nvim

Neovim, a programmer's text editor based on Vim, provides several modes for different kinds of text manipulation.

Pressing `i` enters edit mode. `<Esc>` goes back to normal mode, which doesn't allow regular text insertion.

More information.

• Open a file:

nvim {file}

• Enter text editing mode (insert mode):

<Esc>i

• Copy ("yank") or cut ("delete") the current line (paste it with `P`):

<Esc>{yy|dd}

• Undo the last operation:

<Esc>u

• Search for a pattern in the file (press `n`/`N` to go to next/previous match):

<Esc>/{search_pattern}<Enter>

• Perform a regular expression substitution in the whole file:

<Esc>:%s/{regular_expression}/{replacement}/g<Enter>

• Save (write) the file, and quit:

<Esc>:wq<Enter>

• Quit without saving:

<Esc>:q!<Enter>
