| 7 This file describes commands that delete or change text. In this context, | |
| 8 changing text means deleting the text and replacing it with other text using | |
| 9 one command. You can undo all of these commands. You can repeat the non-Ex | |
| 10 commands with the "." command. | |

| 27 1. Deleting text *deleting* *E470* | |
| 28 | |
| 29 ["x]<Del> or *<Del>* *x* *dl* | |
| 30 ["x]x Delete [count] characters under and after the cursor | |
| 31 [into register x] (not |linewise|). Does the same as | |
| 32 "dl". | |
| 33 The <Del> key does not take a [count]. Instead, it | |
| 34 deletes the last character of the count. | |
| 35 See |:fixdel| if the <Del> key does not do what you | |
| 36 want. See |'whichwrap'| for deleting a line break | |
| 37 (join lines). {Vi does not support <Del>} | |
| 38 | |
| 39 *X* *dh* | |
| 40 ["x]X Delete [count] characters before the cursor [into | |
| 41 register x] (not |linewise|). Does the same as "dh". | |
| 42 Also see |'whichwrap'|. | |
| 43 | |
| 44 *d* | |
| 45 ["x]d{motion} Delete text that {motion} moves over [into register | |
| 46 x]. See below for exceptions. | |
| 47 | |
| 48 *dd* | |
| 49 ["x]dd Delete [count] lines [into register x] |linewise|. | |
| 50 | |
| 51 *D* | |
| 52 ["x]D Delete the characters under the cursor until the end | |
| 53 of the line and [count]-1 more lines [into register | |
| 54 x]; synonym for "d$". | |
| 55 (not |linewise|) | |
| 164 | 56 When the '#' flag is in 'cpoptions' the count is |
| 57 ignored. | |
| 7 | 58 |
| 59 {Visual}["x]x or *v_x* *v_d* *v_<Del>* | |
| 60 {Visual}["x]d or | |
| 61 {Visual}["x]<Del> Delete the highlighted text [into register x] (for | |
| 62 {Visual} see |Visual-mode|). {not in Vi} | |
| 63 | |
| 64 {Visual}["x]CTRL-H or *v_CTRL-H* *v_<BS>* | |
| 65 {Visual}["x]<BS> When in Select mode: Delete the highlighted text [into | |
| 66 register x]. | |
| 67 | |
| 68 {Visual}["x]X or *v_X* *v_D* *v_b_D* | |
| 69 {Visual}["x]D Delete the highlighted lines [into register x] (for | |
| 70 {Visual} see |Visual-mode|). In Visual block mode, | |
| 71 "D" deletes the highlighted text plus all text until | |
| 72 the end of the line. {not in Vi} | |
| 73 | |
| 5220 | 74 *:d* *:de* *:del* *:delete* *:dl* *:dp* |
| 7 | 75 :[range]d[elete] [x] Delete [range] lines (default: current line) [into |
| 76 register x]. | |
| 5220 | 77 Note these weird abbreviations: |
| 78 :dl delete and list | |
| 79 :dell idem | |
| 80 :delel idem | |
| 81 :deletl idem | |
| 82 :deletel idem | |
| 83 :dp delete and print | |
| 84 :dep idem | |
| 85 :delp idem | |
| 86 :delep idem | |
| 87 :deletp idem | |
| 88 :deletep idem | |
| 7 | 89 |
| 90 :[range]d[elete] [x] {count} | |
| 91 Delete {count} lines, starting with [range] | |
| 92 (default: current line |cmdline-ranges|) [into | |
| 93 register x]. | |
| 94 | |
| 3492 | 95 These commands delete text. You can repeat them with the `.` command |
| 96 (except `:d`) and undo them. Use Visual mode to delete blocks of text. See | |
| 7 | 97 |registers| for an explanation of registers. |
| 98 | |
| 99 An exception for the d{motion} command: If the motion is not linewise, the | |
| 100 start and end of the motion are not in the same line, and there are only | |

| 132 Join [range] lines. Same as "J", except with [!] | |
| 7 | 133 the join does not insert or delete any spaces. |
| 134 If a [range] has equal start and end values, this | |
| 135 command does nothing. The default behavior is to | |
| 136 join the current line with the line below it. | |
| 137 {not in Vi: !} | |
| 168 | 138 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. |
| 7 | 139 |

| 142 current line |cmdline-ranges|). Same as "J", except | |
| 143 with [!] the join does not insert or delete any | |

| 148 These commands delete the <EOL> between lines. This has the effect of joining | |
| 3492 | 149 multiple lines into one line. You can repeat these commands (except `:j`) and |
| 7 | 150 undo them. |
| 151 | |
| 152 These commands, except "gJ", insert one space in place of the <EOL> unless | |
| 153 there is trailing white space or the next line starts with a ')'. These | |
| 154 commands, except "gJ", delete any leading white space on the next line. If | |
| 155 the 'joinspaces' option is on, these commands insert two spaces after a '.', | |
| 156 '!' or '?' (but if 'cpoptions' includes the 'j' flag, they insert two spaces | |
| 157 only after a '.'). | |
| 158 The 'B' and 'M' flags in 'formatoptions' change the behavior for inserting | |
| 159 spaces before and after a multi-byte character |fo-table|. | |

180 {not available when compiled without the |+vreplace| |
| 7 | 181 feature} |
| 182 | |
| 183 *c* | |
| 184 ["x]c{motion} Delete {motion} text [into register x] and start | |
| 185 insert. When 'cpoptions' includes the 'E' flag and | |
| 186 there is no text to delete (e.g., with "cTx" when the | |
| 187 cursor is just after an 'x'), an error occurs and | |
| 188 insert mode does not start (this is Vi compatible). | |
| 189 When 'cpoptions' does not include the 'E' flag, the | |
| 190 "c" command always starts insert mode, even if there | |
| 191 is no text to delete. | |
| 192 | |
| 193 *cc* | |
| 194 ["x]cc Delete [count] lines [into register x] and start | |
| 195 insert |linewise|. If 'autoindent' is on, preserve | |
| 196 the indent of the first line. | |
| 197 | |
| 198 *C* | |
| 199 ["x]C Delete from the cursor position to the end of the | |
| 200 line and [count]-1 more lines [into register x], and | |
| 201 start insert. Synonym for c$ (not |linewise|). | |
| 202 | |
| 203 *s* | |
| 204 ["x]s Delete [count] characters [into register x] and start | |
| 205 insert (s stands for Substitute). Synonym for "cl" | |
| 206 (not |linewise|). | |
| 207 | |
| 208 *S* | |
| 209 ["x]S Delete [count] lines [into register x] and start | |
| 210 insert. Synonym for "cc" |linewise|. | |
| 211 | |
| 212 {Visual}["x]c or *v_c* *v_s* | |
| 213 {Visual}["x]s Delete the highlighted text [into register x] and | |
| 214 start insert (for {Visual} see |Visual-mode|). {not | |
| 215 in Vi} | |
| 216 | |
| 217 *v_r* | |
| 218 {Visual}["x]r{char} Replace all selected characters by {char}. | |
| 219 | |
| 220 *v_C* | |
| 221 {Visual}["x]C Delete the highlighted lines [into register x] and | |
| 222 start insert. In Visual block mode it works | |
| 223 differently |v_b_C|. {not in Vi} | |
| 224 *v_S* | |
| 225 {Visual}["x]S Delete the highlighted lines [into register x] and | |
| 226 start insert (for {Visual} see |Visual-mode|). {not | |
| 227 in Vi} | |
| 228 *v_R* | |
| 229 {Visual}["x]R Currently just like {Visual}["x]S. In a next version | |
| 230 it might work differently. {not in Vi} | |
| 231 | |
| 232 Notes: | |
| 233 - You can end Insert and Replace mode with <Esc>. | |
| 234 - See the section "Insert and Replace mode" |mode-ins-repl| for the other | |
| 235 special characters in these modes. | |
| 236 - The effect of [count] takes place after Vim exits Insert or Replace mode. | |
| 237 - When the 'cpoptions' option contains '$' and the change is within one line, | |
| 238 Vim continues to show the text to be deleted and puts a '$' at the last | |
| 239 deleted character. | |
| 240 | |
| 241 See |registers| for an explanation of registers. | |
| 242 | |
| 243 Replace mode is just like Insert mode, except that every character you enter | |
| 244 deletes one character. If you reach the end of a line, Vim appends any | |
| 245 further characters (just like Insert mode). In Replace mode, the backspace | |
| 246 key restores the original text (if there was any). (See section "Insert and | |
| 247 Replace mode" |mode-ins-repl|). | |
| 248 | |
| 249 *cw* *cW* | |
| 1621 | 250 Special case: When the cursor is in a word, "cw" and "cW" do not include the |
| 251 white space after a word, they only change up to the end of the word. This is | |
| 252 because Vim interprets "cw" as change-word, and a word does not include the | |
| 253 following white space. | |
| 254 {Vi: "cw" when on a blank followed by other blanks changes only the first | |
| 255 blank; this is probably a bug, because "dw" deletes all the blanks; use the | |
| 256 'w' flag in 'cpoptions' to make it work like Vi anyway} | |
| 7 | 257 |
| 258 If you prefer "cw" to include the space after a word, use this mapping: > | |
| 259 :map cw dwi | |
| 1621 | 260 Or use "caw" (see |aw|). |
| 261 | |
| 7 | 262 *:c* *:ch* *:change* |
| 168 | 263 :{range}c[hange][!] Replace lines of text with some different text. |
| 7 | 264 Type a line containing only "." to stop replacing. |
| 265 Without {range}, this command changes only the current | |
| 266 line. | |
| 168 | 267 Adding [!] toggles 'autoindent' for the time this |
| 268 command is executed. | |
| 7 | 269 |
| 270 ============================================================================== | |
| 271 3. Simple changes *simple-change* | |
| 272 | |
| 273 *r* | |
| 274 r{char} Replace the character under the cursor with {char}. | |
| 275 If {char} is a <CR> or <NL>, a line break replaces the | |
| 276 character. To replace with a real <CR>, use CTRL-V | |
| 277 <CR>. CTRL-V <NL> replaces with a <Nul>. | |
| 278 {Vi: CTRL-V <CR> still replaces with a line break, | |
| 279 cannot replace something with a <CR>} | |

