+# Spacemacs Vim
+
+> ####TODO::Work in progress
+> Adding neat things Spacemacs adds to the vim experience here, as I learn them.  Here are a few powerful menus for vim normal state.
+
+
+## The power of g
+
+`g` in Vim normal mode brings up a menu of neat shortcuts
+
+
+[![Spacemacs Vim Normal - g menu](/images/spacemacs-vim-normal-g-menu.png)](/images/spacemacs-vim-normal-g-menu.png)
+
+I mainly use this for changing the case of letters, e.g.:
+
+`v` to select the characters I want to change
+`g` for the menu
+`u` or `U` to change to lower or upper case
+
+
+
+
+
+## `#` or `*` to navigate by words / symbols
+
+`#` or `*` enters **symbol highlight transient state** allowing you to jump between the current symbol name and any other instance in the buffer.
+
+
+[![Spacemacs Vim Normal - Symbol highlight transient state](/images/spacemacs-vim-normal-symbol-highlight-transient-state.png)](/images/spacemacs-vim-normal-symbol-highlight-transient-state.png)
+
+
+`e` to start iedit state and edit all the symbols concurrently.  This is so amazing.
+
+
+`/` will show a helm popup with all the instances of the symbol through out the project files, a quick way to search a project.
+
+
+`f` will show a helm popup with all the instances of the symbol in a specified file.
+
+`b` will show a helm popup with all the instances of the symbol through out all open buffers (global buffers, so even those in a different layer).
+
+
+## `z` for Code Folding etc.
+
+Code folding is a handy way to hide parts of you code and comments you are not currently interested in.
+
+`z` opens a menu to allow you to un/fold your code quickly.
+
+
+[![Spacemacs Zoom menu](/images/spacemacs-vim-normal-z-menu.png)](/images/spacemacs-vim-normal-z-menu.png)
+
+`SPC z .` is the code fold transient menu should you wish to un/fold code many times.
+
+See the [code folding](/navigating-code/code-folding.html) section for more details.
