We’ll see together in this article:
- Some nice keystrokes beginning with
g.- What ranges are and how to use them.
- The quickfix list and the location lists.
- The marvelous substitute command.
- The crazy useful
:global(or:g) command.- What marks are and what you can do with them.
- How to increase and decrease numbers with a single keystroke.
- How to sort text with a nice command.