| 7 | 286 If you give a [count], Vim replaces [count] characters |
| 287 with [count] {char}s. When {char} is a <CR> or <NL>, | |
| 288 however, Vim inserts only one <CR>: "5r<CR>" replaces | |
| 289 five characters with a single line break. | |
| 290 When {char} is a <CR> or <NL>, Vim performs | |
| 291 autoindenting. This works just like deleting the | |
| 292 characters that are replaced and then doing | |
| 293 "i<CR><Esc>". | |
| 294 {char} can be entered as a digraph |digraph-arg|. | |
| 295 |:lmap| mappings apply to {char}. The CTRL-^ command | |
| 296 in Insert mode can be used to switch this on/off | |
| 297 |i_CTRL-^|. See |utf-8-char-arg| about using | |
| 298 composing characters when 'encoding' is Unicode. | |
| 299 | |
| 300 *gr* | |
| 301 gr{char} Replace the virtual characters under the cursor with | |
| 302 {char}. This replaces in screen space, not file | |
| 303 space. See |gR| and |Virtual-Replace-mode| for more | |
| 304 details. As with |r| a count may be given. | |
| 305 {char} can be entered like with |r|. | |

| 308 | |
| 309 *digraph-arg* | |
| 310 The argument for Normal mode commands like |r| and |t| is a single character. | |

433 '0B' are binary. |
| 36 | 434 - When 'nrformats' includes "octal", Vim considers numbers starting with a '0' |
| 39 | 435 to be octal, unless the number includes a '8' or '9'. Other numbers are |
| 436 decimal and may have a preceding minus sign. | |
| 36 | 437 If the cursor is on a number, the commands apply to that number; otherwise |
| 438 Vim uses the number to the right of the cursor. | |
| 7 | 439 - When 'nrformats' includes "hex", Vim assumes numbers starting with '0x' or |
| 440 '0X' are hexadecimal. The case of the rightmost letter in the number | |
| 441 determines the case of the resulting hexadecimal number. If there is no | |
| 442 letter in the current number, Vim uses the previously detected case. | |
| 36 | 443 - When 'nrformats' includes "alpha", Vim will change the alphabetic character |
| 444 under or after the cursor. This is useful to make lists with an alphabetic | |
| 445 index. | |

| 6884 | 450 |
| 7 | 451 For numbers with leading zeros (including all octal and hexadecimal numbers), |
| 452 Vim preserves the number of characters in the number when possible. CTRL-A on | |
| 36 | 453 "0077" results in "0100", CTRL-X on "0x100" results in "0x0ff". |
| 39 | 454 There is one exception: When a number that starts with a zero is found not to |
| 455 be octal (it contains a '8' or '9'), but 'nrformats' does include "octal", | |
| 456 leading zeros are removed to avoid that the result may be recognized as an | |
| 457 octal number. | |
| 36 | 458 |
| 459 Note that when 'nrformats' includes "octal", decimal numbers with leading | |
| 39 | 460 zeros cause mistakes, because they can be confused with octal numbers. |

| 7 | 466 The CTRL-A command is very useful in a macro. Example: Use the following |

| 99 | 470 2. qa - start recording into register 'a' |
| 7 | 471 3. Y - yank the entry |
| 472 4. p - put a copy of the entry below the first one | |
| 473 5. CTRL-A - increment the number | |
| 474 6. q - stop recording | |
| 475 7. <count>@a - repeat the yank, put and increment <count> times | |

| 507 with [range] (default current line |cmdline-ranges|). | |

| 509 | |

| 511 lines to [indent] (default 0). {not in Vi} | |

| 168 | 514 :[range]> [flags] Shift {count} [range] lines one 'shiftwidth' right. |
| 7 | 515 Repeat '>' for shifting multiple 'shiftwidth's. |
| 168 | 516 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. |
| 7 | 517 |
| 168 | 518 :[range]> {count} [flags] |
| 519 Shift {count} lines one 'shiftwidth' right, starting | |
| 7 | 520 with [range] (default current line |cmdline-ranges|). |
| 521 Repeat '>' for shifting multiple 'shiftwidth's. | |
| 168 | 522 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. |
| 7 | 523 |
| 524 The ">" and "<" commands are handy for changing the indentation within | |
| 525 programs. Use the 'shiftwidth' option to set the size of the white space | |
| 526 which these commands insert or delete. Normally the 'shiftwidth' option is 8, | |
| 527 but you can set it to, say, 3 to make smaller indents. The shift leftwards | |
| 528 stops when there is no indent. The shift right does not affect empty lines. | |
| 529 | |
| 530 If the 'shiftround' option is on, the indent is rounded to a multiple of | |
| 531 'shiftwidth'. | |
| 532 | |
| 533 If the 'smartindent' option is on, or 'cindent' is on and 'cinkeys' contains | |
| 5466 | 534 '#' with a zero value, shift right does not affect lines starting with '#' |
| 535 (these are supposed to be C preprocessor lines that must stay in column 1). | |
| 7 | 536 |
| 537 When the 'expandtab' option is off (this is the default) Vim uses <Tab>s as | |
| 538 much as possible to make the indent. You can use ">><<" to replace an indent | |
| 539 made out of spaces with the same indent made out of <Tab>s (and a few spaces | |
| 540 if necessary). If the 'expandtab' option is on, Vim uses only spaces. Then | |
| 541 you can use ">><<" to replace <Tab>s in the indent by spaces (or use | |
| 3492 | 542 `:retab!`). |
| 7 | 543 |
| 3492 | 544 To move a line several 'shiftwidth's, use Visual mode or the `:` commands. |
| 7 | 545 For example: > |
| 546 Vjj4> move three lines 4 indents to the right | |
| 547 :<<< move current line 3 indents to the left | |
| 548 :>> 5 move 5 lines 2 indents to the right | |
| 549 :5>> move line 5 2 indents to the right | |

