/g in sed command means global in line, not in entire file. So without /g replacement will be done for the first occurrence in each line where we have matching

Did you know you can append to a named register? “xY will yank the current line into register x. “XY will append the current line to register x. This lets you build up a register to paste later. For example: you want to grab a couple lines of code from several locations and paste them into a new function, you can gather them all into that register and then do one paste when you have them assembled. Also, because a macro is just executing a register, you can edit a macro by pasting the contents of the register, modify it, then yank the new macro back into the register ready to run the modified macro. One last item: a macro can call another macro or even itself. Writing recursive macros to update thousands of lines can be quite satisfying, but is most useful if making a regex substitution is just too difficult or not quite fully repeatable.

🚨 I misspoke!! 🚨 Typically with Vim videos, I tend to do them from top-of-my-head knowledge. For some reason, I always think of the "substitute" command as "sed". "s" is substitute, not "sed" sorry for any confusion, hope you like the video!!

v + i + w + y (to copy the selected word) can be done with y + i + w (yank inside word)

Thanks moustache man, I needed this.

OMFG WTH!! I've been using vi then vim and now nvim for 30 years and I didn't a know a couple of these commands and the diff between the registers. Omg!! Thanks loads for the video @typecraft and love all the other comments from folks with good tips, vi just never stops giving

I’ve been using nvim for over a year and learned multiple things from this video. Thanks so much!

I am a beginner, I hated VIM at first and I told myself I would never touch it again. But I kept learning things little by little. Your channel helped me a lot, it has made me fall in love with VIM. I am also following your playlist to learn to make my own Neovim config. Thanks nerd!

will toggle between the current and previous buffers, you can mash it to go back and forth kinda like harpoon. Also lets you go backwards in the jump table if you wana navigate back a line or two or three etc.

Although purists will say you only need tutor, I think these style of videos are more encouraging, especially for newbies.

Great tips! With macros you can do @@ to replay last played macro. Also while recording a macro,.you can also replay that macro inifonitely until vim.encounters an error. I.e. for your example qah //start recording into h i"E", // addquotes around word, then add comma @h //.start replaying entire macro recursively, i.e. this will keep replaying the 'h' macro until error encountered. A couple more register tips. Add to init.vim or .vimrc set clipboard unnamedplus //Always yank/paste from system clipboard. One register tip: "_d //delete without overwriting default register In visual mode.ypu can do P to paste without overwriting. Here's a couple other honorable mentions. Use the global command to delete all lines containing search. :g/search/d And its inverse (delete lines not containing search) :!/search/d

Hi! I’m a content creator in the same space, and I really appreciate the quality of your videos and the work it requires to create them. This video is a great guide for beginners and showcases the power of vim editing in such an effortless way, Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the stuff about registers. Ive been heavily using vim for 3 months and hadnt come across the need for it, but i can see where it will be useful

Great video, as always! One quick note - ":s" stands for "substitute" in command mode.

Impressive (both the commands and the moustache)

Best vim learning serie in KZfaq! BTW loved your Patagonia t-shirt, cheers from Argentina

This was exactly what I was looking for! I've been using vim for the last 10 years, but ive always used the basics and what I have to use to get the job done. This is going to take me to the next level. Your videos are amazing, and I thank you for them!

Thanks, learned some new things! You can also create an autocommand to briefly highlight whatever you're yanking. Then you don't need to go into visual mode first.

Some of these are really a life saver, great video.

As in Vim/Neovim it is very important whether a letter is capital or not, it might confuse people if you display capital letters in the overlay in instances where in fact they are not capital

Just started the neovim journey this week. This was very helpful

very helpful, thanks I really like your tutorials

Great video. I have learned new things.

Long time vim user and never knew about * I always get value out of your videos. Thanks a lot!

Another great video as always

Hey man I just found your channel and I think is amazing! Thank you 💯💯

you can press '#' in order to select previous occurrence of a word, '#' the complementary of '*'.

Thanks man, I learned some new things

I used vi for 35 years now and I got quick and efficient, vi under my skin. I didn't miss anything until now I know what i could have missed :-) Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much, I learned a lot from this video.

My mind has been blow. I know vim/nvim is powerful, didn't realise just how amazing ot could be. Admittedly, i wont be able to remember all of this, but i will probably start using nvim :). Then slowly learn these as i need them

Awesome dude. I moved to NVIM for data science just by watching your content. I't been a wild ride.

Macros ftw thanks typecraft 😊

After selecting something, performing any change, you can go elsewere and press 1v to repeat the same selection pattern.

Also for macros, once you run @h (or whichever register you're using) you can just type @@ to run it agan. I usually do a ballpark guess, like 5@h, and then just hit @@ to finish the last few lines. Macros also work with search, so it is much more capable than just editing big contiguous sets of lines.

Excellent video 👍

Will love a video specially for nvim macros…..and as always Thanks Nerd!

