我希望我能早点知道基本的视觉块模式。即使你不使用Vim做其他的事情，在Vim中打开一个文件仅仅是为了一些块操作也可以节省大量的时间。我很确定我在手动做这种事情上浪费了大量的时间。

我发现一些特别有用的例子，比如始终如一地重构符号常量名列表:

进入可视块模式(我在Windows上用Ctrl + Q代替Ctrl + V)

移动光标以突出显示所需的块。

然后，我无论文本和按Esc有文本插入前面的块上的每一行。

使用A而不是I将文本插入到每行的块之后。

此外，简单地用~切换视觉选择的大小写可以节省大量时间。

还有简单地删除列，当然是用d。

:shell从Vim启动shell控制台。例如，当您想在不退出Vim的情况下测试一个脚本时，它很有用。当你完成shell控制台时，只需点击^d，然后你回到Vim和你编辑的文件。

set confirm允许你优雅地用:q退出Vim。您不需要使用ZZ或其他盲目保存或丢弃所有更改的笨拙机制。

vimcryption

vim -x文件。txt

您将被要求输入密码，编辑并保存。现在，无论何时在vi中再次打开该文件，都必须输入密码才能查看。

^r^w以命令模式将单词粘贴到光标下。

它在使用grep或replace命令时非常有用。

我为我的一个朋友创建了我最常用的命令的参考:

select                                   v
select row(s)                            SHIFT + v

close all other split screens            :only

*  - As with other commands in vi, you can playback a macro any number of times.
     The following command would playback the macro assigned to the key `w' 100
     times: 100@w

** - Vim uses words that exist in your current buffer and any other buffer you may have open for auto-complete suggestions.
