By contrast, the GNU General Public 13 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 14 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This 15 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software 16 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to 17 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by 18 | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to 19 | your programs, too. 20 | 21 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 22 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 23 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 24 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it 25 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it 26 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 27 | 28 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 29 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 30 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 31 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 32 | 33 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 34 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 35 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 36 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their 37 | rights. 38 | 39 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 40 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 41 | distribute and/or modify the software. 42 | 43 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 44 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 45 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 46 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 47 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 48 | authors' reputations. 49 | 50 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 51 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free 52 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the 53 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any 54 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. 55 | 56 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 57 | modification follow. 58 | 59 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 60 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 61 | 62 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains 63 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed 64 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, 65 | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" 66 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: 67 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 68 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 69 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in 70 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 71 | 72 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 73 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of 74 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program 75 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the 76 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). 77 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 78 | 79 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 80 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you 81 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate 82 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the 83 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 84 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 85 | along with the Program. 86 | 87 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and 88 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 89 | 90 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion 91 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and 92 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 93 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 94 | 95 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices 96 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 97 | 98 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in 99 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any 100 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third 101 | parties under the terms of this License. 102 | 103 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively 104 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such 105 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an 106 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a 107 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide 108 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under 109 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 110 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but 111 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on 112 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 113 | 114 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If 115 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, 116 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 117 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 118 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you 119 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 120 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 121 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 122 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 123 | 124 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 125 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 126 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 127 | collective works based on the Program. 128 | 129 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program 130 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of 131 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 132 | the scope of this License. 