ViM cheatsheet

I found this incredibly useful visual ViM cheatsheet while tracking “vim” on Twitter (Thanx to Rafiq!).

Funny thing is you get so damn used to the keystrokes that once you go back to another text editor you constantly end up putting things like /searchstr or :wq or :24, 60 w newfile.php, etc… into your source code file. Its quite funny after a while. Nope, I’ll stick with ViM, thank you.

To see the image lifesize, click it!

Another interesting discovery was this vimrc file that will apparently turn ViM into a (mainly) Ruby on Rails IDE. I have not had the time to check it out, but if RoR is your thing, it might be worthwhile to give it a shot!
