Comment on Vim Cheat Sheet - For Programmers By Programmersparent

Comments

I prefer to think of the commands being organized conceptually, not by location. Something like this: http://fprintf.net/vimCheatSheet.html

So, if you are just starting out, learn the basic command(s) for doing each thing. Then, as you do it over and over, you'll begin to wonder how to do it easier. That's where the more advanced commands come in.

I do have printed cheat sheets that I occasionally will look at and say "oh, cool, that looks really convenient." But I'm not aiming for total mastery- just efficient use.

Absolutely. My question is always "How do I ____, again?" The most hellpful cheatsheets are the ones that showcase alias commands, alternative commands, and related commands.

Thanks for the link.
