Just kidding.
History of Vi Created by Bill Joy Circa 1976 (38
years old) Name from “Visual”
History of Vim Created by Bram Moolenaar Circa 1991 (23
years old) Named from “Vimproved”
NO MOAR MOUSE
Modes Insert Similar to what you’re used to, just enter
text and go Visual Used to select text for manipulating Command To interact with vim / filesystem (e.g. find/replace)
Keyboard shortcuts Insert Mode h,j,k,l => left,down,up,right w,b => move
between words ^,s => beginning, end of line % => corresponding character t => ‘till y,p => copy, paste v => visually select
The power is in the language Combine the command with
a number 5w => move 5 words d5w => delete 5 words c5w => change 5 words
Terminal Multiplexer
The ‘mux. Circa 2009 Based on “screen” Allows for multiple
terminal sessions in the same window
Otto approves.
