I have started using NeoVim for the past few months and I am loving it - I won’t go here over the details, but suffice to say it’s a great editor. My Vim-fu though isn’t that great yet, and while I’m still learning, I’ll post #quickbits with useful stuff that I want to remember for later. The first one that I have found which I find it helps a lot is the f and t repeat shortcut: pressing ; will repeat the last f or t motion.

Just found out from this short video by Web Dev with Matt that you can edit your current command in your editor easily by hitting Ctrl + X followed by Ctrl + E. For example, let’s say that my shell looks like this: $ ps -ef | grep 'sleep' | grep -v grep | awk ' {print $2}' | xargs kill -9 Editing that sleep there would take quite a few more keystrokes in the shell than in your editor.
