Description

Vim is a fast and efficient text editor that can help you work more efficiently as a developer. With over 120 tips, you'll quickly learn the editor's core functionality and tackle your trickiest editing and writing tasks. This book has been revised and updated to cover Vim 8, with three new tips and five revised ones. You'll learn how to use Vim's powerful features, such as the Dot Formula to complete repetitive changes with one keystroke, and how to automate complex tasks by recording your keystrokes as a macro. You'll also discover how to work with Vim's regular expression syntax and build complex patterns by iterating on your search history. All these techniques can be used without installing any plugins, and the book is suitable for both beginners and intermediate Vim users. The book assumes you have Vim version 8 installed.
