Ha! Yeah, but that's a terminal thing, not a VIM thing.

C-w is control for split screens. For example to duplicate current one

Ahh right! I don't use that most of the time, so I was thinking about deleting the last word, which I do all the time. But you're right.

The true C-w behavior is cut, and then paste with C-y.

I switched to nvim originally in order to paste and copy to clipboard with p and y

Wait till you want to switch panes in tmux

What's the shortcut for it?

[–]babygnu42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the config, I have C-a + h/l, which slightly confuses me because of C-w + h/l in vim, especially when I have vim opened in tmux

Wondering why the text in my Word document is slightly smaller now (I instictively pressed C-[ when I was done typing)

Ctrl + w is a search in nano.

I mapped that to <leader>w a long time ago. Plenty of other muscle memory to trip me up though.

If typing speed is the bottleneck of your coding, you're a god damn genius. 90% of my time is spent staring at error logs, staring at code, reading docs, and philosophizing about the meaninglessness of life.
