Vim Tips (and other Stuff)

I apologise for not posting here in a few days, but publicising the Tel Aviv Linux club meetings, and working on this year's Perl Advent Calendar is relatively time-consuming. But now happy that I finished two articles for the calendar, I can blog a little about other stuff, like Vim Tips.

So here are two Vim tips I've found:

  1. When using the visual mode, one can use the o to move to the other end of the selection and modify it. Read more about it in the link.
  2. If you are in insert mode and your line is indented (say after pressing o on an indented line) but wish to start writing from the beginning of the line, you can press Ctrl+W to delete the leading whitespace and start typing at the beginning of the line.

That put aside the last Tel Aviv Linux Club meeting was very successful - many people came, Gilad gave a good presentation about Development Tools for Linux, and four of us went to the café afterwards. And here's some publicity for the next presentation in the series. (Ignore the title of the page and message - they're a leftover from the previous announcement).

Have a lot of fun!
