2015-08-2630 minVimcastsUsing selected text in UltiSnips snippetsWhen UltiSnips is triggered from Visual mode it captures the selection and makes it available to our snippets. We can then insert the selection unchanged with the $VISUAL placeholder, or we can use UltiSnips Python interpolation to transform the text before inserting it back into the document.
2014-07-2300 minVimcastsUsing Python interpolation in UltiSnips snippetsUltiSnips can execute Python code and interpolate the result into a snippet. This makes it possible to create snippets that react to the text entered in each field. We’ll look at an example that performs a simple calculation and inserts the result into our document.
2014-05-2900 minVimcastsMeet UltiSnipsSnippets allow you to quickly insert predefined chunks of text into your document. The feature as I know it was first introduced in TextMate, but it has since been emulated by many other editors. For Vim users who want this functionality, the UltiSnips plugin is a great choice. Let’s start by looking at the basics.
2014-05-2100 minVimcastsSwapping two regions of text with exchange.vimSwapping two regions of text is a common task, which normally requires that we make two separate changes to the document.
Tom McDonald’s exchange plugin offers an elegant alternative, by providing an operator that swaps two regions of text in one go.
2014-02-2400 minVimcastsUsing external filter commands to reformat HTMLWe can use pandoc as a filter to clean up WYSIWYG-generated HTML. Pandoc is a commandline program, but we can call it from inside Vim either using the bang Ex command, or by configuring the formatprg option to make the gq operator invoke pandoc.
2014-02-1800 minVimcastsOperating on search matches using gnThe gn command (introduced in Vim 7.4) makes it easy to operate on regions of text that match the current search pattern. It’s especially useful when used with a regex that matches text regions of variable length.
2014-02-1100 minVimcastsCreating mappings that accept a countLots of Vim’s built-in Normal mode commands can be executed multiple times by prefixing them with a count. User-defined Normal mode mappings don’t usually handle counts the way we might like them to. We’ll explore a couple of techniques for making our custom mappings respond predictably to a count.
2014-02-0600 minVimcastsCreating repeatable mappings with repeat.vimThe dot command is my all-time favorite Vim trick: it tells Vim to repeat the last change. But the dot command tends not to work well with user-defined mappings. In this episode, we’ll use repeat.vim to set up a simple mapping so that it can be repeated using the dot command.
2014-01-2100 minVimcastsComparing buffers with vimdiffVim’s diff mode allows us to easily compare the contents of two (or more) buffers. We can start Vim in diff mode using the vimdiff command, or if Vim is already running we can switch to diff mode using the :diffthis command. The beauty of the :diffthis command is that it works with unnamed buffers, whereas vimdiff can only work with files.
2014-01-1500 minVimcastsUsing Vim's paste mode with the system paste commandWhen Vim is compiled without the +clipboard feature, we can still insert text from the clipboard using the system paste command (ctrl-v or cmd-v). This can produce strange effects, but we can avoid them by toggling the paste option each time we use the system paste command.
2013-11-1500 minVimcastsAccessing the system clipboard from VimIn some environments, Vim lets us access the system clipboard using the quoteplus register, "+. When this feature is enabled, we can use it with the delete, yank and put operations in much the same way that we use Vim’s other registers. Pasting from this register usually produces better results than using the system paste command in Insert mode.

2013-11-0433 minVimcastsEvaluating scripts with Vim's expression registerIn the previous lesson we learned how use the expression register to evaluate simple calculations. We can also call built-in and user-defined Vimscript functions, and thanks to the system() function, we can also fetch output from external scripts.
2013-10-2100 minVimcastsSimple calculations with Vim's expression registerThe expression register lets us evaluate a snippet of Vimscript code. This is handy when you need to perform simple calculations and insert the result into the document.
2013-10-1600 minVimcastsPasting from Insert modeWe don’t have to be in Normal mode to paste the contents of a register. The <C-r>{reg} command lets us paste a register from Insert mode (and it works in commandline mode too!) Using this command allows us to make changes that can be repeated with the dot command.
2013-10-1100 minVimcastsPasting from Visual modeWhen used in Visual mode the p command replaces the selection with the contents of a register. This makes for a smooth workflow when you want to overwrite a selection, or swap the order of two regions of text.
