vim mappings – easy way to do things.

2014-01-22 1 min read Vim Tips

You can use vim mappings to make some of your editor tasks very simple. Here I am giving you just a example, but you could always let your imagination run wild.

:nmap ,b Oj0c$**hP

And what do we do here.

O – Add a new line

– Go to normal mode

j – go to newly added line

0 – Go to begining of line

c$ – Change till end of line

**** – Enter  four stars

h – go back one character.

P –  Paste the last deleted line, which is what we deleted with c$.

This is just to show you how powerful, mappings can be. So, GO WILD with imagination.
