    Searching

    Vim search is friendly 😁

    To search we can use /{regex pattern} . Use n to move to the next match and N to move back

    Search and Replace

    We can use the /{search} method to find the word and use the motion cgn to change the word and enter the new word. Then go back to NORMAL mode and pressing n to go to next character and use . to repeat the motion. Downside is that this is manual and tedious.

    To search and replace on a single line we can use the :s command

    :s/{search_pattern}/{replace_pattern}/{options}
    • options
      • c (for confirmation),
      • g (replace all occurrence in one line)
      • i (for ignoring the case)

    To replace all the occureneces in the file we can use :%s instead of :s

    Using Terminal in NeoVim

    Learn more about [[Terminal in NeoVim]]

    Thanks to my friend Andrew Bastin for Suggesting me Floaterm, I use Floaterm Now.

    Imgur

    A Floating terminal inside NeoVim. How cool is That??? As mentioned in "[[Terminal in NeoVim]]" the NORMAL mode Keybinding is a tad hard, so as a noob vim user, I added the binding to ESC key. It's easier for me that way. I also remapped a few things to get terminal a bit easier from the NORMAL mode.

    nmap fn :FloatermNew zsh<CR>
nmap ft :FloatermToggle<CR>
nmap fp :FloatermNext<CR>
nmap fk :FloatermKill<CR>
nmap fo :FloatermPrev<CR>

    For remapping the command from the terminal I used this 👇

    tnoremap <ESC> <C-\><C-n>
