I use VIM in my daily life. It’s a text editor, or my case, a Visual Studio Code extension that approximates VIM editing shortcut keys.
VIM stands for Vi IMproved, which Vi is the text editor found in Unix (linux) environments. The power of VIM is simple, it allows you to generate and edit text in a more efficient.
The shortcuts I like the most are:
dw = delete the current word
dd = delete the whole line
H or M or L = navigate your cursor to top, middle, end of your screen
W = moves your cursor forward by words
V = highlights the whole line
and you can jump to direct line numbers as well.
Theres a whole lot more! What are you favorites shortcuts on VIM? Do you use VIM?
