Some little bash/readline style cmdline shortcuts for vim.
| Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|
| Ctrl-a | Jump to start of line |
| Ctrl-e | Jump to end of line |
| Ctrl-k | Delete everything from cursor to end of line |
| Ctrl-p | Cycle up through command history |
| Ctrl-n | Cycle down through command history |
| Ctrl-b | Move one character left |
| Ctrl-f | Move one character right |
| Alt-b | Move one word left |
| Alt-f | Move one word right |
| Alt-d | Delete word after cursor |
| Alt-BkSpace | Rubout word |
| Ctrl-w | Rubout word [or space-delimited word, optionally] |
| Ctrl-u | Delete everything from cursor to start of line |
| Ctrl-d | Delete character |
| Alt-=, Alt-? | Display command completion options |
| Alt-l | Make next word lowercase |
| Alt-u | Make next word UPPERCASE |
| Alt-c | Make next word Capitalized |
| Ctrl-y | "Yank" (put/paste) most recently deleted word |
| Ctrl-t | Transpose characters |
| Alt-t | Transpose words |
Once installed, the variable g:reedline_space_delimited_C_w may be set to a
nonzero value to force Ctrl-w to behave like it normally
does in bash (i.e. rubout the word up to the previous space). Otherwise it will
act identically to Alt-BkSpace - as it does by default in
zsh, for instance.
You can set g:reedline_max_yank_time to decide how many seconds can pass
between two delete operations before they are considered separate operations
for purposes of the yank feature (Ctrl-y). If two
operations happen more quickly than that, the deleted text will be combined
when yanked as if it was erased in a single operation. By default, this value
is 1 second.
Setting g:reedline_max_yank_time to 0 will return to the previous behavior
where no operations are combined & the yank register never contains more than
the latest discrete deletion.