2013-10-0700 minVimcastsUsing Vim's named registersWe’ve met Vim’s default register and the yank register. This time, we’re going to look at the named registers, which are handy if you want to cut or copy some text that you intend to paste multiple times.
2013-10-0400 minVimcastsMeet the yank registerVim’s default register is not a safe place to keep yanked text that you want to paste later. It’s all too easy to clobber the default register with a d or x command. Luckily, the last yanked text is kept safe in Vim’s yank register.
2013-09-3000 minVimcastsSimple operations using the default registerVim’s default register makes it easy to perform some of the most basic types of cut, copy, and paste operations. That’s partly thanks to the p command, which behaves differently depending on whether the default register contains a characterwise or linewise region of text.
2013-09-2700 minVimcastsAn introduction to vspecVspec is a library that allows you to test-drive your Vimscript code. In this tutorial, we’ll cover the basics: how to inspect the contents of a buffer, how to simulate the actions of a user, and how to invoke user-defined mappings.

2013-05-1300 minVimcastsEnhanced abbreviations with :AbolishVim’s built-in abbreviation feature is handy if you want to auto-correct words that you frequently misspell, but it requires a lot of setup. The :Abolish command makes it easy to generate abbreviations that will correct multiple forms of the same word.
This is the final of a three-part series on Tim Pope’s abolish plugin.
2013-04-2900 minVimcastsSupercharged substitution with :SubvertThe abolish plugin provides a command called :Subvert, which is like a supercharged version of Vim’s built-in :substitute command. The :Subvert command is especially useful for changing singular and plural variants of a word, and for refactoring names that appear in snake_case and MixedCase.
This is part two of a three-part series on Tim Pope’s abolish plugin.
2013-04-2200 minVimcastsSmart search with :SubvertThe :Subvert command lets us create a particular style of regular expressions with ease. It’s great for matching irregular singular and plural words in plain English and also for variable names that come in snake_case and MixedCase forms.
This is part one of a three-part series on Tim Pope’s abolish plugin.
2013-04-1200 minVimcastsSearch for the selected textThe * command searches for the word under the cursor. That makes sense in Normal mode, but from Visual mode it would be more useful if the star command searched for the current selection, rather than the current word. We can add this feature to Vim using the visual star search plugin.
2013-03-2500 minVimcastsProject-wide find and replaceVim doesn’t have a built-in command for project-wide find and replace operations, but we can perform this task by combining primitive Ex commands such as :substitute, :argdo, and :vimgrep. We’ll look at two possible strategies: first using the arglist, then the quickfix list.
2013-03-1900 minVimcastsSearch multiple files with :vimgrepvimgrep is Vim’s built-in command for searching across multiple files. It’s not so fast as external tools like ack and git-grep, but it has its uses. vimgrep uses Vim’s built-in regex engine, so you can reuse the patterns that work with Vim’s standard search command.
2013-03-0100 minVimcastsUsing :argdo to change multiple filesThe :argdo command allows us to execute an Ex command across all buffers in the arglist. To demonstrate, we’ll use the example of running the :substitute command across multiple files, then we’ll see how to revert or save the changes. We’ll also compare the :argdo and :bufdo commands, and consider when it’s appropriate to use each one.
2013-02-2500 minVimcastsPopulating the arglistThe arglist wouldn’t be much use if we had to quit and relaunch Vim every time we wanted to change its contents. In this episode, we’ll learn how to set the contents of the arglist using the :args command, which can receive filepaths, globs, or even backtick expressions.
2013-02-2200 minVimcastsMeet the arglistThe arglist feature complements Vim’s buffer list. In this episode, we’ll learn a handful of commands for traversing the arglist. We’ll see that it’s useful to think of the arglist as a stable subset of the files in the buffer list.
2013-02-1900 minVimcastsLong-range line duplicationWhen writing code, we can often save time by duplicating a line then changing one or two parts of that line to make it suit our purposes. In this episode, we’ll compare a few techniques for duplicating lines, and we’ll see that the :copy Ex command is well suited to this task.
