro at any time using @q.