Here is a super-duper pro tip (blazingly fast and free as GPL3) "Use Alt key with commands in INSERT mode" this is the foundation of the forgotten typing art, revive it to unleash full power of the modal text editor :)

Great video

not sure what I can learn from it but I know there will be. Liked, bookmarked for later watching! Peace out.

oh and another tip with macros that's powerful is to combine it with the norm command in visual mode. so instead of 5@a to perform the macro for the following 5 lines, I'll just make a visual selection of the lines I want to apply the macro to, hit colon then 'norm @@' to apply it on each line. similar can be done with the dot command, 'norm .' to perform the last change on every line (i remap this to g. )

You could replace selection with cgn command. If you repeat it with dot then it replaces the next occurrence..

the special clipboard register that is linked with the system clipboard is a + on windows, too.

I don't mean to be pedantic but :s stands for :substitute not sed. Also in that command the '%' sign is used to tell :substitute to work on the entire file. The /g option, instead, means operate globally on the line.

%s already targets the whole file, the /g (global) replaces every occurrence of the word, not just the first of every line Super helpful video though! Didn’t know how to use registers, thanks a lot!

Thanks nerd! You taught me a lot!

Thanks. You rock!

Linux has the + and * registers for the system. Since it has two different clipboards active at the same time usually. One is the one you use with ctrl+c/v and the other one is highlight and middle click.

Your videos are addicting. Being a big fan of motions, I often wonder why people typically use ciw to change a word rather than ce?

Should be mentioned the 0-9 registers doesn't quite work as you mentioned here. 0 will always contain the last yanked text, but 1-9 will only be populated if the text deleted is bigger than one line.

Nice video! What is this prompt you are using btw, looks gorgeous!

Great content.If there was a handy file, we could practice & learn simultaneously

Nice video, just one thing : Register copy commands ("+y") on the system clipboard will not work on some Linux system with wayland. You can reproduce this problem on a fresh install of fedora 40 . The reason ? -> no Wayland clipboard, you can fix it with your package manager in your linux distro , (Red Hat land : sudo dnf install wl-clipboard). This is pretty bad to not have that by default. It is better on any system to check clipboard support before trying to do that.

I think that :s is for substitute and not sed. Not an important detail but I think it's better to clarify so then when invoking the :help command one looks for :help substitute. Thanks for the great content!

that yellow light is causing camera to change focus. kind of distracting. BTW, awesome episode. Learnt some new things.

Thanks nerd, congrats about the new sponsor

Outstanding. I have a questions. The % register, in my mac, holds the full path and filename. How do I access just the filename and extension without the absolute path? (Been looking for it, but can't see if this is a setting or I have to look elsewhere.)

I really liked your alacritty setup... Maybe I should install and configure too. :)

Is there any way to configure vim buffer font, without setting the font of the terminal? I mean to have two different fonts for vim and the terminal that runs vim.

excellent!

Finally i know how to exit vim

Thank you, Nerd

Thanks Nerd

actually, I don't remember if is actually my own config cause I set it up a few years ago, but for me "%p paste the absolute path(plus the name)of the file I'm currently in and imoo is kinda useful if you need to paste that to variables and stuff. Great video btw

the `*` blew my mind

"I assume that you know some basic things like hjkl" Then proceeds to explain hjkl lol

Please also make a video on how to config nvim with Django

Fantastic vid! Instant click.

How to solve issue when installed packages modules are being shown in suggestion while jsx module is not suggesting .

8:43 or use %w (in this case)

You don't use relative line numbers, do you? A lot of people recommend them but TBH I don't feel comfortably with them for some reason.

hello sir , "LanguageTree:for_each_child() is deprecated, use LanguageTree:children() instead. :help deprecated Feature will be removed in Nvim 0.11" this is occurring in my neovim 0.10 . please ! can you fix it

Hi my lord. Your terminal status line style is very cool. I love catppuccin :) Could you share your config? I would really appreciate that

we are all friends in this community, much love man 💜

Don't know how to get CSS classes project wide autocompletion and HTML syntax highlighting in Twig files, I gave neovim a chance but I lost :P

9:48 Then again you forgot to `:set nu rnu` what is the use of being able to do stuff n times without rnu?

man it really feels like you are trying to channel Prime from the bottom of you toes. Thanks nerd.

I'm just wondering what's about to happen in 10m that will require I know vim so well.

Is the moustache a requirement now if you have a developer youtube channel?

thanks nerd. ill go get a brilliant subscription.

Why not just use clipboard = "unnamedplus"? 7:30

It doesn't matter when, I always laugh when I hear LEADER....

Can someone explain to me why this man has only 37k sub ?

thanks nerd!

Going into Pane mode, Ctrl+P, then hjkl moves around, ESC when done

i used vim cause no more mouse but no one talks about vertical movement

How do i exit

I am first to comment! Ha ha! Nice video!

Isn't M-x evil enough? 🤔

Ouh are you using Fedora or Arch my lord nerd?

camera focus is not good sometimes btw thanks nerd!

What was the s in %s again?? It is not the set command 😁

Video is helpful. Going in and out of focus is a bit disturbing tho.

Thanks nerd

Super video, but please turn off that autofocus or move hands less😂

Editor, add more tattoos 😈😈😈

Vim tutorials on youtube are great, except for one thing. if you want to follow along.. and try the same commands and make sure you are competent in both muscle memory and thinking speed, you need the same file to work on as the one the person is demonstrating on in the video. .

Noo I am 8 hours late.
