Five Fast Vim Tips

0. You will be faster in 2 weeks

• http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/13164810557/the-vim-learning-curve-is-a-myth
• vimtutor (30 min)
• reduce distance from brain to cpu
• fingers on home keys (down with the mouse!)
• create "flow"

1. Move to a file fast

• :R(model | controller | view | migration | helper | observer...)
• Create splits by appending S or V
• Go to File
• Uses Tim Pope's rails.vim plugin

2. Bounce around fast

• C-o to bounce back one jump
• / to find, n to keep finding
• : jumps there

3. Tmux/Turbux/Tslime for fast tests

• Blog post

4. Move blocks fast with one command

• Vim docs

5. (fast) Change Comes From Within

• Change Inside Delimiters - type c-i-X where X is ", (, [, etc.
• Change 'Till X - type c-t-X where X is the query character
