Introduction

Activate Vi Mode (Normal Mode) by double-tapping the Esc key. Deactivate Vi Mode by pressing Esc key again.

Simple navigations (hjkl, wb) can be acheived using a Space + key combo.

Commands

regular movements

• hjkl: cursor movements

• w: move to next word

• b: move to previous word

• 0: go to beginning of line

• -: go to end of line (this is just how I use it personally in VIM)

• $: go to end of line (for general compatibility... :D)

editting commands

• y: Copy

• d: Cut

• p: Paste

• u: undo (Ctrl+z)

• /: Search (Ctrl+f)

... and more to come! ;)
