Vim is the best editor for programmers and as such it has some neat “programmer commands”, which make editing source code a lot easier. Take for example a block with code, or a function definition: how many times did you have to copy the code between parenthesis from one place to the other? |
-
int foo(int bar, int baz)
You could do ’0f(df)’ to delete “int bar, int baz” but that won’t do if the definition is more complicated than that. ‘dib’ is a better choice to delete the text.
(ACTION)i{b|B} applies ACTION to a block, for example, pressing diB in
-
void foo() _ {
-
/* Lots of source code */
-
}
(with the cursor placed at _) will delete lots of source code.
