 +==== vi cheat-sheet ====
 +
 +<code text>
 +a. cursor movements (items below are sometimes called objects):
 +        h - left one character
 +        l - right one character
 +        j - down one line
 +        k - up one line
 +        w - right one word
 +        b - back one word
 +        $ - to the end of line
 +        0 - to the beginning of the line
 +        ) - right one sentence
 +        ( - left one sentence
 +        } - right one paragraph
 +        { - left one paragraph
 +        Ctrl-F - forward one page
 +        Ctrl-B - back one page
 +        G - go to (without arguments, go to end of file)
 +b. deleting:
 +        d - delete
 +                then add one of the cursor movement symbols to
 +                show what should be deleted, i.e.:
 +                d$ - delete to end of line
 +                d0 - delete to the beginning of the line
 +                d} - delete to the end of paragraph
 +        dd - delete delete (delete the whole line)
 +        x - delete character cursor is on
 +c. other basic commands:
 +        r - replace one character
 +        ZZ - save and exit (hold down shift and press "z" twice)
 +        y - yank (copy into temporary buffer)
 +                then add cursor movement symbol to show what should be
 +                copied, for example: y) - copy to the end of sentence
 +        Y - yank line cursor is on
 +        p - paste below cursor line (deleted or copied text)
 +        P - paste above cursor line
 +        u - undo last editing command
 +        /sometext - search for "sometext"
 +d. any command can take numeric argument before the name of "object", i.e.:
 +        5dd - delete 5 lines beginning with cursor line (or) d5d - same
 +        2dw - delete two words (or) d2w - delete two words
 +        c3w - change 3 words
 +        3Ctrl-B - move up three pages
 +        1G - go to the first line
 +e. external commands can be performed on the selected text (in lines)
 +   if command is started with "!", i.e.:
 +        !}fmt - reformat paragraph to 72 columns
 +f. command line (sometimes called "ex mode"):
 +        :
 +g. from the command line a "set" command can be executed to 
 +   customize editing environment, i.e.:
 +        :set all - will show the state of all options
 +        :set number - will show on the screen numbers of all lines
 +        :set autoindent   // obvious
 +h. from the command line operations can be performed on the range of lines,
 +   i.e.:
 +        :18,24 del - delete from line 18 to line 24
 +        :23,48 copy 17 - block from line 23 to 48 copy to line 17
 +        :2,17 move 92 - block from line 2 to 17 move to line 92
 +i. from the command line any external UNIX command can be performed on 
 +   the range of lines if line range is superseded by "!":
 +        :11,16! sed -e "s/^/\/\*/" -e "s/$/\*\//"
 +                (the command above wraps the block of text with
 +                 "C" style comments - /* text */.  It can be done
 +                  easier, but this is an example)
 +        :14,19! sort -r +3
 +                (sort the table in reverse order by fourth column)
 +j. file manipulation from the command line:
 +        :r somefile - read in "somefile"
 +        :x - save and exit (if file is "Read Only", this command will
 +                exit without saving)
 +        :wq - write and quit (same as above)
 +        :w - write (save) if the file permissions allow it
 +        :w! - save file even if it is read-only as long as we own it
 +        :w somefile - save this file as "somefile"
 +        :q - quit without saving
 +        :q! - quit without saving if changes were made
 +k. text input commands (all require "Esc" to terminate):
 +        i - insert text before the character cursor is on
 +        I - insert text at the beginning of the line
 +        a - append (insert text after the character cursor is on)
 +        A - append text to the end of the line
 +        c - change (replace previous text with new one)
 +                takes arguments just like the delete command - it is
 +                a fast and powerful way of changing original text -
 +                much more so than typical "overwrite"
 +        R - start overwriting text
 +        o - start entering text at the beginning of the new line
 +            below the cursor
 +        O - start entering text at the beginning of the new line
 +            above the cursor
 +l. if in doubt, press "Esc"

 +
 +set nocompatible 
 +"       This setting prevents vim from emulating the original vi's bugs and limitations.
 +
 +set autoindent
 +set smartindent 
 +"       The first setting tells vim to use "autoindent" 
 +"       (that is, use the current line's indent level to set the indent level of newlines). 
 +"       The second makes vim attempt to intelligently guess the indent level of any new line based on the previous line, 
 +"       assuming the source file is in a C-like language. Combined, they are very useful in writing well-formatted source code.
 +
 +set tabstop=4
 +set shiftwidth=4 
 +"       I prefer 4-space tabs to 8-space tabs. The first setting sets up 4-space tabs,
 +"       and the second tells vi to use 4 spaces when text is indented (auto or with the manual indent adjustmenters.)
 +
 +set showmatch 
 +"       This setting will cause the cursor to very briefly jump to a brace/parenthese/bracket's "match" 
 +"       whenever you type a closing or opening brace/parenthese/bracket. 
 +"       I've had almost no mismatched-punctuation errors since I started using this setting.
 +
 +set guioptions-=T 
 +"       I find the toolbar in the GUI version of vim (gvim) to be somewhat useless visual clutter.
 +"       This option gets rid of the toolbar.
 +
 +set vb t_vb= 
 +"       This setting prevents vi from making its annoying beeps when a command doesn't work.
 +"       Instead, it briefly flashes the screen -- much less annoying.
 +
 +set ruler 
 +"       This setting ensures that each window contains a statusline that displays the current cursor position.
 +
 +set nohls 
 +"       By default, search matches are highlighted. I find this annoying most of the time. 
 +"       This option turns off search highlighting. You can always turn it back on with :set hls.
 +
 +set incsearch 
 +"       With this nifty option, vim will search for text as you enter it. 
 +"       For instance, if you type /bob to search for bob, vi will go to the first "b" after you type the "b," 
 +"       to the first "bo" after you type the "o," and so on. 
 +"       It makes searching much faster, since if you pay attention you never have to enter 
 +"       more than the minimum number of characters to find your target location. 
 +"       Make sure that you press Enter to accept the match after vim finds the location you want.
 +
 +set virtualedit=all 
 +"       By default, vim doesn't let the cursor stray beyond the defined text. 
 +"       This setting allows the cursor to freely roam anywhere it likes in command mode. 
 +"       It feels weird at first but is quite useful.
 +
 +"       Type :help options within vim to get a complete list of options.