133 | 134 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 135 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 136 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 137 | 138 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 139 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 140 | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 141 | 142 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 143 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your 144 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete 145 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be 146 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium 147 | customarily used for software interchange; or, 148 | 149 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 150 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is 151 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 152 | received the program in object code or executable form with such 153 | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) 154 | 155 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for 156 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source 157 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 158 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to 159 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a 160 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include 161 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary 162 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 163 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component 164 | itself accompanies the executable. 165 | 166 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering 167 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 168 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as 169 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not 170 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 171 | 172 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 173 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt 174 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is 175 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 176 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 177 | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 178 | parties remain in full compliance. 179 | 180 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 181 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 182 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 183 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by 184 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the 185 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 186 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 187 | the Program or works based on it. 188 | 189 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 190 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 191 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to 192 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further 193 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 194 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to 195 | this License. 196 | 197 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 198 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 199 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 200 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 201 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot 202 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 203 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 204 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent 205 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by 206 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 207 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 208 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. 209 | 210 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under 211 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to 212 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other 213 | circumstances. 214 | 215 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 216 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 217 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 218 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is 219 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made 220 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed 221 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 222 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing 223 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 224 | impose that choice. 225 | 226 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 227 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. 228 | 229 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in 230 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 231 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License 232 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding 233 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 234 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates 235 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 236 | 237 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 238 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 239 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 240 | address new problems or concerns. 241 | 242 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 243 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any 244 | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 245 | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 246 | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of 247 | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 248 | Foundation. 