| 856 | 554 4.1 Filter commands *filter* |
| 32 | 555 |
| 556 A filter is a program that accepts text at standard input, changes it in some | |
| 557 way, and sends it to standard output. You can use the commands below to send | |
| 1621 | 558 some text through a filter, so that it is replaced by the filter output. |
| 32 | 559 Examples of filters are "sort", which sorts lines alphabetically, and |
| 560 "indent", which formats C program files (you need a version of indent that | |
| 561 works like a filter; not all versions do). The 'shell' option specifies the | |
| 562 shell Vim uses to execute the filter command (See also the 'shelltype' | |
| 563 option). You can repeat filter commands with ".". Vim does not recognize a | |
| 3492 | 564 comment (starting with '"') after the `:!` command. |
| 32 | 565 |
| 566 *!* | |
| 7 | 567 !{motion}{filter} Filter {motion} text lines through the external |
| 568 program {filter}. | |
| 569 | |
| 570 *!!* | |
| 571 !!{filter} Filter [count] lines through the external program | |
| 572 {filter}. | |
| 573 | |
| 574 *v_!* | |
| 575 {Visual}!{filter} Filter the highlighted lines through the external | |
| 576 program {filter} (for {Visual} see |Visual-mode|). | |
| 577 {not in Vi} | |
| 578 | |
| 579 :{range}![!]{filter} [!][arg] *:range!* | |
| 580 Filter {range} lines through the external program | |
| 581 {filter}. Vim replaces the optional bangs with the | |
| 582 latest given command and appends the optional [arg]. | |
| 583 Vim saves the output of the filter command in a | |

| 3492 | 653 Note that after `:substitute` the '&' flag can't be |
| 7 | 654 used, it's recognized as a pattern separator. |
| 7013 | 655 The space between `:substitute` and the 'c', 'g', |

| 657 it's a good idea to keep it to avoid confusion. | |

| 170 | 664 *&* |
| 3492 | 665 & Synonym for `:s` (repeat last substitute). Note |

| 7 | 709 If the 'edcompatible' option is on, Vim remembers the [c] flag and |
| 710 toggles it each time you use it, but resets it when you give a new | |
| 711 search pattern. | |
| 712 {not in Vi: highlighting of the match, other responses than 'y' or 'n'} | |
| 713 | |
| 714 [e] When the search pattern fails, do not issue an error message and, in | |
| 715 particular, continue in maps as if no error occurred. This is most | |
| 716 useful to prevent the "No match" error from breaking a mapping. Vim | |
| 717 does not suppress the following error messages, however: | |
| 718 Regular expressions can't be delimited by letters | |
| 719 \ should be followed by /, ? or & | |
| 720 No previous substitute regular expression | |
| 721 Trailing characters | |
| 722 Interrupted | |
| 723 {not in Vi} | |
| 724 | |
| 725 [g] Replace all occurrences in the line. Without this argument, | |
| 726 replacement occurs only for the first occurrence in each line. If | |
| 727 the 'edcompatible' option is on, Vim remembers this flag and toggles | |
| 728 it each time you use it, but resets it when you give a new search | |
| 729 pattern. If the 'gdefault' option is on, this flag is on by default | |
| 730 and the [g] argument switches it off. | |
| 731 | |
| 732 [i] Ignore case for the pattern. The 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options | |
| 733 are not used. | |
| 734 {not in Vi} | |
| 735 | |
| 736 [I] Don't ignore case for the pattern. The 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' | |
| 737 options are not used. | |
| 738 {not in Vi} | |
| 739 | |
| 170 | 740 [n] Report the number of matches, do not actually substitute. The [c] |
| 741 flag is ignored. The matches are reported as if 'report' is zero. | |
| 742 Useful to |count-items|. | |
| 3750 | 743 If \= |sub-replace-expression| is used, the expression will be |
| 744 evaluated in the |sandbox| at every match. | |
| 170 | 745 |
| 7 | 746 [p] Print the line containing the last substitute. |
| 168 | 747 |
| 748 [#] Like [p] and prepend the line number. | |
| 749 | |
| 1121 | 750 [l] Like [p] but print the text like |:list|. |
| 7 | 751 |
| 3492 | 752 [r] Only useful in combination with `:&` or `:s` without arguments. `:&r` |
| 753 works the same way as `:~`: When the search pattern is empty, use the | |
| 7 | 754 previously used search pattern instead of the search pattern from the |
| 3492 | 755 last substitute or `:global`. If the last command that did a search |
| 756 was a substitute or `:global`, there is no effect. If the last | |
| 7 | 757 command was a search command such as "/", use the pattern from that |
| 758 command. | |
| 3492 | 759 For `:s` with an argument this already happens: > |
| 7 | 760 :s/blue/red/ |
| 761 /green | |
| 762 :s//red/ or :~ or :&r | |
| 763 < The last commands will replace "green" with "red". > | |
| 764 :s/blue/red/ | |
| 765 /green | |
| 766 :& | |
| 767 < The last command will replace "blue" with "red". | |
| 768 {not in Vi} | |
| 769 | |
| 770 Note that there is no flag to change the "magicness" of the pattern. A | |
| 1621 | 771 different command is used instead, or you can use |/\v| and friends. The |
| 772 reason is that the flags can only be found by skipping the pattern, and in | |
| 773 order to skip the pattern the "magicness" must be known. Catch 22! | |
| 7 | 774 |
| 775 If the {pattern} for the substitute command is empty, the command uses the | |
| 3492 | 776 pattern from the last substitute or `:global` command. If there is none, but |
| 2725 | 777 there is a previous search pattern, that one is used. With the [r] flag, the |
| 3492 | 778 command uses the pattern from the last substitute, `:global`, or search |
| 7 | 779 command. |
| 780 | |
| 1121 | 781 If the {string} is omitted the substitute is done as if it's empty. Thus the |
| 782 matched pattern is deleted. The separator after {pattern} can also be left | |
| 783 out then. Example: > | |
| 784 :%s/TESTING | |
| 785 This deletes "TESTING" from all lines, but only one per line. | |
| 786 | |
| 7 | 787 For compatibility with Vi these two exceptions are allowed: |
| 788 "\/{string}/" and "\?{string}?" do the same as "//{string}/r". | |
| 789 "\&{string}&" does the same as "//{string}/". | |
| 790 *E146* | |
| 791 Instead of the '/' which surrounds the pattern and replacement string, you | |
| 1121 | 792 can use any other single-byte character, but not an alphanumeric character, |
| 793 '\', '"' or '|'. This is useful if you want to include a '/' in the search | |
| 794 pattern or replacement string. Example: > | |
| 7 | 795 :s+/+//+ |
| 796 | |
| 1621 | 797 For the definition of a pattern, see |pattern|. In Visual block mode, use |
| 798 |/\%V| in the pattern to have the substitute work in the block only. | |
| 799 Otherwise it works on whole lines anyway. | |
| 7 | 800 |
| 801 *sub-replace-special* *:s\=* | |
| 802 When the {string} starts with "\=" it is evaluated as an expression, see | |
| 2908 | 803 |sub-replace-expression|. You can use that for complex replacement or special |
| 804 characters. | |
| 805 | |
| 452 | 806 Otherwise these characters in {string} have a special meaning: |
| 168 | 807 *:s%* |
| 843 | 808 When {string} is equal to "%" and '/' is included with the 'cpoptions' option, |
| 2908 | 809 then the {string} of the previous substitute command is used, see |cpo-/| |

| 843 | |
| 2908 | 844 The special meaning is also used inside the third argument {sub} of |
| 845 the |substitute()| function with the following exceptions: | |
| 846 - A % inserts a percent literally without regard to 'cpoptions'. | |
| 847 - magic is always set without regard to 'magic'. | |
| 848 - A ~ inserts a tilde literally. | |
| 849 - <CR> and \r inserts a carriage-return (CTRL-M). | |
| 850 - \<CR> does not have a special meaning. it's just one of \x. | |

| 4264 | 859 |
| 860 Note: "\L\u" can be used to capitalize the first letter of a word. This is | |
| 861 not compatible with Vi and older versions of Vim, where the "\u" would cancel | |
| 862 out the "\L". Same for "\U\l". | |
| 7 | 863 |
| 864 Note: In previous versions CTRL-V was handled in a special way. Since this is | |
| 865 not Vi compatible, this was removed. Use a backslash instead. | |

| 871 | |
| 872 (you need to type CTRL-V <CR> to get a ^M here) | |
| 873 | |
| 874 The numbering of "\1", "\2" etc. is done based on which "\(" comes first in | |
| 875 the pattern (going left to right). When a parentheses group matches several | |
| 876 times, the last one will be used for "\1", "\2", etc. Example: > | |
| 877 :s/\(\(a[a-d] \)*\)/\2/ modifies "aa ab x" to "ab x" | |

