Vim Cheat Sheet

Published 08 June 2010

Vim tricks and shortcuts I want to remember:

*	Search forward for the word under the cursor.
#	Search backward for the word under the cursor.
viwp	Replace the word under the cursor with the contents of the unnamed clipboard.
g;	Move to the position of the last edit.
ctrl-n	Autocomplete in insert mode based on the open buffers.
vim -O filename.txt filename2.txt	Open multiple files in vertical split from the command line. Note the small o option opens them horizontally split.
