The tool I'm using to show the keystrokes isn't the best - sorry about that. I'll look into other options for my next video. If you have any recommendations for a better one, please let me know!
Usually when I watch these videos I tend to see the same tips over and over, that seem more tailored to absolute beginners than frequent vim users. Not this one though, this was great and concise and taught me a few things I did not know. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear that the video brought something new to the table for you. Appreciate your kind words and thanks for watching!
Count me in too! Even if a vid shows me something I know, it's validating because the vimJourney is so personal that we get stuck using something just because we didn't know of another way. I learned a few new things here and my usage of Shift+J has been validated.
vim motions are easier if you translate them in your head, e.g for vib you should say it befor typing the motions.. copy inside brackets (v i b) , copy inside function (v i f), change inside quotes (c i ' ) ..etc. The motions are limited to your imagination
Just found out the line joining feature has an advantage beyond what you've shown. When combining two lines that included indent spaces, I always got frustrated because I had to delete the spaces. You can't imagine how I felt when I saw that just pressing the J key automatically removed the spaces and combined the lines simply and neatly. Thank you.
Omg, i used neovim for 2 years and i knew only 2 of the tricks lol I love how i still can keep going down VEEERY deep rabbit hole in neovim/vim even after feeling like i learnt everything lol
Thank you! Sessions were completely new to me. I will try to write something that autosaves the current session from time to time and restores it automatically if the file exists. That would be such a lifesaver
Thanks so much! Someone on reddit pointed out that there's also a plugin called vim-obsession, which offers a nicer interface for managing sessions, if you're interested in a pre-built solution.
Learned some new Vim motions again, thank you. The only little nitpick I want to add is that the CTRL-z / fg method to suspend/foreground is not provided by or limited to Vim. It is simply how things work in a terminal session, which makes this feature even more useful.
Been using vim for 3 years and still this video taught me things that I think would've taken me another year to find if I hadn't seen this video. Thanks a lot for vib and viB that's so fast
@@henrymisc Okay guy this gives me hope, I'm only a few months in my vim journey and I already knew 90% of what it presented here. the i+b and g+x are the only two I learned. @henrymisc is is a great video though
yeah this one is cool. I had just started getting better at targeting the {, [ and ( keys on my keyboard and that will still come in handy when there are lines with different types of parentheses on them, but for all other ones I'm happy to use b and B :)
Been using vim for 7-8 years now but I did not know 3 of the points here. So a like and a subscribe for me since most of what you mentioned isn’t targeted to vim beginners
I noticed you use enter for a new line in insert mode. However, reaching for Enter is painful for your pinky. I use for the new line in insert mode, along with instead of backspace and for deleting the word to to the left. When I learned that I can do that instead of reaching for Enter or Backspace, I felt such a relief. No more pain
@@sergeykolesnik1171 That's pretty smart! Is this default behavior or a custom keymap that you set up? I use a split keyboard with enter mapped to my thumb keys though, so for me this is quite comfortable actually :)
Same for as tab. It's just that ctrl+letter sends non-printable control character codes. So ctrl + h, i, j just so happen to send backspace, tab, and line feed, respectively. You can also use instead of enter, since it sends The only special case i believe is , which just so happens to be kill-word in both vim insert mode, and the default (emacs) bash bindings
nice content. 2 cents from me. C-Z /fg is actually not Vim function. It’s a Linux feature applied to all cli app. You can also type :terminal to have a seperate cmd window. Also, the gx is actually the netrw key mapping, it’s vim defalut folder/file manager . But it’s OK to assume it’s part of the vim . Thanks very much for sharing . Keep it coming ❤
Neovim is just amazing, I've been using it for a little while longer, but I still use almost the bare minimum of basics, but it is still enough to make text editing so much easier and more comfortable.
Man usages of visual block surprised me. Those use cases I absolutely would’ve just done a quick macro on the fly, but in that case visual block is definitely way faster! Big fan
I think that the most useful thing I learned in recent years is: ":norm! ". You can select multiple lines and call a sequence of key strokes on each one. Example: select in visual mode a few lines and type: ":norm! 0wiprefix " or ":norm! A // some comment". It works basically like running a macro on each line :).
not only that, but after suspending a process with Ctrl+Z you can also resume it in the background by typing `bg` instead of `fg`. You can see currently active jobs by using the `jobs` command. Then you can also bring any job back to the front by using `fg %1`, the argument being the job number you saw in the `jobs` command output.
I actually didn't know about the Vim sessions feature, but I prefer the way Harpoon does it. That join two lines feature is an oddball one I didn't know about... I can't think of a scenario where I might want to do this? Maybe if I had a long list of something I wanted to make into one line for some reason, it would be easy to write a simple macro using J to do that, but otherwise, drawing a blank.
Harpoon does handle sessions really well! I actually find myself using Join quite a bit. For example, it is handy when I have a list of items on separate lines that I want to quickly turn into function arguments.
Some really cool stuff in there, and I even got to say all the ones I already knew out loud before you could, so I got to feel smart! It's the perfect video format.
@@Flackon To add to that, if you have multiple jobs running in the background, you can check their status with jobs and bring a specific job to the foreground using fg %. For example, fg %2 will bring the second job back. Thought you’d find this tip handy as well! :)
Great idea! I actually had a much longer list of tips for this video, but I wanted to keep it concise. Thanks to all of you, I've also learned some new tricks, so there's definitely plenty of material for a part 2! :)
For appending to the end of a group of lines you don't have to jump to the end of the lines, shift-A is enough. Same for prepending. Shift-i is enough. Both shift I and A will go to start/end of line wherever on the line you are. They are also repeatable with period. You don't _have_ to block select either, visual line works as well, in case shift is in a better location than ctrl.
