Vim Snippets

Jump to line start

  • I ("Insert", editing mode)

Jump to line end

  • $ (non-editing mode)
  • A ("Append", editing mode)

Indent multiple lines

Use the > command. To indent 5 lines, 5>>. To mark a block of lines and indent it, Vjj> to indent 3 lines (vim only). To indent a curly-braces block, put your cursor on one of the curly braces and use >%.

If you’re copying blocks of text around and need to align the indent of a block in its new location, use ]p instead of just p. This aligns the pasted block with the surrounding text.

Also, the shiftwidth setting allows you to control how many spaces to indent.
