Visual block mode, macros, ctags. Useful stuff, but not what you need when the buffer is full of prose.</p> <p>I put together a <a href="https://www.raykrueger.com/vim-for-writers.html">cheat sheet</a> focused on writing. Sentence and paragraph motion, text objects like <code>cis</code> and <code>cip</code>, <code>gj</code>/<code>gk</code> for wrapped lines. The commands that matter when you&rsquo;re editing words, not code.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been using Vim for decades. Decades I tell you! And I did not know <code>(</code> and <code>)</code> move by sentence until I made this thing. It&rsquo;s right there in <code>:help motion</code>.</p>
