To resize your buffer up and down type the following:
<ctrl-w>- (that's minus) <ctrl-w>+
To resize your buffer left and right, type the following:
<ctrl-w>< (that's a less than aligator symbol ;p ) <ctrl-w>>
You could make a mapping to do these without pressing the ctrl-w key combo first.
Something like this for the vertical stuff:
map + <c-w>+ map - <c-w>-
You have to put that in your .vimrc file.
Go to the first line and type the following:
^ to go to the beginning line. (probably want the top too)
Ctrl + Alt + V (to enter block highlight mode)
#j (where # is the number of lines to be commented out) Or just move the cursor manually.
I (capital i)
//
Press the esc key.
They should all be commented out now, with c++ style comments.
Last blog post, I mentioned you could clean up and reformat a file by using :retab.
This doesn’t remove unnecessary trailing whitespace though. To remove trailing whitespace, use the following:
:%s/\s\+$//
Make sure, in your .gvimrc file, that the following are set to your liking:
set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 set softtabstop=4 set expandtab
Then type the following within vim:
:set expandtab :retab
retrieves a yanked/deleted entry before the last yanked/deleted entry
"0p - used to paste after yanking "1p - used to paste after deleting "2p - used to paste after deleting (2nd from last)
Ex: yank/delete something, then yank/delete something else. Then type “0p or “1p
Count the number of words in the file of <word>

[I (capital i) - Shows the lines containing the word under the cursor ga - displays the ascii, hex, and octal value of the character under the cursor g<CTRL-G> - to see technical info about the file you are in CTRL-i & Ctrl-o : trace movements forward & backwards in the file
