Lazy pinky workarounds
I have a tendency to keep my right pinky down on the shift key when typing :
to enter vim command mode. This causes my command to start with a capital letter, which is rarely useful. Besides focusing more on lifting it up more quickly I have configured vim to figure out what my intentions really are.
My most commonly misspelled commands are:
:Wa
which is intended to be:wa
- write all files:W
which is intended to be:w
- write current buffer:E
which is intended to be:e
- open a file
I’ve remapped the previous errored commands to be their intended targets by adding
to my ~/.vimrc
If you find this useful, all my dotfiles are public
