Package:Vim/Cheatsheet

• The description given in the "description" column is rather short, often it is best to try it your self and see what it actually does.
• Even if not specified in the "command" column, most commands fired in normal mode accept a "<num> prefix" (Eg. `5w` is equivalent to `wwwww`).
• Most commands will work in visual mode as well as in normal mode.
