Advanced Motions
We have already covered some of the horizontal and vertical motions, I
/A
and <count>j
/k
are great examples of fast motions. But if that is all we
had, VIM would just be lacking in luster.
Quick Recap
Motion: A command that moves the cursor.
-
modified with a count
- 5j instead of jjjjj
-
modify an "action" with a movement
- 5dd and d4j are "equivalent"
There are more motions!
- G and gg bottom or top respectively
- do you think you can dG?
lets do an exercise and go over some advanced motions!
