neovim #

probably applies to vim as well but idk.

improve the usability of a default no config (n)vim instantly with this oneliner:

:set number | :colorscheme desert | :set mouse=a

• enables line numbering
• sets an ok (default!) colorscheme
• enables the mouse, scrolling and other things

windows #

• ctrl s spawn window with same file
• ctrl q close window
• ctrl v split vertical (same as s, but vertical)

copy stuff #

• copy word under cursor: yaw

other cmds #

• r replace
• O new line above
• o new line below
• I insert at beginning
• A append
• d delete
• x del char
• diX delete inner X
• V select line
• n next match
• N previous match
• J join lines
• 0 cursor to start
• $ cursor to end
• dw delete word
• d$ del till end of line
• U undo all for current line
• P paste in line above

etc #

nautilus or thunar: open file in neovim with double click #

symlink xterm to your terminal emulator, i.e. for kitty sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/kitty /usr/local/bin/xterm, because somehow somewhere xterm is the hardcoded default.

open urls #

because neovim uses netrw it can open urls: nvim "http://example.com/" (wgets the html to /tmp and opens it)