249 | 250 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 251 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 252 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free 253 | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 254 | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals 255 | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 256 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 257 | 258 | NO WARRANTY 259 | 260 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 261 | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN 262 | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 263 | PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 264 | OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 265 | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS 266 | TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 267 | PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 268 | REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 269 | 270 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 271 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 272 | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 273 | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 274 | OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 275 | TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 276 | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 277 | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 278 | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 279 | 280 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 281 | 282 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 283 | 284 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest 285 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it 286 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. 287 | 288 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest 289 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively 290 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least 291 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. 292 | 293 | {description} 294 | Copyright (C) {year} {fullname} 295 | 296 | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 297 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 298 | the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or 299 | (at your option) any later version. 300 | 301 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 302 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 303 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the 304 | GNU General Public License for more details. 305 | 306 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along 307 | with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 308 | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. 309 | 310 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. 311 | 312 | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this 313 | when it starts in an interactive mode: 314 | 315 | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author 316 | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. 317 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 318 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. 319 | 320 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate 321 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may 322 | be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be 323 | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. 324 | 325 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your 326 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if 327 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: 328 | 329 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program 330 | `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. 331 | 332 | {signature of Ty Coon}, 1 April 1989 333 | Ty Coon, President of Vice 334 | 335 | This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into 336 | proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may 337 | consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the 338 | library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General 339 | Public License instead of this License. 340 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | vimtutor-extended 2 | ================= 3 | 4 | Interactive document for learning Vim that picks up where vimtutor leaves off. 5 | 6 | How to do 7 | --------- 8 | 9 | Open vimtutor-extended in Vim and follow the directions. 10 | 11 | What you should have already did 12 | -------------------------------- 13 | 14 | You should have already completed vimtutor.

You should already be 8 | familiar with all of the following commands. 9 | 10 | ** NOTE: means CTRL-G. ** 11 | 12 | 1. h j k l Move the cursor in normal mode. 13 | Return to normal mode. 14 | :q! Quit without saving changes. 15 | x Delete a character. 16 | i Insert text before the cursor. 17 | A Append text to the end of the line. 18 | :wq Save and quit. 19 | 20 | 2. dw de d$ Delete to the next word, end of word, end of line. 21 | w e $ Move to next word, end of word, end of line. 22 | 0 Move all the way left. 23 | dd Delete the line. 24 | u U Undo a change, all changes on the line, redo. 25 | 26 | 3. p Put (paste) recently deleted or yanked text. 27 | rx Replace one character with x. 28 | ce cw c$ Change text to end of word, next word, end of line. 29 | 30 | 4. See filename. 31 | G gg 123G Go to last line, first line, line 123. 32 | /hello Search for 'hello'. 33 | n N Search next, previous. 34 | ?hello Search for 'hello' in reverse direction. 35 | Jump back to where you were, forward. **WAY COOL** 36 | % Jump to matching ( [ { < > } ] ). 37 | :%s/a/b/gc Replace a's with b's on [%] every line, multiple [g] 38 | times per line, with [c] confirmation. 39 | 40 | 5. :!CMD Run external command CMD, e.g. :!ls or :!dir. 41 | v Visually select text. 42 | :w FILE Write selected text to FILE. 43 | :r FILE Read in contents of FILE. 44 | :r !CMD Read in the output from running CMD. 45 | 46 | 6. o O Open a new line below, above. 