# vim / neovim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the commands I mention in this file are the ones I use the most often and are by no means exhaustive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For some vim commands, I use a `<leader>` keybinding as an alternative since I find it faster. Some of those commands may not be mentioned in this helpfile. Please see `.vimrc` for more details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Starting vim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Open a file at a particular line number: `vim +<number> <file>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Movement Keys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Inserting Things
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Insert before the cursor: `i`
|
||
|
|
- Insert at the beginning of the line: `I`
|
||
|
|
- Insert after the cursor: `a`
|
||
|
|
- Insert at the end of the line: `A`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Indenting Things
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Indent the current line: `>>`
|
||
|
|
- Indent the next 10 lines: `10>>`
|
||
|
|
- Unindent the current line: `<<`
|
||
|
|
- Unindent the next 10 lines: `10<<`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that all other vim movements work while indenting things as well.

## Commands
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Syntax Highlighting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Change the syntax highlighting of the current file: `:set syntax=<syntax>`
|
||
|
|
- Get the syntax of the current file: `:set syntax?`
|
||
|
|
- Note that to get the value of any variable, just add `?` to it.
|
||
|
|
- It is possible to manually change the syntax of a file, although you shouldn't do this since plugins and other features you may have will not be loaded.
