TIL: Vim Text Motions
Last updated: Wed Apr 19 2023
In vim, in addition to basic directional commands like h,j,k,l and word motions like w, there’s a number of other useful text motions:
(: Jump backward by sentences.): Jump forward by sentences.{: Jump backward by paragraphs.}: Jump forward by paragraphs.[(: Jump backward by unmatched parentheses.[): Jump forward by unmatched parentheses.[{: Jump backward by unmatched curly brackets.[}: Jump forward by unmatched curly brackets.
Each of these also take a count, so for instance you can do 2{ to jump backwards by 2 paragraphs.