47 | a Append text after the cursor. 48 | R Replace (overwrite) text. 49 | yw Yank (copy) a word. 50 | :set OPT Turn option OPT on. 51 | :set noOPT Turn option OPT off. 52 | 53 | 7. :h :help Open help window. 54 | Move to next window. 55 | :e $MYVIMRC Edit your Vim config file. 56 | In commandline mode, suggest completions. 57 | 58 | If any of these are totally unfamiliar, go back to vimtutor and catch up. 59 | 60 | Just like vimtutor, this document is intended to be used interactively. 61 | Please try all the exercises, and even more importantly, try to use them 62 | in your day-to-day text editing. 63 | 64 | Do not rush. You will learn best if you do a small amount at a time, and 65 | try to apply what you learn in real situations. Don't move on until 66 | 67 | - you learn to use the command without thinking too hard, 68 | or 69 | - you decide you don't really want to use it anyway. 70 | 71 | You don't have to learn everything, just the parts you find useful. 72 | 73 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 74 | Lesson 8: FILLING IN THE BLANKS 75 | 76 | Vimtutor introduces many commands, but skips closely related alternate 77 | commands. This section will introduce the alternate versions of the 78 | commands you already know. It should also help reinforce your knowledge. 79 | 80 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 81 | Lesson 8.1: PAGING AND BACKSPACING 82 | 83 | 1. In Lesson 1 you learned to move around with h,j,k,l. Press j and k to 84 | move down and up. 85 | 86 | 2. and move your cursor and screen down and up by half a page at 87 | a time. Browse the document and come back. 88 | 89 | NOTE: means CTRL-D, that is, press the control key and the letter D. 90 | 91 | 3. Lesson 1 also taught you to use x to delete characters. Upper-case X is 92 | similar, but deletes the preceding character. Use x and X to fix up the 93 | sentence marked ---> below. 94 | 95 | NOTE: Use u to undo if you make a mistake. 96 | 97 | ---> I want somQQe ice creQam nowQQQQQ. 98 | 99 | NOTE: Typically, the upper-case version of a command in normal mode does 100 | something similar, but different. 101 | 102 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 103 | Lesson 8.2: MANY WAYS TO INSERT MODE 104 | 105 | ** Press I to insert at the beginning of the line. ** 106 | ** Press C to chop off the end of the line and insert new text. ** 107 | 108 | 1. You know to use i, a, and A to insert, append, and append at the end of 109 | the line. Try these again. 110 | 111 | 2. There are many other ways into Insert mode. Move your cursor to the 112 | middle of the first line marked ---> below. 113 | 114 | 3. Press k to go one line up. 115 | 116 | 4. Press I to insert the beginning of the sentence and make it look like 117 | the line below it. 118 | 119 | 5. Press to leave insert mode. 120 | 121 | 6. Move your cursor to the W on the second line marked --->. 122 | 123 | 7. Press C to chop off the end of the line, and then type it in correctly. 124 | 125 | ng of this sentence was missing. 126 | ---> The beginning of this sentence was missing. 127 | ---> The end of this senWQEEXNMOXQXEMDF MSFMP IEXMXPFD! 128 | ---> The end of this sentence is now ungarbled. 129 | 130 | NOTE: I Insert text at the beginning of the line, but after any 131 | whitespace. 132 | C c$ Delete the rest of the line and enter insert mode. 133 | S cc Delete the whole line and enter insert mode. 134 | s Delete one character and enter insert mode. If there is 135 | a visual selection, delete that. 136 | 137 | NOTE: All these letters enter insert mode: a A i I s S c C o O 138 | 139 | NOTE: R enters replace mode, which is similar to insert mode. 140 | 141 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 142 | Lesson 8.3: WORD MOVEMENTS 143 | 144 | ** Use the W, B, and E keys to move among words. ** 145 | 146 | Movements commands can be used alone, just to move, or after an operator, 147 | to influence what it operates on. 148 | 149 | Lesson 2 taught you that w moves to the next word, while dw deletes 150 | to there. 151 | 152 | 1. Move the cursor just after the first ---> below. 153 | 154 | 2. Press w, W, b, B, e, and E to move forward and backward one word or 155 | one WORD at a time. Try them all here: 156 | 157 | ---> A sentence with words and "-WORDS-" in it. 158 | ---> Some words have *special* charac-ters or #punctuation aroun'd them. 159 | ---> When taken together, these are considered WORDS. 160 | ---> A long WORD: http://some.example.org/url.html 161 | 162 | NOTE: w, b, and e operate on words. words can NOT have a mix of punctuation 163 | and alphanumeric characters. A sequence of punctuation is its own word. 164 | 165 | NOTE: W, B, and E operate on WORDS. WORDS are only delimited by whitespace, 166 | and can therefore include letters, numbers, and punctuation. 167 | 168 | This URL is made of one WORD, or eleven words: 169 | 170 | WORDS: http://some.example.org/url.html 171 | words: http :// some . example . org / url . html 172 | 173 | 3. Using only W and B, move your cursor to the WORD '*special*' above. 174 | Then press dW to delete the WORD. 175 | 176 | 4. Using only W and B, move your cursor to the word 'together' above. 177 | Press cw and change it to 'combined'. 178 | 179 | 5. Move only with w, W, b, B, e, and E, and make three more changes with 180 | these commands: d2W c3w dE 181 | 182 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 183 | Lesson 8.4: SENTENCE, PARAGRAPH MOVEMENT 184 | 185 | Vim also understands paragraphs and sentences. 186 | 187 | 1. Press { and } to move from paragraph to paragraph. 188 | 189 | 2. Press ( and ) to move among sentences. 190 | 191 | 3. Place your cursor at an earlier section in this file. 192 | 193 | 4. Press vap to visually select a whole paragraph. 194 | 195 | 5. Press d to delete the selected paragaph. 196 | 197 | 6. Find another paragraph and press dap to delete it immediately. 