Keyboard Shortcuts
! If keys JKLMH have been remapped to HJKLM, shortcut below must be changed accordingly !
| Shortcut | Description | Custom |
|---|---|---|
| Ctrl+[ | Same effect as Esc, but a bit faster/easier to type. Also works on AZERTY keyboard (but apparently not for AndLinux, snif!) | |
| * | Search next occurence of word under cursor (Here more like this...) | |
| # | Search previous occurence of word under cursor | |
| gd | Search first occurence of current search |
Some Stuff to Add in ~/vimrc file
(remarks: command in ~/vimrc file must not be prefixed with a colon :)
- To enable syntax highlighting + numbering:
syntax enable set bg=light #Use set bg=dark if console background color is dark set number
- To remap movement key bindings to JKLM (instead of HJKL, so that they are right under right hand fingers on AZERTY keyboards). Commands on key 'M' are now on key 'H'.
