VimTips: The highest ratio of how frequently used per day to how many years it took me to discover goes to
Ctrl + n
autocomplete from top-k most frequent words (in current doc/buffer). Once you get an intuition for how much prefix you need, a big time saver (for people that can't type like me)

🧠 Avoid the rage of accidental file loss in vim:
Just add this to your .vimrc:
‣ set backup
‣ set backupdir=~/.vim/backups//
Now Vim quietly saves backups in the background.
You can still swear… but now it’s optional. 😅

VimTips: Vim's visual block selection is great for slice operations in tables or stuff aligned across many lines
Ctrl+v and now selection only happens from cursor's column. You can select one or more columns of tables, cut (d) and paste (p) them elsewhere in the table (or elsewhere)

VimTips: Ok I keep giving the most long tail / weird ones, but I just used this: You can visual select and pipe to bash scripting. The output will overwrite your visual selected chunk
v <up/down> to select
!while read x;do echo "$x";done
Here we just replace with the same as an example.

:windo set diff opt+=iwhite
to ignore indentation when diffing. Useful when change is just a localized new "if" but the new indenting of the code show changes everywhere
