Here are some useful references for using [[Vim]], the powerful customizable wrist-friendly text-editor:

==Basic editing==
'''[ESC]''' to return in normal mode.

'''i''' key to insert text.

'''h, j, k, l''' keys for moving around the text.

'''x''' key to delete a character.

'''rx''' keys replaces current character with the x character.

'''u''' key to undo an editing operation.

'''U''' key to undo all editing operations performed to the current line.

'''[Ctrl]-r''' keys to redo (undo the undo).

== Motion keys ==
'''$''' key to move to the end of line.

'''0''' key to move to the beginning of line.

'''w''' key to move to the first character of the next word.

'''e''' key to move to the last character of the current(or next) word.

== Operators ==
Operators are useful to perform operations a repeated number of times.
Syntax is
Op [count] motion
wher Op is the operator, [count] is the number of times, and motion is the scope of the operation.

=== Delete ===

'''d''' key.

'''dd''' deletes the whole line.

=== Put ===
Whenever a delete operation is performed, the deleted characters are stored in the put variable.

'''p''' key.

example: 'dd' followed by 'p' performs a cut/paste one-line operation

=== Change ===
'''c''' key.

== Cursor location ==
'''[CTRL-g]''' shows the cursor current position in text.

'''gg''' Goes to the beginning of text.

'''G''' Goes to the end of text.

'''[line]G''' goes to the given line.

== Search ==
'''/text''' keys finds the first occurence of ''text'' in the buffer from the cursor.

'''?text''' keys finds the first backward occurence of ''text'' in the buffer from the cursor.

'''n''' key finds the next occurence of ''text''.

'''N''' key finds the previous occurence of ''text''.

'''[Ctrl-o]'''

'''[Ctrl-i]'''

=== Replace ===

'''s/old text/new text''' replaces first occurence in line.

'''s/old text/new text/g''' replaces all in line.

'''#,#s/old text/new text/g''' replaces all between lines # and #.

'''%s/old text/new text/g''' replaces all in buffer.

'''%s/old text/new text/gc''' replaces all in buffer but prompts before each replacement.

== Add ftplugin ==
Copy the plugin into the <code>$VIM/ftplugin</code> directory then type at the vim prompt
:filetype plugin on

== Configure VIM ==
Edit the <code>/etc/vimrc</code> file or the <code>~/.vimrc</code> in linux or the <code>$VIM/_vimrc</code> file in windows.

===Space indentation===
This will correctly set <tabs> to 4 spaces.
set shiftwidth=4 " defines the indentation characters
set tabstop=4 " defines the indentation characters
set expandtab " defines the indentation characters

==Tips & tricks==
# performing edits on multiple files (pipe separates commands)
$ vim -c "argdo %s/ABC/DEF/g | w" *.txt
> vim -c "argdo %s/FOO/BAR/g | update" `grep -l FOO *`

Windows users, you might want to check out [http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm Notepad++] instead of using [[vim]].