878 The "\2" is for "\(a[a-d] \)". At first it matches "aa ", secondly "ab ". |
| 7 | 879 |
| 880 When using parentheses in combination with '|', like in \([ab]\)\|\([cd]\), | |
| 881 either the first or second pattern in parentheses did not match, so either | |
| 882 \1 or \2 is empty. Example: > | |
| 883 :s/\([ab]\)\|\([cd]\)/\1x/g modifies "a b c d" to "ax bx x x" | |

919 expression. |
| 7 | 920 |
| 921 The special meaning for characters as mentioned at |sub-replace-special| does | |
| 2908 | 922 not apply except for "<CR>". A <NL> character is used as a line break, you |
| 923 can get one with a double-quote string: "\n". Prepend a backslash to get a | |
| 924 real <NL> character (which will be a NUL in the file). | |
| 7 | 925 |
| 2908 | 926 The "\=" notation can also be used inside the third argument {sub} of |
| 927 |substitute()| function. In this case, the special meaning for characters as | |
| 928 mentioned at |sub-replace-special| does not apply at all. Especially, <CR> and | |
| 929 <NL> are interpreted not as a line break but as a carriage-return and a | |
| 930 new-line respectively. | |
| 7 | 931 |
| 714 | 932 When the result is a |List| then the items are joined with separating line |
| 933 breaks. Thus each item becomes a line, except that they can contain line | |
| 934 breaks themselves. | |
| 935 | |
| 7 | 936 The whole matched text can be accessed with "submatch(0)". The text matched |
| 937 with the first pair of () with "submatch(1)". Likewise for further | |
| 938 sub-matches in (). | |
| 939 | |
| 940 Be careful: The separation character must not appear in the expression! | |
| 941 Consider using a character like "@" or ":". There is no problem if the result | |
| 942 of the expression contains the separation character. | |
| 943 | |
| 452 | 944 Examples: > |
| 7 | 945 :s@\n@\="\r" . expand("$HOME") . "\r"@ |
| 452 | 946 This replaces an end-of-line with a new line containing the value of $HOME. > |
| 947 | |
| 948 s/E/\="\<Char-0x20ac>"/g | |
| 1668 | 949 This replaces each 'E' character with a euro sign. Read more in |<Char->|. |

| 7 | 955 :promptf[ind] [string] |
| 956 Put up a Search dialog. When [string] is given, it is | |

| 961 :promptr[epl] [string] | |
| 962 Put up a Search/Replace dialog. When [string] is | |

| 3492 | 968 *:ret* *:retab* *:retab!* |
| 7 | 969 :[range]ret[ab][!] [new_tabstop] |
| 970 Replace all sequences of white-space containing a | |
| 971 <Tab> with new strings of white-space using the new | |
| 972 tabstop value given. If you do not specify a new | |
| 973 tabstop size or it is zero, Vim uses the current value | |
| 974 of 'tabstop'. | |
| 975 The current value of 'tabstop' is always used to | |
| 976 compute the width of existing tabs. | |
| 977 With !, Vim also replaces strings of only normal | |
| 978 spaces with tabs where appropriate. | |
| 979 With 'expandtab' on, Vim replaces all tabs with the | |
| 980 appropriate number of spaces. | |
| 981 This command sets 'tabstop' to the new value given, | |
| 982 and if performed on the whole file, which is default, | |
| 983 should not make any visible change. | |
| 984 Careful: This command modifies any <Tab> characters | |
| 985 inside of strings in a C program. Use "\t" to avoid | |
| 986 this (that's a good habit anyway). | |
| 3492 | 987 `:retab!` may also change a sequence of spaces by |
| 7 | 988 <Tab> characters, which can mess up a printf(). |
| 989 {not in Vi} | |

| 992 Example for using autocommands and ":retab" to edit a file which is stored | |
| 993 with tabstops at 8 but edited with tabstops set at 4. Warning: white space | |
| 994 inside of strings can change! Also see 'softtabstop' option. > | |

| 1071 Using the mouse only works when 'mouse' contains 'n' | |

| 7 | 1073 {not in Vi} |
| 1074 If you have a scrollwheel and often accidentally paste | |

1098 "unnamed", paste from the * register |quotestar|. |
| 3492 | 1099 Otherwise, paste from the unnamed register |
| 1100 |quote_quote|. | |
| 7 | 1101 The register can also be '=' followed by an optional |
| 1102 expression. The expression continues until the end of | |
| 1103 the command. You need to escape the '|' and '"' | |
| 1104 characters to prevent them from terminating the | |
| 1105 command. Example: > | |
| 1106 :put ='path' . \",/test\" | |
| 1107 < If there is no expression after '=', Vim uses the | |
| 1108 previous expression. You can see it with ":dis =". | |
| 1109 | |
| 1110 :[line]pu[t]! [x] Put the text [from register x] before [line] (default | |
| 1111 current line). | |
| 1112 | |
| 1113 ["x]]p or *]p* *]<MiddleMouse>* | |
| 1114 ["x]]<MiddleMouse> Like "p", but adjust the indent to the current line. | |
| 1115 Using the mouse only works when 'mouse' contains 'n' | |
| 1116 or 'a'. {not in Vi} | |
| 1117 | |
| 1118 ["x][P or *[P* | |
| 1119 ["x]]P or *]P* | |
| 1120 ["x][p or *[p* *[<MiddleMouse>* | |
| 1121 ["x][<MiddleMouse> Like "P", but adjust the indent to the current line. | |
| 1122 Using the mouse only works when 'mouse' contains 'n' | |
| 1123 or 'a'. {not in Vi} | |
| 1124 | |
| 1125 You can use these commands to copy text from one place to another. Do this | |
| 1126 by first getting the text into a register with a yank, delete or change | |
| 1127 command, then inserting the register contents with a put command. You can | |
| 1128 also use these commands to move text from one file to another, because Vim | |
| 1129 preserves all registers when changing buffers (the CTRL-^ command is a quick | |
| 1130 way to toggle between two files). | |
| 1131 | |
| 1132 *linewise-register* *characterwise-register* | |
| 1133 You can repeat the put commands with "." (except for :put) and undo them. If | |
| 1134 the command that was used to get the text into the register was |linewise|, | |
| 1135 Vim inserts the text below ("p") or above ("P") the line where the cursor is. | |
| 1136 Otherwise Vim inserts the text after ("p") or before ("P") the cursor. With | |
| 1137 the ":put" command, Vim always inserts the text in the next line. You can | |
| 1138 exchange two characters with the command sequence "xp". You can exchange two | |
| 1139 lines with the command sequence "ddp". You can exchange two words with the | |
| 1140 command sequence "deep" (start with the cursor in the blank space before the | |
| 1141 first word). You can use the "']" or "`]" command after the put command to | |
| 1142 move the cursor to the end of the inserted text, or use "'[" or "`[" to move | |
| 1143 the cursor to the start. | |
| 1144 | |
| 1145 *put-Visual-mode* *v_p* *v_P* | |
| 1146 When using a put command like |p| or |P| in Visual mode, Vim will try to | |
| 1147 replace the selected text with the contents of the register. Whether this | |
| 1148 works well depends on the type of selection and the type of the text in the | |
| 1149 register. With blockwise selection it also depends on the size of the block | |
| 236 | 1150 and whether the corners are on an existing character. (Implementation detail: |
| 7 | 1151 it actually works by first putting the register after the selection and then |
| 236 | 1152 deleting the selection.) |

1157 unnamed register will be changed each time. |
| 7 | 1158 |
| 5365 | 1159 When you use a blockwise Visual mode command and yank only a single line into |
| 1160 a register, a paste on a visual selected area will paste that single line on | |
| 1161 each of the selected lines (thus replacing the blockwise selected region by a | |
| 1162 block of the pasted line). | |
| 1163 | |
| 7 | 1164 *blockwise-register* |
| 1165 If you use a blockwise Visual mode command to get the text into the register, | |
| 1166 the block of text will be inserted before ("P") or after ("p") the cursor | |
| 1167 column in the current and next lines. Vim makes the whole block of text start | |
| 1168 in the same column. Thus the inserted text looks the same as when it was | |
| 1169 yanked or deleted. Vim may replace some <Tab> characters with spaces to make | |
| 1170 this happen. However, if the width of the block is not a multiple of a <Tab> | |
| 1171 width and the text after the inserted block contains <Tab>s, that text may be | |
| 1172 misaligned. | |
| 1173 | |
| 1174 Note that after a characterwise yank command, Vim leaves the cursor on the | |
| 1175 first yanked character that is closest to the start of the buffer. This means | |
| 1176 that "yl" doesn't move the cursor, but "yh" moves the cursor one character | |
| 1177 left. | |
| 1178 Rationale: In Vi the "y" command followed by a backwards motion would | |
| 1179 sometimes not move the cursor to the first yanked character, | |
| 1180 because redisplaying was skipped. In Vim it always moves to | |
| 1181 the first character, as specified by Posix. | |
| 1182 With a linewise yank command the cursor is put in the first line, but the | |
| 1183 column is unmodified, thus it may not be on the first yanked character. | |
| 1184 | |