198 | 199 | 7. Press p to put the paragraph somewhere else. 200 | 201 | 8. Try the following commands around the file: 202 | 203 | cip Change inner paragraph (do not touch the space around it). 204 | d3} Delete from here through the next 3 paragraphs. 205 | {d3} Go to the beginning of this paragraph, and then delete 3. 206 | das Delete a sentence. 207 | d) Delete to the end of the sentence. 208 | d( Delete to the beginning of the sentence. 209 | 210 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 211 | Lesson 8.5: MAGIC CHARACTERS IN SEARCH 212 | 213 | 1. Turn on search match highlighting. Type :set hls and press enter. 214 | 215 | 2. Lesson 4 taught you to use /text to search for text. Try searching for 216 | four stars (****) below by typing /**** and press enter. 217 | 218 | 3. Notice that you get an error. The reason for this is that some characters 219 | have a magic meaning in search, by default. 220 | 221 | 4. Instead, type /\*\*\*\* and press enter. The \ character removes the 222 | magic meaning from each star. 223 | 224 | NOTE: Remember to use n and N to jump to the next and previous matches. 225 | 226 | 5. Now type /\V**** and press enter. The \V sequence removes the magic 227 | meaning from all subsequent characters. 228 | 229 | ---> Some text within which to search for **** stars and such things.... 230 | ---> More text with tricky **** characters.... 231 | 232 | NOTE: The magic characters that may cause you trouble are: 233 | 234 | ^ $ . * [ / \ ~ 235 | 236 | NOTE: The magic that is happening is actually regular expressions. There are 237 | entire books on the subject, so it will not be fully explained here. For 238 | more information, see :help regexp 239 | 240 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 241 | Lesson 8.6: MAGIC CHARACTER MEANINGS 242 | 243 | This section will very briefly describe the meanings of the default 244 | magic characters in search (regular expressions). 245 | 246 | ^ This character matches the beginning of a line as though 247 | that were a character. It is only magic when used at the 248 | beginning of the search pattern. 249 | 250 | $ Matches the end of a line. It is only magic when used at 251 | the end of the search pattern. 252 | 253 | . Matches any character except a line break. 254 | 255 | * Means that the preceding character can be matched zero or 256 | more times. E.g. ba* matches all these: 257 | 'b' 'ba' 'baa' 'baaa' 'baaaa' ... 258 | 259 | [ Specifies a group of characters, only one of which must 260 | match. E.g. b[eoy] matches 'be' or 'bo' or 'by'. 261 | 262 | / Indicates the end of the search pattern. Must be escaped 263 | with a backslash, even when using \V. 264 | 265 | \ Removes (or adds) magic on the next character. 266 | 267 | ~ Matches the last used substitute string. This helps you 268 | search for new after a :%s/old/new substitution. 269 | 270 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 271 | Lesson 8.7: VISUAL SELECTION MODES 272 | 273 | Lesson 5 taught you that v enters Visual mode, in which you can select 274 | multiple characters. 275 | 276 | 1. Move your cursor to the T in the first line marked ---> below. 277 | 278 | 2. Press v to enter visual mode. 279 | 280 | 3. Press e several times to extend the selection to the end of the next 281 | word. 282 | 283 | 4. Press o to switch the cursor to the other end of the selection. 284 | 285 | 5. Press w several times to shrink the selection by a word at a time. 286 | 287 | 6. Press b several times to re-grow the selection by going back a word 288 | at a time. Press when done. 289 | 290 | ---> There are three distinct visual modes: 291 | ---> Character-wise, in which you select characters in reading order, 292 | ---> Line-wise, in which you select whole lines, and 293 | ---> Block-wise, in which you select a rectangular block of characters. 294 | 295 | 7. Make sure your cursor is still in the ---> marked area, and press V 296 | (uppercase) to enter visual line-wise mode. 297 | 298 | 8. Press j and k until all four lines are selected. Notice that 299 | pressing o still switches to the other end. 300 | 301 | 9. Press d to delete the selected lines. Press u to undo the deletion. 302 | Press gv to get your visual selection back. 303 | 304 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 305 | Lesson 8.7: VISUAL BLOCK MODE AND MORE 306 | 307 | 1. Move your cursor to the X on the first line below marked --->. 308 | 309 | 2. Press to enter visual block mode. 310 | 311 | 3. Press j three times so that the bad characters XQZ# are all selected. 312 | 313 | 4. Press r, to replace them all with commas. 314 | 315 | 5. Press fs to find the next s character. 316 | 317 | 6. Press . to repeat the last change. 318 | 319 | ---> A man, a planX a canals Panama! 320 | ---> A van, a planQ a canals Panava! 321 | ---> A car, a planZ a canals Paraca! 322 | ---> A nan, a bran# a lanars Banana! 323 | 324 | NOTE: Two extremely powerful commands were sneaked into this section: 325 | fx to find the next character x. 326 | . to repeat a change. 327 | These will be explained in more detail. For now, try making some more 328 | visual block selections. What happens when you use d (delete) and 329 | p (put)? 330 | 331 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 332 | Lesson 8.8: YANK AND SHORTCUTS 333 | 334 | 1. Lesson 6 taught you that y is used to yank (copy) text. 335 | 336 | {{TODO: yy Y, relation to dd cc D C etc.}} 337 | 338 | 2. Press yy to yank a whole line. Try it and use p to put (paste). 339 | 340 | NOTE: yy is similar to dd to delete a whole line and cc to change a whole 341 | line. 342 | 343 | 3. You can also use Y which does the same thing. 