Deleting Words in Vim
As a recent vim convert, I learn new commands everyday from my fellow rocketeers. Here's some cool ones for deleting words:
-
Use
dw
to delete word. Cursor placement is important! If your cursor is not on the first character, it will only delete from your cursor to the end of the word. -
Use
diw
to delete inside word. Deletes the entire word that your cursor resides in. -
Use
dt<char>
to delete to character. Deletes from your cursor to the specified character.
