7. Vim Editing

Now that we have a couple of lines written, let's edit it a bit more and remove some cruft.


  • x - used to cut the selected text also used for deleting characters

  • dd - used to delete the current line

  • y - yank or copy whatever is selected

  • yy - yank or copy the current line

  • p - paste the copied text before the cursor

Exercises

I know this lesson added some oddballs, open up a text editor and play around with these.
