# Open vim
vim ~/.vimrc
# Add these lines
set expandtab # Use spaces for tab
set tabstop=2 # Amount of spaces used for tab
set shiftwidth=2 # Amount of spaces used during indentation
# Move the cursor
- Use:
h -> move to left
l -> move to right
j -> move down
k -> move up
- Esc + w -> move word to word, set cursor at the beginning of the word
- Esc + e -> move word to word, set cursor at the end of the word
# Edit/view/find words or lines
- Esc + DD -> delete a line
- Esc + o -> add a new line
- Esc + :set nu -> to add line numbers
- Esc + dw -> Delete a word
- Esc + u -> revert changes
- Esc + / -> Find a word
* Esc :num + Enter -> go a specific number line in a file, example: Esc :22
# Indent several lines
- Shift + v -> to visual mode and up and down arrows to move the cursor
- Shift + > -> indentation to the right
- Shift + < -> indentation to the left
- Shift + 2> -> indentation to the right, two times
- Shift + 3< -> indentation to the left, three times
# Copy and paste single line
- Esc + y -> copy a line
- Esc + p -> paste the line
# copy and paste several lines
- Esc + V -> Mark lines, then arrow keys to select several lines
- Esc + y -> Copy marked lines
- Esc + d -> Cut marked lines
- Esc + p -> Past lines# List all kubectl context
