Answer by Jim Dennis on Stack Overflow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118

Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

You mention cutting with yy and complain that you almost never want to cut whole lines. In fact programmers, editing source code, very often want to work on whole lines, ranges of lines and blocks of code. However, yy is only one of many way to yank text into the anonymous copy buffer (or "register" as it's called in vi).

The "Zen" of vi is that you're speaking a language. The initial y is a verb. The statement yy is a simple statement which is, essentially, an abbreviation for 0 y$:

0 go to the beginning of this line. y yank from here (up to where?)

Testing the matrix.org client-server API

Matrix is:

an open standard for decentralised communication, providing simple HTTP APIs and open source reference implementations for securely distributing and persisting JSON over an open federation of servers.

It's pretty fantastic, if you think on the massive problem of fragmentation all across the web. They've created an easy to use API, and you can do a kludgy test using curl from the terminal (*nix, mac, win). See: http://matrix.org/docs/howtos/client-server.html

It's pretty straightforward to do a quick test. I have an account at https://matrix.org / https://vector.im, so I used that to get a token.

	" Keeping your lovely 'vimrc' INSIDE of your 'vim' directory is a good idea,

	" If you use both 7.4 and an older version, or only an older version,
