我不得不说，我最喜欢的一个方法是把帮助窗口放在一个新标签中:

:tab help <help_topic>

这将在一个新标签中打开帮助，作为一个喜欢Vim标签的人，这是非常有用的。

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
select blocks (columns)                  CTRL  + v
indent selected text                     >
unindent selected text                   <
list buffers                             :ls
open buffer                              :bN (N = buffer number)
print                                    :hardcopy
open a file                              :e /path/to/file.txt
                                         :e C:\Path\To\File.txt
sort selected rows                       :sort
search for word under cursor             *
open file under cursor                   gf
  (absolute path or relative)
format selected code                     =
select contents of entire file           ggVG
convert selected text to uppercase       U
convert selected text to lowercase       u
invert case of selected text             ~
convert tabs to spaces                   :retab
start recording a macro                  qX (X = key to assign macro to)
stop recording a macro                   q
playback macro                           @X (X = key macro was assigned to)
replay previously played macro *         @@
auto-complete a word you are typing **   CTRL + n
bookmark current place in file           mX (X = key to assign bookmark to)
jump to bookmark                         `X (X = key bookmark was assigned to
                                             ` = back tick/tilde key)
show all bookmarks                       :marks
delete a bookmark                        :delm X (X = key bookmark to delete)
delete all bookmarks                     :delm!
split screen horizontally                :split
split screen vertically                  :vsplit
navigating split screens                 CTRL + w + j = move down a screen
                                         CTRL + w + k = move up a screen
                                         CTRL + w + h = move left a screen
                                         CTRL + w + l = move right a screen
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.

我最近学到的令人惊叹的技巧是一种进行复杂搜索和替换的方法。在过去，我经常有一个非常复杂的regexp来进行替换，但它不起作用。有一个更好的方法:

:set incsearch             " I have this in .vimrc
/my complicated regexp     " Highlighted as you enter characters
:%s//replace with this/    " You don't have to type it again

这里的“技巧”(找不到更好的词)是使用搜索来创建regexp(在输入字符时'incsearch'突出显示它)，然后在替换中使用空模式:空模式默认为最后一个搜索模式。

例子:

/blue\(\d\+\)
:%s//red\1/

等价于:

:%s/blue\(\d\+\)/red\1/

See:

:help 'incsearch'
:help :substitute

Gv启动可视模式并自动选择您之前选择的内容。

我知道这并不完全是Vim。但是我发现cscope集成真的很好，它在侵入Linux内核时帮助了我很多。

按Ctrl + \， g到达函数的定义 Ctrl + \， s查找函数、宏或变量的所有用法。

Qx将开始记录击键。你几乎可以做任何编辑任务，Vim都记得。当你完成时再次点击q，然后按@x来重放你的击键。这对于过于复杂而无法编写映射的重复编辑非常有用。可以使用x以外的字符进行多次记录。
