Keyboard Shortcuts
1 Basic Editor Features
1.1 The Most Basics
k
: switchs to INSERT
: mode (same as key i
in vanilla vim)
Q
: quits current vim window (same as command :q
in vanilla vim)
S
: saves the current file (same as command :w
in vanilla vim)
IMPORTANT
Since the i
key has been mapped to k
, every command (combination) that involves i
should use k
instead (for example, ciw
should be ckw
).

Customized Vertical Cursor Movement
This NeoVim configuration includes a customized vertical cursor movement tailored for Colemak users. It can be located in cursor.vim
, and it serves as an alternative to the "number + up/down" key combination.
In order to move the cursor up x
lines, press the [
key, and treat the middle row of the Colemak keyboard layout ("arstdhneio") as number 1 to 0. Press the numbers that you'd like your cursor to move (x
) and press the space bar.
To move the cursor down, press the '
key instead of the [
key, and the rest would be the same.
Example:
Shortcut | Action |
---|---|
[ a o o SPACE |
Move the cursor up 100 lines |
' a r s SPACE |
Move the cursor down 123 lines |
[ d o SPACE |
Move the cursor up 50 lines |
Note: As of now, you may only move vertically up to 199 lines with this key configuration!
