# Preface
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've been using vim for a long while now, working on the terminal as much as I do. Over the years, I slowly started using more and more actual features of vim, instead of just having it work for me as a complex to deal with text editor. Last year, I finally set up a personal `dotfile`-repository. Yes, I guess I am one of *those* guys now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyway, so I've been getting more used to using vim as an in-place IDE instead of running vim solely to edit one document and closing it again. And once you start working with panes in vim, a lot of keyboard shortcuts come into play. I've spend some time aggregating the ones I keep forgetting in a short list, once again, copied verbatim from my internal wiki.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you got any tips for me surrounding the usage of vim, or would like me to append some shortcuts that weren't mentioned, shoot me a message!
