Search and Indent in Vim
I want to discuss a couple handy tricks that I learned today, while coding. If you’re a Vim user, you will probably find these helpful as well.
First, searching with super star. That is, while in normal mode (not visual or insert mode), while pressing the “*” key, you will search for more words in the text file that you cursor is over. Put your cursor over the word “for” in your python source file, and press the “*” key to see all other “for” loops in the file. Frankly, this will save me a ton of typing, as I don’t have to reach for “:/” anymore. Nice.
Last, indenting. Being a web developer, I hate taking an existing HTML document that hasn’t been properly indented, and trying to parse through it finding beginning and ending tags.