344 | 345 | NOTE: Y is NOT similar to D (delete the rest of the line) or to C (change 346 | the rest of the line). You may expect Y to yank the rest of the line 347 | but it does not. Use y$ for that. You can fix this inconsistency with: 348 | 349 | :nnoremap Y y$ 350 | 351 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 352 | Lesson 8 SUMMARY 353 | 354 | To move a half page down press: 355 | To move a half page up press: 356 | 357 | To delete the character to the left of the cursor: X 358 | To insert text at the beginning of the line: I 359 | To change from the cursor to the end of the line: C 360 | To change (substitute) the whole line: S 361 | To delete one character and enter insert mode: s 362 | 363 | To move forward a word or WORD: w W 364 | To move backward a word or WORD: b B 365 | To move to the end of a word or WORD: e E 366 | 367 | To move by sentence: ( ) 368 | To move by paragraph: { } 369 | To delete, change or yank a paragraph: dap cap yap 370 | To delete, change or yank a sentence: das cas yas 371 | 372 | To remove the magic meaning from characters in search, use: \ 373 | To turn off all magic in search, add a \V to the beginning, e.g. 374 | /\Vsafe*to[search] 375 | The following characters have magic meaning in search by default: 376 | ^ $ . * [ / \ ~ 377 | 378 | In visual mode, to move the other end of the selection: o 379 | To select whole lines visually: V 380 | To select a block of text: 381 | To get your visual selection back after losing it: gv 382 | 383 | To yank (copy) a whole line: yy Y 384 | 385 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 386 | Lesson 9.1: SEARCH TRICKS 387 | 388 | 1. If you're brave, search for the URL below, marked --->, by typing: 389 | /http:\/\/192\.168\.0\.11\/\~bs\/page\.html?lang=en_us 390 | 391 | NOTE: That is AWFULLY hard to type. It's hard to remember which characters 392 | are magic. Forward slashes cannot even be made non-magic with \V. 393 | 394 | 2. Try this search instead: 395 | /http:..192.168.0.11..bs.page.html?lang=en_us 396 | 397 | ---> http://192.168.0.11/~bs/page.html?lang=en_us 398 | 399 | NOTE: Technically, that could match something you're not interested in, but it 400 | is unlikely. If you're not too picky, just use . to match any character 401 | where it makes things easier. 402 | 403 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 404 | Lesson 9.2: THE BENEFIT OF THE MAGIC CHARACTERS 405 | 406 | 1. Think about how you would search for all HTTP URLs that end with '.htm' 407 | What other tools might you use? 408 | 409 | 2. Turn on highlighting by typing :set hlsearch 410 | 411 | 3. Search the text below marked ---> by typing: 412 | /http:\S*\.htm\> 413 | 414 | ---> This url is bad http://example.net/some/path.txt but this next one is 415 | ---> good http://example.net/some/path.htm, as it starts with 416 | ---> http: and ends with .htm <--- however, that doesn't match because there 417 | ---> are http://spaces.local/in/it.html ... http://secure.local/urls.htm 418 | ---> should https://not.match.example.org/the/pattern.htm nor 419 | ---> should this http://wrong.local/extension.xhtm 420 | 421 | 4. Make sure your search found exactly two URLs in the above text. If not, 422 | fix your typos and try again. You can use the up arrow to recall your 423 | last search. 424 | 425 | Let's examine the parts of the search pattern to understand it: 426 | 427 | http: This part is literal. It matches 'http:' literally. 428 | \S Magically matches any one non-whitespace character. 429 | * The star means the previous character can appear zero or 430 | more times. That is, zero or more non-whitespace characters. 431 | \. Matches a literal dot. Without the slash it would match 432 | any single character. 433 | htm Matches 'htm' literally. 434 | \> Magically matches the end-of-a-word. 435 | 436 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 437 | Lesson 9 SUMMARY 438 | 439 | {{TODO}} 440 | 441 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 442 | Lesson 10.1: KEY MAPPINGS 443 | 444 | 1. Type this, literally, including the angle brackets, then press enter: 445 | 446 | :nmap ^y$:" 447 | 448 | What it means: 449 | :nmap is a command that remaps a key or keys, in normal mode, 450 | is the key to remap, it could also be a sequence of keys, 451 | The rest of the line is the sequence of key presses that will 452 | result from pressing : 453 | ^ goes to the beginning of the line, 454 | y$ yanks to the end of the line, not including the line break, 455 | : is just like the one in :nmap -- it is the start of a command, 456 | is control-R, which fetches the contents of a register, 457 | " is the name of the register that contains the most recently 458 | yanked text, 459 | means Carriage Return; it completes the command. 460 | 461 | What it does: 462 | It copies the current line into command mode and executes it. 463 | 464 | 2. Now you can run lines from this file as commands, just by pressing . 465 | 466 | Try it now. Move the cursor to the line below, and press : 467 | 468 | :nmap ddp 469 | 470 | 3. Now if you hold Control, and press the down arrow, the line will move 471 | down. Use it to fix the lines below: 472 | 473 | ---> d) Can you learn too? 474 | ---> c) Intelligence is learned, 475 | ---> a) Roses are red, 476 | ---> b) Violets are blue, 477 | 478 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 479 | 480 | Addtl topics: 481 | f t F T Find, till 482 | ; , Find, till again 483 | J Join lines 484 | * # Search word under cursor 485 | >> << Indent, deindent 486 | caw diW ci" da( dit Text objects 487 | 0 Insert mode indent, deindent, wipe indent 488 | = Auto format 489 | :set spell Spell checking 490 | :set spelllang=en_us in .vimrc 491 | "xd "xp Registers 492 | @x Macro playback 493 | q Macro recording 494 | ~ Flip case 495 | g~ Flip case with movement 496 | gu gU To lower, to upper 497 | u U In visual mode 498 | m ' ` Marks 499 | / :s// Re-search, re-substitute 500 | 501 | Repetition commands: 502 | . @@ ; , n N 503 | 504 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 505 | 506 | This concludes the VIM Tutor Extended. 507 | 508 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
