Miscellaneous Vim Ideas

Sorting through my old Dropbox files I ran into a collection of notes from when I was learning Vim that still seemed relevant to share.

• Indentation based on syntax rules; == indents the current line and V= indents the visually selected region.
• Command history, q: to open and q/ to search.
• !mkdir -p %:h to resolve “directory not created” errors.
• F, f, T, and t can be repeated with ; and reversed with , (even works if other movement commands are issued in between).
• To wrap text visually select and use gq.
• map key to write and run a file :map <leader>r :w\|:!./file.sh<cr>.
