Sun, 08 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

1. Jump to Matching Parentheses or Braces

function matchingBraces() {
 if (true) {
 console.log("Jump between these braces using %");
 }
}

2. Visual Block Editing

Use `<C-v>` to select a block of text and edit all rows simultaneously.

const ock1 = "Edit me!";
const ock2 = "Edit me!";
const ock3 = "Edit me!";

3. Move by Search History

Use `/log` to search for “log”, then press `n` to move to the next match and `N` for the previous match.

console.log("Search for this log statement.");
console.log("Another log statement.");

4. Try `ci"` or `di"` to modify or delete the text inside these quotes.

const greeting = "Change or delete this text.";
const foo = () => {
console.log("Vim is awesome");
};

5. Repeat the Last Command

Delete this line using `dd`, then press `.` on the next line to repeat the delete.

const repeatCommand = "Repeat this delete.";

6. Replace Text Globally

Use `:%s/old/new/g` to replace all instances of “old” with “new”.

const oldVariable = "Replace all 'old' instances.";

7. Swap Two Lines

Use `ddp` to swap this line…

console.log("This line should be swapped below...");

8. Increment/Decrement Numbers

Place your cursor on the numbers below and press `<C-a>` to increment or `<C-x>` to decrement.

let number = 40; // Increment or decrement this number.

9. Reformat Code

Select this block of code and press `=` to auto-indent it.

function messyCode() {
const foo = "fjkdj";
}

10. Toggle Case

Place your cursor on the text below and press `~` to toggle its case.

const caseToggle = "Toggle This Case.";

You might have seen many people in productivity videos using multiple or wide-angle screens, and it might feel straightforward to believe that using multiple displays might improve productivity. However, it’s actually the opposite. How so?

The best analogy I can think of is typing on a keyboard. The main reason people use touch typing to type fast is that it doesn’t make you look down at the keyboard while you’re focused on the task. It makes you much faster than looking down. Looking at a secondary or multiple screens is similar. But what’s the proof of it, you might ask.