1185 There are ten types of registers: *registers* *E354* |
| 7 | 1186 1. The unnamed register "" |
| 1187 2. 10 numbered registers "0 to "9 | |
| 1188 3. The small delete register "- | |
| 1189 4. 26 named registers "a to "z or "A to "Z | |
| 6557 | 1190 5. three read-only registers ":, "., "% |
| 6583 | 1191 6. alternate buffer register "# |
| 6557 | 1192 7. the expression register "= |
| 1193 8. The selection and drop registers "*, "+ and "~ | |
| 1194 9. The black hole register "_ | |
| 1195 10. Last search pattern register "/ | |
| 7 | 1196 |
| 1197 1. Unnamed register "" *quote_quote* *quotequote* | |
| 1198 Vim fills this register with text deleted with the "d", "c", "s", "x" commands | |
| 1199 or copied with the yank "y" command, regardless of whether or not a specific | |
| 8 | 1200 register was used (e.g. "xdd). This is like the unnamed register is pointing |

1204 register. |
| 42 | 1205 Vim uses the contents of the unnamed register for any put command (p or P) |
| 1206 which does not specify a register. Additionally you can access it with the | |
| 1207 name '"'. This means you have to type two double quotes. Writing to the "" | |
| 1208 register writes to register "0. | |

1211 2. Numbered registers "0 to "9 *quote_number* *quote0* *quote1* |
| 7 | 1212 *quote2* *quote3* *quote4* *quote9* |
| 1213 Vim fills these registers with text from yank and delete commands. | |
| 1214 Numbered register 0 contains the text from the most recent yank command, | |
| 1215 unless the command specified another register with ["x]. | |
| 1216 Numbered register 1 contains the text deleted by the most recent delete or | |
| 1217 change command, unless the command specified another register or the text is | |
| 1218 less than one line (the small delete register is used then). An exception is | |
| 42 | 1219 made for the delete operator with these movement commands: |%|, |(|, |)|, |`|, |
| 1220 |/|, |?|, |n|, |N|, |{| and |}|. Register "1 is always used then (this is Vi | |
| 1221 compatible). The "- register is used as well if the delete is within a line. | |

1222 Note that these characters may be mapped. E.g. |%| is mapped by the matchit |
| 5340 | 1223 plugin. |
| 7 | 1224 With each successive deletion or change, Vim shifts the previous contents |
| 1225 of register 1 into register 2, 2 into 3, and so forth, losing the previous | |
| 1226 contents of register 9. | |
| 1227 {Vi: numbered register contents are lost when changing files; register 0 does | |
| 1228 not exist} | |
| 1229 | |
| 1230 3. Small delete register "- *quote_-* *quote-* | |
| 1231 This register contains text from commands that delete less than one line, | |
| 1232 except when the command specifies a register with ["x]. | |
| 1233 {not in Vi} | |
| 1234 | |
| 1235 4. Named registers "a to "z or "A to "Z *quote_alpha* *quotea* | |
| 1236 Vim fills these registers only when you say so. Specify them as lowercase | |
| 1237 letters to replace their previous contents or as uppercase letters to append | |
| 164 | 1238 to their previous contents. When the '>' flag is present in 'cpoptions' then |
| 1239 a line break is inserted before the appended text. | |
| 7 | 1240 |
| 6557 | 1241 5. Read-only registers ":, ". and "% |
| 7 | 1242 These are '%', '#', ':' and '.'. You can use them only with the "p", "P", |
| 1243 and ":put" commands and with CTRL-R. {not in Vi} | |
| 1244 *quote_.* *quote.* *E29* | |
| 1245 ". Contains the last inserted text (the same as what is inserted | |
| 1246 with the insert mode commands CTRL-A and CTRL-@). Note: this | |
| 1247 doesn't work with CTRL-R on the command-line. It works a bit | |
| 1248 differently, like inserting the text instead of putting it | |
| 1249 ('textwidth' and other options affect what is inserted). | |
| 1250 *quote_%* *quote%* | |
| 1251 "% Contains the name of the current file. | |
| 1252 *quote_:* *quote:* *E30* | |
| 1253 ": Contains the most recent executed command-line. Example: Use | |
| 1254 "@:" to repeat the previous command-line command. | |
| 1255 The command-line is only stored in this register when at least | |
| 1256 one character of it was typed. Thus it remains unchanged if | |
| 1257 the command was completely from a mapping. | |
| 1258 {not available when compiled without the |+cmdline_hist| | |
| 1259 feature} | |
| 6557 | 1260 *quote_#* *quote#* |
| 1261 6. Alternate file register "# | |
| 1262 Contains the name of the alternate file for the current window. It will | |
| 1263 change how the |CTRL-^| command works. | |
| 1264 This register is writable, mainly to allow for restoring it after a plugin has | |
| 1265 changed it. It accepts buffer number: > | |
| 1266 let altbuf = bufnr(@#) | |
| 1267 ... | |
| 1268 let @# = altbuf | |
| 1269 It will give error |E86| if you pass buffer number and this buffer does not | |
| 1270 exist. | |
| 1271 It can also accept a match with an existing buffer name: > | |
| 1272 let @# = 'buffer_name' | |
| 1273 Error |E93| if there is more than one buffer matching the given name or |E94| | |
| 1274 if none of buffers matches the given name. | |
| 7 | 1275 |
| 6557 | 1276 7. Expression register "= *quote_=* *quote=* *@=* |
| 7 | 1277 This is not really a register that stores text, but is a way to use an |
| 1278 expression in commands which use a register. The expression register is | |
| 6647 | 1279 read-write. |
| 1280 | |
| 1281 When typing the '=' after " or CTRL-R the cursor moves to the command-line, | |
| 1282 where you can enter any expression (see |expression|). All normal | |
| 1283 command-line editing commands are available, including a special history for | |
| 1284 expressions. When you end the command-line by typing <CR>, Vim computes the | |
| 1285 result of the expression. If you end it with <Esc>, Vim abandons the | |
| 1286 expression. If you do not enter an expression, Vim uses the previous | |

