Let's see how MarkDown makes a differences
- I see visual mode is very thoughtful when you try to do some things uneasy to complete in normal mode.
- Command mode also gives a great hand when you are able to select the text range for editing.
- Take an example here, think if you want to insert one line of -- to play as an splinter for lines. How are you going to achieve this ?
In visual mode, you just use <Normal>yyp<VIsual>Vr-. This means to duplicate the line and select the whole line and replace all characters with -, hence generating the line spliter you want . - You are still binding to the mutiColumn editing way in notepad++ ? Thinking yourself hard to live without notepad++ ? Then try C-v in VIM to see how it would make you even faster .
- The other function should be consider is regular expression in notepad++, easy for searching and string replacing(I even use it to append specific strings in specific places for each line in notepad++ although finally I see vim could do to same in command mode with normal structions).
