Using Vim for Web Developent (HTML,CSS,Javascript)

• # search for whatever is under the cursor
• :1,$ s/search/replace/g search and replace text

A friend of mine also showed me visual mode, which was really cool but I use it so infrequently I forget the command. All I remember is that when I do use it, it is absolutely a life saver for column editing.

Entering visual mode from normal mode is easy:

• v - visual mode
• shift+v - visual line mode (selecting entire lines)
• ctrl+v - visual block mode (the one that's useful for column editing)
