VIM is a great editor

Ok, so I use VIM. I used to use Emacs, but I guess the starting time was bothering me. Also, for small sysadmin edits I used VIM already and I was mixing key strokes from Emacs and VIM.

Here is a list of some usefull commands and settings from VIM:

gq Word wrap - make text, comments look nicer
CTRL-ww Switch window
:bd Close buffer
:ls List buffers
:b1 - :bn Switch to buffer n - :b5 - switch to buffer 5
:sbn Same as :b1 - :bn, but split
:CTRL-w q Close current buffer/window
:on Show only current buffer
:mkvimrc file Save VIM settings