1300 Use these registers for storing and retrieving the selected text for the GUI. |
| 7 | 1301 See |quotestar| and |quoteplus|. When the clipboard is not available or not |
| 571 | 1302 working, the unnamed register is used instead. For Unix systems the clipboard |
| 1303 is only available when the |+xterm_clipboard| feature is present. {not in Vi} | |
| 7 | 1304 |
| 1305 Note that there is only a distinction between "* and "+ for X11 systems. For | |
| 1306 an explanation of the difference, see |x11-selection|. Under MS-Windows, use | |
| 1307 of "* and "+ is actually synonymous and refers to the |gui-clipboard|. | |
| 1308 | |
| 1309 *quote_~* *quote~* *<Drop>* | |
| 1310 The read-only "~ register stores the dropped text from the last drag'n'drop | |
| 1311 operation. When something has been dropped onto Vim, the "~ register is | |
| 1312 filled in and the <Drop> pseudo key is sent for notification. You can remap | |
| 1313 this key if you want; the default action (for all modes) is to insert the | |
| 1314 contents of the "~ register at the cursor position. {not in Vi} | |
| 9 | 1315 {only available when compiled with the |+dnd| feature, currently only with the |
| 7 | 1316 GTK GUI} |
| 1317 | |
| 1318 Note: The "~ register is only used when dropping plain text onto Vim. | |
| 1319 Drag'n'drop of URI lists is handled internally. | |
| 1320 | |
| 6557 | 1321 9. Black hole register "_ *quote_* |
| 7 | 1322 When writing to this register, nothing happens. This can be used to delete |
| 1323 text without affecting the normal registers. When reading from this register, | |
| 1324 nothing is returned. {not in Vi} | |
| 1325 | |
| 6557 | 1326 10. Last search pattern register "/ *quote_/* *quote/* |
| 7 | 1327 Contains the most recent search-pattern. This is used for "n" and 'hlsearch'. |
| 3492 | 1328 It is writable with `:let`, you can change it to have 'hlsearch' highlight |
| 7 | 1329 other matches without actually searching. You can't yank or delete into this |
| 1621 | 1330 register. The search direction is available in |v:searchforward|. |
| 6647 | 1331 Note that the value is restored when returning from a function |
| 1621 | 1332 |function-search-undo|. |
| 1333 {not in Vi} | |
| 7 | 1334 |
| 1335 *@/* | |
| 3492 | 1336 You can write to a register with a `:let` command |:let-@|. Example: > |
| 7 | 1337 :let @/ = "the" |
| 1338 | |
| 1339 If you use a put command without specifying a register, Vim uses the register | |
| 1340 that was last filled (this is also the contents of the unnamed register). If | |
| 3492 | 1341 you are confused, use the `:dis` command to find out what Vim will put (this |
| 7 | 1342 command displays all named and numbered registers; the unnamed register is |
| 1343 labelled '"'). | |
| 1344 | |
| 1345 The next three commands always work on whole lines. | |
| 1346 | |
| 1347 :[range]co[py] {address} *:co* *:copy* | |
| 1348 Copy the lines given by [range] to below the line | |
| 1349 given by {address}. | |
| 1350 | |
| 1351 *:t* | |
| 1352 :t Synonym for copy. | |
| 1353 | |
| 1354 :[range]m[ove] {address} *:m* *:mo* *:move* *E134* | |
| 1355 Move the lines given by [range] to below the line | |
| 1356 given by {address}. | |
| 1357 | |
| 1358 ============================================================================== | |
| 1359 6. Formatting text *formatting* | |
| 1360 | |
| 1361 :[range]ce[nter] [width] *:ce* *:center* | |
| 1362 Center lines in [range] between [width] columns | |
| 1363 (default 'textwidth' or 80 when 'textwidth' is 0). | |
| 1364 {not in Vi} | |
| 1365 | |
| 1366 :[range]ri[ght] [width] *:ri* *:right* | |
| 1367 Right-align lines in [range] at [width] columns | |
| 1368 (default 'textwidth' or 80 when 'textwidth' is 0). | |
| 1369 {not in Vi} | |
| 1370 | |
| 1371 *:le* *:left* | |
| 1372 :[range]le[ft] [indent] | |
| 1373 Left-align lines in [range]. Sets the indent in the | |
| 1374 lines to [indent] (default 0). {not in Vi} | |
| 1375 | |
| 1376 *gq* | |
| 216 | 1377 gq{motion} Format the lines that {motion} moves over. |
| 667 | 1378 Formatting is done with one of three methods: |
| 1379 1. If 'formatexpr' is not empty the expression is | |
| 1380 evaluated. This can differ for each buffer. | |
| 670 | 1381 2. If 'formatprg' is not empty an external program |
| 667 | 1382 is used. |
| 843 | 1383 3. Otherwise formatting is done internally. |
| 667 | 1384 |
| 1385 In the third case the 'textwidth' option controls the | |
| 1386 length of each formatted line (see below). | |
| 216 | 1387 If the 'textwidth' option is 0, the formatted line |
| 1388 length is the screen width (with a maximum width of | |
| 667 | 1389 79). |
| 7 | 1390 The 'formatoptions' option controls the type of |
| 1391 formatting |fo-table|. | |
| 216 | 1392 The cursor is left on the first non-blank of the last |
| 1393 formatted line. | |
| 7 | 1394 NOTE: The "Q" command formerly performed this |
| 1395 function. If you still want to use "Q" for | |
| 1396 formatting, use this mapping: > | |
| 1397 :nnoremap Q gq | |
| 1398 | |
| 1399 gqgq *gqgq* *gqq* | |

