What is your Linux/Vim cheat sheet?

Question

As a Windows user, I found it difficult to master the Linux and Vim commands.

So are there some cheat sheets to look them up into quickly?

Answer 1

:help

and

man man

is always a good start

Answer 2

Oh, and always navigate using H, J, K and L. That will get you in the best of habits.

Answer 3

Here are some that I have bookmarked from back in the day:

• Vim Commands Cheat Sheet
• Graphical vi-vim Cheat Sheet and Tutorial
• The Vim commands cheat sheet - 1.1

The Linux commands cheatsheets:

• Unix/Linux Command Cheat Sheet
• Practical cheatsheet
• Linux-Unix cheat sheets - The ultimate collection

Answer 4

I have used this one (PDF) from http://tnerual.eriogerg.free.fr/vim.html and it's quite extensive and useful.

Another good one is this at: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html. It has a little extra information about the commands.

Answer 5

I've always found that the best "cheatsheet" for vim is in the docs themselves:

:help toc
:help holy-grail
:help index

They're cross-referenced, and easily searchable.

For linux, the apropos command can be useful - it searches through all the manpages for a term that you give it. You can then use man to look further.

Answer 6

Here is one about vi (or Vim) I bookmarked:

Answer 7

A blog dedicated to Vim where I have found some nice gems, "Daily Vim: Text Editor Tips, Tricks, Tutorials, and HOWTOs": http://dailyvim.blogspot.com/.

Answer 8

The URL says it all http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/100-vim-commands-every-programmer-should-know

Answer 9

vimtutor is a good starting point for Vim beginners.

Vim documentation is pretty self-sufficient.

And Linux is not a command.

Answer 10

I've this one in my bookmarks. Very good to print it out.

Answer 11

Pretty lame but I tend to use history a lot.

history | grep 'part_of_the_command_i_still_remember_here'

For VIM I use : with the arrow keys a lot for older commands.

This is often faster as looking it up in some cheat sheet for me.