2013-01-0900 minVimcastsProfiling Vimscript performanceVim users are unforgiving of plugins that impair performance. Luckily, Vim provides built-in profiling tools that make it easy to diagnose performance issues. We’ll start by looking at how to profile the vimrc file, then move on to a real world scenario where profiling helped to identify and aleviate a performance bottleneck.
2012-12-0300 minVimcastsWriting a custom fold expressionWith a little bit of Vimscript, you can create a custom folding expression for any filetype. We’ll start by looking at the mechanics of folding with markers, then go on to create a folding expression for markdown documents.
2012-11-2600 minVimcastsHow to foldVim’s folding feature enables us to expand and collapse regions of a document. Not only does this allow us to organize our workspace, it also makes it easy to navigate around the document, and to rearrange entire sections as though they were single lines.
2012-11-1900 minVimcastsVimGolf - Prime NumbersFor the VimGolf challenge “List the first 100 prime numbers”, there’s a solution that uses a regular expression to detect prime numbers. At 43 keystokes, it’s not the winning solution, but I think it’s the most interesting one. It uses a few clever Vim tricks, including macros, control-a to increment, the very magic pattern switch, and the :global command. There’s a lot to learn from those 43 keystrokes, so let’s study it!
2012-08-1000 minVimcastsFugitive.vim - exploring the history of a git repositoryGit provides tools for searching the contents of files, commit messages, and even whether text was added or removed by a commit. In this episode, we’ll see how fugitive’s Ggrep and Glog commands wrap this functionality up so that we can search the contents and history of a git repo from right inside of Vim.
This is the last of our five part series on fugitive.vim.
2011-05-1800 minVimcastsFugitive.vim - browsing the git object databaseWith the fugitive plugin, you’re not limited to just working with files in your working tree. The :Gedit command allows you to open files in other branches, and to browse any git object, including tags, commits and trees. Plus, if your repository is hosted on github, you can easily bring up the webpage for any git object using the :Gbrowse command.
This is the penultimate of a five part series on fugitive.vim.
2011-05-1300 minVimcastsFugitive.vim - resolving merge conflicts with vimdiffWhen git branches are merged, there is always the chance of a conflict arising if a file was modified in both the target and merge branches. You can resolve merge conflicts using a combination of fugitive’s :Gdiff command, and Vim’s built in diffget and diffput. In this episode, we’ll find out how.
This is the third in a five part series on fugitive.vim.
2011-05-0600 minVimcastsFugitive.vim - working with the git indexThe fugitive plugin provides an interactive status window, where you can easily stage and review your changes for the next commit. The :Gdiff command visualizes the changes made to a file, by comparing the working copy with the index. In this episode, we’ll learn how to stage hunks of changes to the index without using the git add --patch command.
This is the second of a five part series on fugitive.vim. In the next episode, we’ll learn how to resolve a git merge conflict by performing a 3-way vimdiff.
2011-04-2900 minVimcastsFugitive.vim - a complement to command line gitThe fugitive plugin, by Tim Pope, is a git wrapper for Vim. It complements the command line interface to git, but doesn’t aim to replace it. In this episode, we’ll see how some of fugitive’s commands can streamline your workflow.
This is the first of a five part series on fugitive.

2011-04-1241 minVimcastsUndo branching and Gundo.vimThe undo command is almost universally available in software today. Being able to rollback unwanted changes can be a real timesaver. In most applications you can only go backwards and forwards linearly, but Vim keeps your changes in a tree structure, which means that you can retrieve edits from distant branches in your history. This episode will show you how.
2011-02-2300 minVimcastsAligning text with Tabular.vimThere are times when you can improve the readability of your code by lining up the elements on neighbouring lines. In this episode, I demonstrate how this can be achieved using the Tabular plugin.
2011-01-1700 minVimcastsRefining search patterns with the command-line windowWhen you need to build a complex command, or devise a non-trivial search pattern, Vim’s command-line mode can be rather limiting. In this episode, I will introduce the command-line window, which allows you to use the full power of Vim when editing search queries and commands.
2010-11-2100 minVimcastsSynchronizing plugins with git submodules and pathogenIf you use Vim on muliple machines, it can be difficult to keep your configuration files synchronized across them. One solution is to put your dotfiles under version control. In this episode, I demonstrate how to keep your vimrc and plugins synchronized using git submodules and the pathogen plugin.