1401 many lines. {not in Vi} |
| 7 | 1402 |
| 1403 *v_gq* | |
| 1404 {Visual}gq Format the highlighted text. (for {Visual} see | |
| 1405 |Visual-mode|). {not in Vi} | |
| 1406 | |
| 1407 *gw* | |
| 1408 gw{motion} Format the lines that {motion} moves over. Similar to | |
| 1409 |gq| but puts the cursor back at the same position in | |
| 667 | 1410 the text. However, 'formatprg' and 'formatexpr' are |
| 1411 not used. {not in Vi} | |
| 7 | 1412 |
| 9 | 1413 gwgw *gwgw* *gww* |
| 1414 gww Format the current line as with "gw". {not in Vi} | |
| 1415 | |
| 1416 *v_gw* | |
| 1417 {Visual}gw Format the highlighted text as with "gw". (for | |
| 1418 {Visual} see |Visual-mode|). {not in Vi} | |
| 1419 | |
| 7 | 1420 Example: To format the current paragraph use: *gqap* > |
| 1421 gqap | |
| 1422 | |
| 1423 The "gq" command leaves the cursor in the line where the motion command takes | |
| 1424 the cursor. This allows you to repeat formatting repeated with ".". This | |
| 1425 works well with "gqj" (format current and next line) and "gq}" (format until | |
| 1426 end of paragraph). Note: When 'formatprg' is set, "gq" leaves the cursor on | |
| 1427 the first formatted line (as with using a filter command). | |
| 1428 | |
| 1429 If you want to format the current paragraph and continue where you were, use: > | |
| 1430 gwap | |
| 1431 If you always want to keep paragraphs formatted you may want to add the 'a' | |
| 1432 flag to 'formatoptions'. See |auto-format|. | |
| 1433 | |
| 1434 If the 'autoindent' option is on, Vim uses the indent of the first line for | |
| 1435 the following lines. | |
| 1436 | |
| 1437 Formatting does not change empty lines (but it does change lines with only | |
| 1438 white space!). | |
| 1439 | |
| 1440 The 'joinspaces' option is used when lines are joined together. | |
| 1441 | |
| 667 | 1442 You can set the 'formatexpr' option to an expression or the 'formatprg' option |
| 1443 to the name of an external program for Vim to use for text formatting. The | |
| 1444 'textwidth' and other options have no effect on formatting by an external | |
| 1445 program. | |
| 7 | 1446 |
| 1447 *right-justify* | |
| 1448 There is no command in Vim to right justify text. You can do it with | |
| 1449 an external command, like "par" (e.g.: "!}par" to format until the end of the | |
| 1450 paragraph) or set 'formatprg' to "par". | |
| 1451 | |
| 1452 *format-comments* | |
| 1621 | 1453 An overview of comment formatting is in section |30.6| of the user manual. |
| 1454 | |
| 1455 Vim can automatically insert and format comments in a special way. Vim | |
| 1456 recognizes a comment by a specific string at the start of the line (ignoring | |
| 1457 white space). Three types of comments can be used: | |
| 7 | 1458 |
| 1459 - A comment string that repeats at the start of each line. An example is the | |
| 1460 type of comment used in shell scripts, starting with "#". | |
| 1461 - A comment string that occurs only in the first line, not in the following | |
| 1462 lines. An example is this list with dashes. | |
| 1463 - Three-piece comments that have a start string, an end string, and optional | |
| 1464 lines in between. The strings for the start, middle and end are different. | |
| 1621 | 1465 An example is the C style comment: |
| 7 | 1466 /* |
| 1467 * this is a C comment | |
| 1468 */ | |
| 1469 | |
| 1470 The 'comments' option is a comma-separated list of parts. Each part defines a | |
| 1471 type of comment string. A part consists of: | |
| 1472 {flags}:{string} | |
| 1473 | |
| 1474 {string} is the literal text that must appear. | |
| 1475 | |
| 1476 {flags}: | |
| 1477 n Nested comment. Nesting with mixed parts is allowed. If 'comments' | |
| 1478 is "n:),n:>" a line starting with "> ) >" is a comment. | |
| 1479 | |
| 1480 b Blank (<Space>, <Tab> or <EOL>) required after {string}. | |
| 1481 | |
| 1482 f Only the first line has the comment string. Do not repeat comment on | |
| 1483 the next line, but preserve indentation (e.g., a bullet-list). | |
| 1484 | |
| 1485 s Start of three-piece comment | |
| 1486 | |
| 1487 m Middle of a three-piece comment | |
| 1488 | |
| 1489 e End of a three-piece comment | |
| 1490 | |
| 1621 | 1491 l Left align. Used together with 's' or 'e', the leftmost character of |
| 1492 start or end will line up with the leftmost character from the middle. | |
| 1493 This is the default and can be omitted. See below for more details. | |
| 7 | 1494 |
| 1621 | 1495 r Right align. Same as above but rightmost instead of leftmost. See |
| 1496 below for more details. | |
| 7 | 1497 |
| 1621 | 1498 O Don't consider this comment for the "O" command. |
| 7 | 1499 |
| 1500 x Allows three-piece comments to be ended by just typing the last | |
| 1621 | 1501 character of the end-comment string as the first action on a new |
| 1502 line when the middle-comment string has been inserted automatically. | |
| 1503 See below for more details. | |
| 7 | 1504 |
| 1505 {digits} | |
| 1621 | 1506 When together with 's' or 'e': add {digit} amount of offset to an |
| 1507 automatically inserted middle or end comment leader. The offset begins | |
| 1508 from a left alignment. See below for more details. | |
| 7 | 1509 |
| 1510 -{digits} | |
| 1511 Like {digits} but reduce the indent. This only works when there is | |
| 1512 some indent for the start or end part that can be removed. | |
| 1513 | |
| 1514 When a string has none of the 'f', 's', 'm' or 'e' flags, Vim assumes the | |
| 1515 comment string repeats at the start of each line. The flags field may be | |
| 1516 empty. | |
| 1517 | |
| 1518 Any blank space in the text before and after the {string} is part of the | |
| 1519 {string}, so do not include leading or trailing blanks unless the blanks are a | |
| 1520 required part of the comment string. | |
| 1521 | |
| 1522 When one comment leader is part of another, specify the part after the whole. | |
| 1523 For example, to include both "-" and "->", use > | |
| 1524 :set comments=f:->,f:- | |
| 1525 | |
| 1526 A three-piece comment must always be given as start,middle,end, with no other | |
| 1527 parts in between. An example of a three-piece comment is > | |
| 1528 sr:/*,mb:*,ex:*/ | |
| 1529 for C-comments. To avoid recognizing "*ptr" as a comment, the middle string | |
| 1530 includes the 'b' flag. For three-piece comments, Vim checks the text after | |
| 1531 the start and middle strings for the end string. If Vim finds the end string, | |
| 1532 the comment does not continue on the next line. Three-piece comments must | |
| 1533 have a middle string because otherwise Vim can't recognize the middle lines. | |
| 1534 | |
| 1535 Notice the use of the "x" flag in the above three-piece comment definition. | |
| 1536 When you hit Return in a C-comment, Vim will insert the middle comment leader | |
| 1621 | 1537 for the new line: " * ". To close this comment you just have to type "/" |
| 7 | 1538 before typing anything else on the new line. This will replace the |
| 1621 | 1539 middle-comment leader with the end-comment leader and apply any specified |
| 6647 | 1540 alignment, leaving just " */". There is no need to hit Backspace first. |
| 1621 | 1541 |
| 6647 | 1542 When there is a match with a middle part, but there also is a matching end |
| 1543 part which is longer, the end part is used. This makes a C style comment work | |
| 2826 | 1544 without requiring the middle part to end with a space. |
| 1621 | 1545 |
| 1546 Here is an example of alignment flags at work to make a comment stand out | |
| 2826 | 1547 (kind of looks like a 1 too). Consider comment string: > |
| 1548 :set comments=sr:/***,m:**,ex-2:******/ | |
| 1549 < | |
| 1550 /*** ~ | |
| 1551 **<--right aligned from "r" flag ~ | |
| 1552 ** ~ | |
| 1553 offset 2 spaces for the "-2" flag--->** ~ | |
| 1554 ******/ ~ | |
| 1621 | 1555 In this case, the first comment was typed, then return was pressed 4 times, |
| 1556 then "/" was pressed to end the comment. | |
| 7 | 1557 |
| 1621 | 1558 Here are some finer points of three part comments. There are three times when |
| 1559 alignment and offset flags are taken into consideration: opening a new line | |
| 1560 after a start-comment, opening a new line before an end-comment, and | |
| 1561 automatically ending a three-piece comment. The end alignment flag has a | |
| 1562 backwards perspective; the result is that the same alignment flag used with | |
| 1563 "s" and "e" will result in the same indent for the starting and ending pieces. | |
| 1564 Only one alignment per comment part is meant to be used, but an offset number | |
| 1565 will override the "r" and "l" flag. | |
| 1566 | |
| 1567 Enabling 'cindent' will override the alignment flags in many cases. | |
| 1568 Reindenting using a different method like |gq| or |=| will not consult | |
| 1569 alignment flags either. The same behaviour can be defined in those other | |
| 1570 formatting options. One consideration is that 'cindent' has additional options | |
| 1571 for context based indenting of comments but cannot replicate many three piece | |
| 2826 | 1572 indent alignments. However, 'indentexpr' has the ability to work better with |
| 1573 three piece comments. | |
| 1621 | 1574 |
| 1575 Other examples: > | |
| 7 | 1576 "b:*" Includes lines starting with "*", but not if the "*" is |
| 1577 followed by a non-blank. This avoids a pointer dereference | |
| 1578 like "*str" to be recognized as a comment. | |
| 1579 "n:>" Includes a line starting with ">", ">>", ">>>", etc. | |
| 1580 "fb:-" Format a list that starts with "- ". | |
| 1581 | |
| 1582 By default, "b:#" is included. This means that a line that starts with | |
| 1583 "#include" is not recognized as a comment line. But a line that starts with | |
| 1584 "# define" is recognized. This is a compromise. | |
| 1585 | |
| 1586 {not available when compiled without the |+comments| feature} | |
| 1587 | |
| 1588 *fo-table* | |
| 1589 You can use the 'formatoptions' option to influence how Vim formats text. | |
| 1590 'formatoptions' is a string that can contain any of the letters below. The | |
| 1591 default setting is "tcq". You can separate the option letters with commas for | |
| 1592 readability. | |
| 1593 | |
| 1594 letter meaning when present in 'formatoptions' ~ | |
| 1595 | |
| 1121 | 1596 t Auto-wrap text using textwidth |
| 7 | 1597 c Auto-wrap comments using textwidth, inserting the current comment |
| 1598 leader automatically. | |
| 1599 r Automatically insert the current comment leader after hitting | |
| 1600 <Enter> in Insert mode. | |
| 1601 o Automatically insert the current comment leader after hitting 'o' or | |
| 1602 'O' in Normal mode. | |
| 1603 q Allow formatting of comments with "gq". | |
| 1604 Note that formatting will not change blank lines or lines containing | |
| 1605 only the comment leader. A new paragraph starts after such a line, | |
| 1606 or when the comment leader changes. | |
| 1607 w Trailing white space indicates a paragraph continues in the next line. | |
| 1608 A line that ends in a non-white character ends a paragraph. | |
| 1609 a Automatic formatting of paragraphs. Every time text is inserted or | |
| 1610 deleted the paragraph will be reformatted. See |auto-format|. | |
| 1611 When the 'c' flag is present this only happens for recognized | |
| 1612 comments. | |
| 41 | 1613 n When formatting text, recognize numbered lists. This actually uses |
| 1614 the 'formatlistpat' option, thus any kind of list can be used. The | |
| 1615 indent of the text after the number is used for the next line. The | |
| 1621 | 1616 default is to find a number, optionally followed by '.', ':', ')', |
| 41 | 1617 ']' or '}'. Note that 'autoindent' must be set too. Doesn't work |
| 1618 well together with "2". | |
| 7 | 1619 Example: > |
| 1620 1. the first item | |
| 1621 wraps | |
| 1622 2. the second item | |
| 1623 2 When formatting text, use the indent of the second line of a paragraph | |
| 1624 for the rest of the paragraph, instead of the indent of the first | |
| 1625 line. This supports paragraphs in which the first line has a | |
| 1626 different indent than the rest. Note that 'autoindent' must be set | |
| 1627 too. Example: > | |
| 1628 first line of a paragraph | |
| 1629 second line of the same paragraph | |
| 1630 third line. | |
| 3682 | 1631 < This also works inside comments, ignoring the comment leader. |
| 7 | 1632 v Vi-compatible auto-wrapping in insert mode: Only break a line at a |
| 1633 blank that you have entered during the current insert command. (Note: | |
| 1634 this is not 100% Vi compatible. Vi has some "unexpected features" or | |
| 1635 bugs in this area. It uses the screen column instead of the line | |
| 1636 column.) | |
| 1637 b Like 'v', but only auto-wrap if you enter a blank at or before | |
| 1638 the wrap margin. If the line was longer than 'textwidth' when you | |
| 1639 started the insert, or you do not enter a blank in the insert before | |
| 1640 reaching 'textwidth', Vim does not perform auto-wrapping. | |
| 1641 l Long lines are not broken in insert mode: When a line was longer than | |
| 1642 'textwidth' when the insert command started, Vim does not | |
| 1643 automatically format it. | |
| 1644 m Also break at a multi-byte character above 255. This is useful for | |
| 1645 Asian text where every character is a word on its own. | |
| 1646 M When joining lines, don't insert a space before or after a multi-byte | |
| 1647 character. Overrules the 'B' flag. | |
| 1648 B When joining lines, don't insert a space between two multi-byte | |
| 1649 characters. Overruled by the 'M' flag. | |
| 1650 1 Don't break a line after a one-letter word. It's broken before it | |
| 1651 instead (if possible). | |
| 3562 | 1652 j Where it makes sense, remove a comment leader when joining lines. For |
| 1653 example, joining: | |
| 1654 int i; // the index ~ | |
| 1655 // in the list ~ | |
| 1656 Becomes: | |
| 1657 int i; // the index in the list ~ | |
| 7 | 1658 |
| 1659 | |
| 1660 With 't' and 'c' you can specify when Vim performs auto-wrapping: | |
| 1661 value action ~ | |
| 1662 "" no automatic formatting (you can use "gq" for manual formatting) | |
| 1663 "t" automatic formatting of text, but not comments | |
| 1664 "c" automatic formatting for comments, but not text (good for C code) | |
| 1665 "tc" automatic formatting for text and comments | |
| 1666 | |
| 867 | 1667 Note that when 'textwidth' is 0, Vim does no automatic formatting anyway (but |
| 1668 does insert comment leaders according to the 'comments' option). An exception | |
| 1669 is when the 'a' flag is present. |auto-format| | |
| 7 | 1670 |
| 1671 Note that when 'paste' is on, Vim does no formatting at all. | |
| 1672 | |
| 1673 Note that 'textwidth' can be non-zero even if Vim never performs auto-wrapping; | |
| 1674 'textwidth' is still useful for formatting with "gq". | |
| 1675 | |
| 1676 If the 'comments' option includes "/*", "*" and/or "*/", then Vim has some | |
| 1677 built in stuff to treat these types of comments a bit more cleverly. | |
| 1678 Opening a new line before or after "/*" or "*/" (with 'r' or 'o' present in | |
| 1679 'formatoptions') gives the correct start of the line automatically. The same | |
| 236 | 1680 happens with formatting and auto-wrapping. Opening a line after a line |
| 7 | 1681 starting with "/*" or "*" and containing "*/", will cause no comment leader to |
| 1682 be inserted, and the indent of the new line is taken from the line containing | |
| 1683 the start of the comment. | |
| 1684 E.g.: | |
| 1685 /* ~ | |
| 1686 * Your typical comment. ~ | |
| 1687 */ ~ | |
| 1688 The indent on this line is the same as the start of the above | |
| 1689 comment. | |
| 1690 | |
| 1691 All of this should be really cool, especially in conjunction with the new | |
| 1692 :autocmd command to prepare different settings for different types of file. | |
| 1693 | |
| 1694 Some examples: | |
| 1695 for C code (only format comments): > | |
| 1696 :set fo=croq | |
| 1697 < for Mail/news (format all, don't start comment with "o" command): > | |
| 1698 :set fo=tcrq | |
| 1699 < | |
| 1700 | |
| 3492 | 1701 Automatic formatting *auto-format* *autoformat* |
| 7 | 1702 |
| 1703 When the 'a' flag is present in 'formatoptions' text is formatted | |
| 1704 automatically when inserting text or deleting text. This works nice for | |
| 1705 editing text paragraphs. A few hints on how to use this: | |
| 1706 | |
| 1707 - You need to properly define paragraphs. The simplest is paragraphs that are | |
| 1708 separated by a blank line. When there is no separating blank line, consider | |
| 1709 using the 'w' flag and adding a space at the end of each line in the | |
| 1710 paragraphs except the last one. | |
| 1711 | |
| 1712 - You can set the 'formatoptions' based on the type of file |filetype| or | |
| 1713 specifically for one file with a |modeline|. | |
| 1714 | |
| 1715 - Set 'formatoptions' to "aw2tq" to make text with indents like this: | |
| 1716 | |
| 1717 bla bla foobar bla | |
| 1718 bla foobar bla foobar bla | |
| 1719 bla bla foobar bla | |
| 1720 bla foobar bla bla foobar | |
| 1721 | |
| 1722 - Add the 'c' flag to only auto-format comments. Useful in source code. | |
| 1723 | |
| 867 | 1724 - Set 'textwidth' to the desired width. If it is zero then 79 is used, or the |
| 1725 width of the screen if this is smaller. | |
| 1726 | |
| 7 | 1727 And a few warnings: |
| 1728 | |
| 1729 - When part of the text is not properly separated in paragraphs, making | |
| 1730 changes in this text will cause it to be formatted anyway. Consider doing > | |
| 1731 | |
| 1732 :set fo-=a | |
| 1733 | |
| 1734 - When using the 'w' flag (trailing space means paragraph continues) and | |
| 1735 deleting the last line of a paragraph with |dd|, the paragraph will be | |
| 1736 joined with the next one. | |
| 1737 | |
| 1738 - Changed text is saved for undo. Formatting is also a change. Thus each | |
| 1739 format action saves text for undo. This may consume quite a lot of memory. | |
| 1740 | |
| 1741 - Formatting a long paragraph and/or with complicated indenting may be slow. | |
| 1742 | |
| 282 | 1743 ============================================================================== |
| 1744 7. Sorting text *sorting* | |
| 1745 | |
| 1746 Vim has a sorting function and a sorting command. The sorting function can be | |
| 5747 | 1747 found here: |sort()|, |uniq()|. |

