    I keep thinking that as I use vim, I’ll feel the need to learn more commands, but I hardly do anything except:

    • q, wq, or q!, quit with or without saving
    • i, insert
    • set:paste, preserves spacing
    • Shift-insert, pastes if shift-ctrl-v doesn’t work
    • / , search for a string (iirc, don’t really need it much).

    What are your vim GOTOs?

      My most used commands are also just the classics

      cw - delete the next word amd enter insert mode

      dd - delete line

      gg - go to first line

      G - go to last line

      :s/searchphrase/replacephrase - search and replace

      And a couple of visual mode commands do cut and paste blocks or comment out blocks of code

        To build on cw:

        ciw works when the cursor is anywhere in the word

        ci( to delete everything between brackets and enter insert mode. Also ci" ciW or whatever
