All right, so we discussed how to enter and exit them, but what I need to do next to discuss how to
move around within the document you're editing in Vim or the source code that you're writing and still
works the same regardless.
So as you can see here, my cursor is up on the top left next to the word this.
Now, if I wanted to move to the end of the sentence, OK, or basically append something to this,
I would type Capital A and that immediately puts me into insert mode.
Now, you have to keep in mind, and I'll keep stressing this for at least the first couple lessons
that you have to pay attention to what it says on the bottom left, where it says insert mode right
here.
That's really important because you want to basically use the editor, get into insert mode, edit and
then immediately get out of it.
So you want to spend as little time as you want insert mode.
When you're editing a document, when you're creating a document, you can be in insert mode and type
all you want, but still you want to get out of insert mode.
And how do you get out of insert mode is basically hitting Inkscape.
So that goes from the beginning of a sentence to the end of a sentence.
What if I wanted to go to the beginning of a sentence?
From the end I hit zero, the number zero.
So to go to the end capital A, OK, and then I'm going to get out of insert mode and then I hit zero.
And that gets me to the beginning of the sentence now, when you're navigating, use the H, J, K and
L, typically if you have an arrow key up, down, left, right, you can use that left, right, up
there.
You can also use that.
I find it usually easier just to use the arrow key when I'm doing some editing.
Now, if I wanted to move quickly within this sentence without going to the end, if I wanted to just
go and basically move two words at a time, I would hit to W to W to see how my cursor is going to words
at a time.
Two words, two w word is W so that shows you how to move within the sentence.
So again, I want to get back to the beginning of the sentence.
I'm going to hit the number zero on my not the number key but on the top.
I find if you use the number keys for some reason, depending upon your Linux version, if your num
lock isn't activated, it actually creates a lot of issues.
So let's say if I wanted to move three words or forwards, let's say four words, wanted to move to
the fourth word in a sentence for w see how and just move.
So whatever number and W moves to that word, the fourth word in the sentence.
OK, if I wanted to move I'll say we'll move back to the beginning.
If I wanted to move to the fourth word.
But the last character in that word it would be four E or actually it would be the fourth word, last
character to that.
So that would E is the end of the fourth word.
Does that make sense?
So W is would go over the fourth word, you would get you to the end of the fourth word.
OK, this will start to make sense the more and more you use it, so I recommend that you use it a lot.
So just keep navigating between the sounds, write up a sentence and VM and just navigate using zero
and then A, make sure you're out of Inkscape mode and then also use your cursor keys more.
You use them, the easier it is going to be for you to master it in the future.