2010-10-1200 minVimcastsBubbling textTextMate has a few built in commands for moving selected text around a document. The end end result of using these commands can be achieved by cutting and pasting, but the visual feedback they provide is quite helpful. In this episode, I will show how to replicate these commands in Vim.
2010-10-0500 minVimcastsCreating colorschemes for VimChoosing a colorscheme that you find pleasing to look at is essential if you want to be comfortable working with Vim. There are hundreds of colorschemes available, but what if you can’t find one that you like? In this episode, I’ll share a few tips that make it easy to create colorschemes for Vim.
2010-09-2800 minVimcastsUpdating your vimrc file on the flyThe vimrc file allows you to preserve your settings so that they are restored each time you launch Vim. But what if you want to update your vimrc file in the middle of an editing session? This episode demonstrates a couple of tricks that make it easy to customize Vim on the fly.
2010-07-1800 minVimcastsConverting HAML to ERB with Vim macrosHAML and ERB are two commonly used ruby templating languages. You may have a strong preference for one or the other, but it’s not always up to you which one you use. I was recently asked to convert several HAML files to ERB format. In this episode, I will demonstrate a couple of Vim macros that helped make short work of the task.
2010-07-0800 minVimcastsSelecting columns with visual block modeIf you want to edit several adjacent lines with a similar format, you might save a lot of time by making a columnar selection. This episode will demonstrate how to achieve this using Vim’s visual block mode.
2010-06-2000 minVimcastsConverting markdown to structured HTML with a macroRecording your keystrokes as a macro can be a great timesaver, but you have to be careful that you use commands in such a way that they can be reused. In this episode, I construct a fairly complex macro to build a structural HTML document from markdown.
2010-06-0200 minVimcastsRunning Vim within IRBIf you work with ruby you will know that the interactive ruby shell, or ‘IRB’ for short, is a useful sketchpad for coding. But the command line interface of IRB can feel quite limiting in comparison with the power of your text editor. In this episode, I’m going to demonstrate how you can get the best of both worlds, by loading Vim from inside IRB.
2010-05-1600 minVimcastsSpell checkingUsing a spell checker is a good habit to get into. In this episode, I demonstrate how to use Vim’s built in spell checking feature.
2010-05-1000 minVimcastsFormatting text with par‘Do one thing and do it well’ is the principle of the Unix toolkit. Editing text is a broad domain, and there are many related tasks with which it overlaps. Vim acknowledges this by enabling certain tasks to be outsourced to external programs which do that one thing, and do it well. This episode will demonstrate how the par program can be used for formatting text.
2010-05-0300 minVimcastsHard wrapping textIt is sometimes preferable to format text with hard wrapped lines, for example when writing emails in plaintext. Vim can apply this style of formatting for you. This episode shows some of the options which allow you to customize Vim’s text formatting.
2010-04-2600 minVimcastsSoft wrapping textLong lines of text can be wrapped if they don’t fit inside the window. By default, Vim will happily split in the middle of a word. This episode demonstrates how to use the ‘linebreak’ option to make Vim break lines without breaking words.
2010-04-2000 minVimcastsThe file explorerThis episode demonstrates how Vim’s native file browser can be used to explore and manipulate the file system.
2010-04-1200 minVimcastsThe :edit commandThis episode focuses on the :edit command. I demonstrate how to open files whose location is relative to the current working directory, then I show how to create a mapping which makes it easier to open files in the same directory as the one in the active window.
2010-04-0500 minVimcastsCleaning up with VimDo you have trouble cleaning up with your text editor? Does it cut through the toughest grease, grime and syntax errors? Are you burning your hands on too many hotkeys?
Try Vim - Extra whitening classic scourer. Vim gets the job done faster. Take short easy strokes for lemon fresh scripts. Fast, bold, Vim.
2010-04-0100 minVimcastsModal editing: undo, redo and repeatVim’s modal editing paradigm - the newbie killer - brings tremendous efficiency if only you can learn to work with it, rather than against it. This episode demonstrates how the undo and repeat commands can benefit from spending short bursts of time in insert mode.
