Oh, look! Another ✨exciting✨ #Neovim #cheatsheet for all two people still using #Vim. Because clearly, the biggest problem with Vim is *remembering the keys*, not *escaping the editor*. 🔑💥👨💻

TIL about `<C-a>` and `<C-x>` in #vim for adding or subtracting.
(`:h ctrl-a` , `:h ctrl-x` )Ctrl-a will add [count] to a number or alphabetic character at or after the cursor.
And Ctrl-x will do subtraction in the same way.For example let's say I need to increment this 1 to be a 2.
```
replicas: 1
```Normally I would type `f1` followed by `r2`
Or maybe even just `A` <backspace> `2`But we can do better.
In this particular scenario I need only be on that line and do `<C-a>`
Since `<C-a>` will look ahead to find a digit on the current line and act upon it. Which means we can do this from the start of the line and it will turn into:```
replicas: 2
```And if I want to change it back to `1` I can use `<C-x>`
These two commands will even take a `[count]`. This means that if the current value is `replicas: 1` we can do `10<C-a>` and it will now say `replicas: 11`

So I wanted to change syntax highlight in VIM from *txt to *md.
Web search didn't really help (generic howto's typeOf: click here) and I was as usual quite lost in the manual itself. But here's where GVIM comes in handy, as it shows the command you chose in menu in the status bar.
So to change syntax highlight of txt to say, markdown:
:cal SetSyn("markdown")
Note: why don't you's ain't helpful here, I just needed to do that because reasons...

And when you need the full completion madness in the command line, for example when you're editing complex Regular Expression statements, simply type `q:` from normal mode and you get the full Vim editing power in an editable command history window.
Simply type your command line statement (or select an older one) and press <CR> to execute the command line under the cursor. See :help q: -
#Vim hint of the week (because I'm searching this regulary again):
You can insert the word under the cursor while in command mode with:
<CTRL-R><CTRL-W>
This comes in handy when you want to [s]ubstitute a word, without having it to retype again.:%s/<CTRL-R><CTRL-W>/newWord/g

#VimTips got a healthy subconscious Ctrl+S reflex from other editor's? Use :up in vim for you for your file saving reflex. The :update command saves your file only if there are changes. Meaning: you can spam this command without causing unnecessary writes.

@s0 @[email protected] one of my favorite recent discoveries ggg?G as mentioned above gg goes to the beginning, g? says to apply rot13, and G for the end of the document. So with that you can rot13 an entire file. #VimTips
