Useful tips for vim

3 minute read

In vim, you can use more powerful functions than vi. It’s easy to specify a region for copying and divide windows. It is convenient to use comparative utilities such as vimdiff. You can also use powerful features while adjusting various options in vimrc.

    :vsp . (:vsplit)
    Ctrl+W+W : move window
Move file
