Tip: #1387 - Standard editing shotcuts

Created: November 14, 2006 14:34 Complexity: basic Author: Lrkwz Version: 5.7 Karma: -6/18 Imported from: Tip#1387

Having replaced notepad with gvim, these are my preferred editing shortcuts: 

" Copy to 'clipboard registry' 
vmap <C-C> "*y 

" Search selected text 
vmap / y/<C-R>"<CR> 

" Select all text 
nmap <C-A> 1G^vG$

straightforward 

vmap / y/<C-R>"<CR>

would face problems with special symbols.

Another mapping I saw elsewhere may help with that 

vmap // y/<C-R>=substitute(escape(@", '\\/.*$^~[]'), "\n", "\\\\n", "g")<CR>

Have you seen vim70/mswin.vim, it comes with Vim 7.0 (and prior versions). It sets up a bunch of behavior that makes Vim work nice with Windows. Just source it in your vimrc. It's worth reading through for some ideas if you don't want to use the entire thing. 

" Search selected text 
"vmap / y/<C-R>"<CR> 
" [http://vimplugin.sf.net/cgi-bin/help?tag={{urlencode:#}} :help #], :help * 

" Select all text 
"nmap <C-A> 1G^vG$ 
nmap <C-A> ggVG

AFAIK, '*' and '#' only work with keyword under/after cursor, not with selected text...

'*' and '#' can easily be configured to grab the current visual selection.

It's very convenient.