01:00 How to achieve the same for quotes so I can use q instead of " for changing in quotes for example? When I used to have vim extension in vs code, this was on by default.
That gg=G command to auto-indent would be amazing to be able to do. Does that require a specific plugin or anything? Or perhaps it only works for specific file types? LSP needed or something? I just tried it on yaml files in my work environment, and my personal nvim setup as well, and both just removed indents from all lines. It could be a skill issue on my end, I'll re-evaluate later once I have more time to dig into this. Great video by the way. Subscribed.
Interesting! I'm not 100% sure but I think it has to do with Treesitter. I'd try to install the yaml parser with treesitter. I have it in my treesitter config. You can find it in my dotfiles. Link in description. LMK if it helped.
4:38 yes you can use `%` to jump between matching parenthesis/brackes/quotes or whatever, but I learnt recently you can also use `])` to jump to the next unmatched (from the current cursor's position) closing parenthesis, of `[[` to go to the previous square bracket. So if you have: ``` if (true) { int a = 0; //
@@henrymisc due to the german keyboard having the umlaute, it shifts special characters to other keys which then require you to use keys life ctrl shift and alt a lot more than on a us keyboard. secondly, the | characters are between shift and y (shift and z on a us keyboard) which makes typing them super unusual because you either have to press your ring finger and your pinky finger together to to get > or press right shift and the key which just feels unnatural. Most importantly are the brackets, which are shifted around by the umlaute like I mentionned. Especially for languages which use (){}[] heavily, like for example rust, it makes it very annoying to use a german keyboard in general, so any kind of speedup is useful. Essay over
If you need to quickly get into the terminal in Neovim, you don't even have to leave. Just use :term to open a terminal emulator window right in your workspace, run whatever command, and then use :q to exit the buffer.
The best motion I recently figured out is that in normal mode hit: '' This will move you back to the place you jumped from (Note: these are two single quotes) Overall one of the most powerfull features of vim are marks but i see no one talk about them
All good just that please specify wether you use lower case or capital letters next time on your key capture software. Confusing to see G when you actually meant g
I'm using the Nord color scheme everywhere. In my previous video I explain my terminal setup in more detail, maybe you find that interesting. Thanks for watching :)
Do you have any tips for navigating in insert mode? I find myself just using C-arrows, since it is usually faster than exiting insert mode, navigating and reentering.
What is your Esc key? If you haven't done so already, you could consider remapping it to a more convenient location like Caps Lock, for example. Also, did you know you can run Normal mode commands directly from Insert mode with Ctrl+O?
What is your status-bar theme? Or overall theme if status bar design is part of it. Just starting with Neovim (kickstart) and would like to change "ugly" default status line. Also percentage of progress in file is missing in my config. It it present in vanilla vim. But can't easily find in nvim.
@@de-is I'm using Lualine with the Nord theme. You can find the config in my dotfiles repo. Also a video about the entire config is planned. Hope this helps :)
I'm using vim for a year and a half or something and I definitely didn't know about any of these, your videos are great, keep it up. But you gotta switch to linux, cmon 😆
Very nice video, I learned a couple of things! I didn't fully understand how b and B actually work for replacing i( or i{ 🤔 what is the actual meaning of b/B here?
@@FalconCodes-dx2nj I'd agree with this. ZZ and :x are equivalent. ZZ saves a keystroke since you don't need to press Enter. But pressing the same key twice can be slower or less convenient for some. It's great that Vim gives us options, so everyone can choose what feels most natural.
i just realized, that my visual block mode and insert and append doesn't work anymore... somewhere on my way i adjusted my keybindings and i have no idea, what's wrong now.
2:50 you pressed `jjjjjjjjjj` instead of pressing `G` Another way to solve that would be to do `:%s/.*/\0` and enter, I prefer that but it's not objectively better
Very helpful, but please be more careful with the command cases that are shown. For example, you say 'press g,' but it shows a capital 'G,' which can be confusing for people following along.
@@lileightright Absolutely! Thanks for pointing that out. The tool I'm using isn't the best. I realized that too late. I'll look for another tool next time.
Sadly I didn't learn something to day. Something you might like: * and # jump forwards and back to the word under the cursor, with word boundaries, so "word" will only match "word", but not "sword". g* and g# also find partial Matches.
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the feedback! I'm glad you shared those tips - g* and g# are new to me, so I’ll definitely be trying them out.Thanks again for sharing!

Very helpful, but please be more careful with the command cases that are shown. For example, you say 'press g,' but it shows a capital 'G,' which can be confusing for people following along.
@@lileightright Absolutely! Thanks for pointing that out. The tool I'm using isn't the best. I realized that too late. I'll look for another tool next time.
Shift key is shown when capital letters are pressed btw, but yeah it is a little bit uncomfortable
capital G is awesome
Sadly I didn't learn something to day.
Something you might like:
* and # jump forwards and back to the word under the cursor, with word boundaries, so "word" will only match "word", but not "sword".
g* and g# also find partial Matches.
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the feedback! I'm glad you shared those tips - g* and g# are new to me, so I’ll definitely be trying them out.Thanks again for sharing!
I felt like I unlocked a superpower when I started using these