1784 lines will be kept in their original order. |
| 293 | 1785 Note that leading and trailing white space may cause |
| 1786 lines to be different. | |
| 282 | 1787 |
| 826 | 1788 When /{pattern}/ is specified and there is no [r] flag |
| 1789 the text matched with {pattern} is skipped, so that | |
| 1790 you sort on what comes after the match. | |
| 282 | 1791 Instead of the slash any non-letter can be used. |
| 1792 For example, to sort on the second comma-separated | |
| 1793 field: > | |
| 1794 :sort /[^,]*,/ | |
| 1795 < To sort on the text at virtual column 10 (thus | |
| 1796 ignoring the difference between tabs and spaces): > | |
| 1797 :sort /.*\%10v/ | |
| 824 | 1798 < To sort on the first number in the line, no matter |
| 1799 what is in front of it: > | |
| 1621 | 1800 :sort /.\{-}\ze\d/ |
| 1801 < (Explanation: ".\{-}" matches any text, "\ze" sets the | |
| 1802 end of the match and \d matches a digit.) | |
| 1803 With [r] sorting is done on the matching {pattern} | |
| 826 | 1804 instead of skipping past it as described above. |
| 1805 For example, to sort on only the first three letters | |
| 1806 of each line: > | |
| 1807 :sort /\a\a\a/ r | |
| 1808 | |
| 1809 < If a {pattern} is used, any lines which don't have a | |
| 1810 match for {pattern} are kept in their current order, | |
| 1811 but separate from the lines which do match {pattern}. | |
| 1812 If you sorted in reverse, they will be in reverse | |
| 1813 order after the sorted lines, otherwise they will be | |
| 1814 in their original order, right before the sorted | |
| 1815 lines. | |
| 1816 | |
| 1314 | 1817 If {pattern} is empty (e.g. // is specified), the |
| 1818 last search pattern is used. This allows trying out | |
| 1819 a pattern first. | |
| 1820 | |
| 3492 | 1821 Note that using `:sort` with `:global` doesn't sort the matching lines, it's |
| 293 | 1822 quite useless. |

1826 Vim does do a "stable" sort. |
| 359 | 1827 |
| 826 | 1828 The sorting can be interrupted, but if you interrupt it too late in the |
| 1829 process you may end up with duplicated lines. This also depends on the system | |
| 1830 library function used. | |
