Hi all,

thanks for all the tips and comments. I didn’t expect so many visitors! Now I have to worry about my bandwidth quota .

@lovevim I think you can just escape the slash with a backslash. Another thing I would like to say to anybody who is going to comment is that I have to manually approve comments. So it can take a while, but of course that doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate your feedback – quite the opposite.

Ivan

Thanks for the great article – it’s helped me consider using VIM for more than just editing a config file! =)

QUESTION: how would I search for a string that has / in it? eg car/boat

Thanks!

Hi,

Visual Studio can navigation on compilation errors. It’s actually much more than a text editor so the text editing functionality in it is only what is needed for development.

I’ve mapped F3 to toggle hlsearch in my .vimrc:

map :set hls!

One thing you’ll find with vim is that you end up tweaking your vimrc a lot. After eight
years of using vim, you end up with a big collection of mappings and settings.

Hey Ivan,

Congrats on the nice article. I’m the author of the graphical cheat sheet you write about above. Thanks for linking to it. I’d prefer if you linked to the containing page, rather than directly to the GIF, as there is much more material (as a graphical tutorial, links to other articles, etc…) and for the extra context. In any case, here is the full link:
