I’ve compiled a list of essential Vim commands that I use every day. I have then given a few instructions on how to make Vim as great as it should be, because it’s painful without configuration.
Hey all, I put together a cheat sheet (okay, 5 sheets front & back) of all the default Cubase 11 keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Thought I would share in case this is a useful reference for anyone else. Preview snippet: Download links for the PDFs (or source Word documents, in case you want to. XCode cheat sheet of all shortcuts and commands. In 2016, Firaxis Games launched Civilization VI or shortly known as CIV 6 of the Civilization game series for Microsoft Windows. In the next series of years, the game has been updated in the context of support. Now, you can play it on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Mac Os, Linux, and iOS operating.

Vim is quite unpleasant out of the box. It’s an arcane experience:
:w
to save is cumbersomeIt does have a significant strength though: your fingers can stay on the main keyboard keys to do most editing actions. This is faster and more ergonomic. I find that the toughest part about VIM is guiding people towards getting the benefits of VIM without the drawbacks. Here are two ideas on how to go about this.
For all the given limitations, you’ll need to find a solution. You can either solve the issues one by one, or you can use a reference .vimrc settings file that fix most of the issues out-of-the-box.
'+y
copy a selection to the system clipboard'+p
paste from the system clipboardvim --version
and see if +clipboard
exists. If it says -clipboard
, you will not be able to copy from outside of Vim. brew install vim
. $ mv /usr/bin/vim /usr/bin/vimold
vim --version
now with +clipboard
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Vintageous
, or similar. Then check out the “custom” branch. User/Preferences.sublime-settings
) to include: 'caret_style': 'solid'
ctrl+r
in Vim means “redo”. But there is a handy Ctrl + R shortcut in Sublime Text that gives an “outline” of a file. I remapped it to alt+r by putting this in the User keymap { 'keys': ['alt+r'], 'command': 'show_overlay', 'args': {'overlay': 'goto', 'text': '@'} },
I don’t personally use these yet, but I’ve heard other people do!
