/g in sed command means global in line, not in entire file. So without /g replacement will be done for the first occurrence in each line where we have matching

Did you know you can append to a named register? “xY will yank the current line into register x. “XY will append the current line to register x. This lets you build up a register to paste later. For example: you want to grab a couple lines of code from several locations and paste them into a new function, you can gather them all into that register and then do one paste when you have them assembled. Also, because a macro is just executing a register, you can edit a macro by pasting the contents of the register, modify it, then yank the new macro back into the register ready to run the modified macro. One last item: a macro can call another macro or even itself. Writing recursive macros to update thousands of lines can be quite satisfying, but is most useful if making a regex substitution is just too difficult or not quite fully repeatable.

v + i + w + y (to copy the selected word) can be done with y + i + w (yank inside word)
@typecraft_dev
🚨 I misspoke!! 🚨 Typically with Vim videos, I tend to do them from top-of-my-head knowledge. For some reason, I always think of the "substitute" command as "sed". "s" is substitute, not "sed" sorry for any confusion, hope you like the video!!

I always went boinker with macros but now i Understand them!

I am a beginner, I hated VIM at first and I told myself I would never touch it again. But I kept learning things little by little. Your channel helped me a lot, it has made me fall in love with VIM. I am also following your playlist to learn to make my own Neovim config. Thanks nerd!
@kirjahrialt
i've been vimming for too long to not know about that * motion 😭 that's gonna be useful
@EdygarOliveira
If you already have it already highlighted by the *, you can simply :%s//replacement/g, you don’t have to repeat what was highlighted
@bdhaliwal24
I've been using VI for over 30 years and I learned a few super-useful things from this video. Thank you!
@serge7878-l7c
<C-^> will toggle between the current and previous buffers, you can mash it to go back and forth kinda like harpoon. Also <C-o> lets you go backwards in the jump table if you wana navigate back a line or two or three etc.
@jamesaffleck4192
Great tips! With macros you can do @@ to replay last played macro. Also while recording a macro,.you can also replay that macro inifonitely until vim.encounters an error. I.e. for your example qah //start recording into h i"<escape>E",<eacape> // addquotes around word, then add comma @h //.start replaying entire macro recursively, i.e. this will keep replaying the 'h' macro until error encountered. A couple more register tips. Add to init.vim or .vimrc set clipboard unnamedplus //Always yank/paste from system clipboard. One register tip: "_d //delete without overwriting default register In visual mode.ypu can do P to paste without overwriting. Here's a couple other honorable mentions. Use the global command to delete all lines containing search. :g/search/d And its inverse (delete lines not containing search) :!/search/d

Thanks moustache man, I needed this.

Hi! I’m a content creator in the same space, and I really appreciate the quality of your videos and the work it requires to create them. This video is a great guide for beginners and showcases the power of vim editing in such an effortless way, Keep up the good work!
@code-island
bring the part 2 with more 50 commands
@BFedie518
8:08 I didn't realize you could assign registers to each other like that. And I almost made it through the video without learning anything! Great video though. These are all really good to know.
@NilEoe
%s already targets the whole file, the /g (global) replaces every occurrence of the word, not just the first of every line Super helpful video though! Didn’t know how to use registers, thanks a lot!
@LilyAwertnex
About macros, try 'qq' to start recording into 'q', because 'shift+q' does the same thing as '@<key>'.
@yewknight
3:40 you can just yiw without visual mode.
@theantonlulz
For anyone for whom the special register yank at around 7:00 doesn't work on Linux: - Run `sudo apt install vim-gtk3` - Verify clipboard support by running `vim --version | grep clipboard` . If you get an output containing `+clipboard` then it is supported, an `-clipboard` indicates it is not. - Update/Reinstall neovim. Should now work.
