Vim's Command Line Mode

Often it's desirable to run a previous command line command. Executing q/ then /string <ENTER> will search through the command line history for string. <C-c> will then place that command in the command line window.

Alternatively, the command line history is browser via j/k. To insert a command, use <C-c>.

Other helpful basic navigation commands:

• Simple editing

• <C-b> takes the cursor the beginning of the line.

• <C-e> takes the cursor the end of the line.Other help

• <C-h> deletes the character in front of the cursor

• <C-w> deletes the word in front of the cursor

• <C-u> deletes all the characters between the cursor and beginning of the line.

• Simple Yank/Paste

• <C-r> " paste into the command line from the unnamed register

• <C-r> / paste the previous search

• <C-r> : paste the previous command
