More Vim Tips from Codeninja

Hey all, Codeninja here. Just thought I’d make a quick post with a couple more quick vim tips for all vimers out there.

• You can use P to paste something before the current location, or after with p.
• use ^v to insert control characters in your text
• highlight a word and press # to search backwords for it
• use ^n to insert or look up keywords (vim style code completion!)
• If you run make from within vim, you can automatically jump to lines with errors
• use D to delete from the current position until the end of the line
• use df<character> to delete everything until the next occurrence of <character>
• If you want to edit a specific function, do the following: in the source directory, run ctags (e.g. ctags *.cpp for a c++ project), then run vim -t function_name
