Haha. I love this post because it's cool to see some tricks that I don't use very often and should (folds, which I only ever use with vimdiff, and fX/FX/tX/TX). The only thing that I use a lot and you don't mention are the various blocking tools -- shift + v to highlight lines, ctrl + v to highlight vertical blocks, and v to highlight sequential chunks. AND you can change the blocking style in the midst of your moving the cursor, which I only recently realized.<BR/><BR/>You may have just left that stuff out because you already had too many "basics," though, hm?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, like the blog! Post more and maybe I'll try to post more geeky stuff on mine which is just full of vaguely literary ponderings.marilyn c. colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789377759027979524noreply@blogger.com
