Replacing surrounding character using vim-surround

If you have the vim-surround plugin installed:

  • To replace surrounding symbols cs"' (will replace surrounding double quotes by single)
  • To delete surrounding delimiters ds( (Will remove surrounding parentheses)

Brackets

  • b is a text object for a bracket so you can do things like dab to delete around parenthesis instead of da(, dib to delete inside, cib to change inside and so on ...

Insert Mode

  • I moves to the start of the line and enters insert mode
  • A moves to the end of the line and enters insert mode
  • x deletes a single character
  • s deletes a single character and goe into insert mode
  • c is like d but enters insert mode after it deletes the selection

Navigation

  • {count} + moves count lines down to the beggining of the line

  • {count} - moves count lines up to the beggining of the line

  • gd go to local declaration

  • * search forward for word under the cursor

  • # search backward for word under the cursor

  • f searchs forward in a line

  • F searchs backwards in a line

  • ; move forwards to next search result in the line

  • , move backwards to next search result in the line

  • :<line number> moves you to a specific line number (same as <line number>G)

  • } moves to the next blank line

  • { moves to the previous blank line

  • Ctrl + u moves half screen up

  • Ctrl + d moves half screen down

  • % goes to matching bracket or parenthesis

  • To move through the Jumplist (each position to which your cursor jumped):

    • ctrl-o to move backwards
    • ctrl-i to move forwards

  • To move through Changelist (the position for every change you can undo):

    • g; to move backwards
    • g, to move forwards

Marks

  • m{a-zA-Z} sets a custom mark whose exact location can be accessed using `{mark}
  • Certains marks are special `. jumps to the last change

Tips

  • :windo difft will show the diff between two windows
  • :e! discards edits since last save and reloads the file

Splits

To move between splits:

  • ctrl-w j moves to the top split
  • ctrl-w h moves to the left split
  • ctrl-w k moves to the bottom split
  • ctrl-w l moves to the right split

Once you have split your screen, how can you rearrange your splits? It’s easy with ctrl-w:

  • ctrl-w J moves the active to the top
  • ctrl-w H moves the active split to the left
  • ctrl-w K moves the active split to the bottom
  • ctrl-w L moves the active split to right
