Crepe

The following list contains some of the useful and my favorites vim commands I’ve come across. The list is in no particular order and I’ll update it as I come across awesome ones.

1. Search and Replace

Crepe

%s/Pikachu/Pikachu and Bulbasaur/gc

This is a very powerful command if you want to replace a single occurrence or all.

This first Pikachu is the search term, followed by Pikachu and Bulbasaur which is the term to be replaced.

Crepe

Hit Enter, and you will be given a few options:

  • y - yes, to replace currently highlighted text.
  • n - no, not to replace currently highlighted text.
  • a - all, to apply changes to all the terms.
  • q - quits, without changing anything.
  • l - do the last change, then exit.
