LV4AD/Ch/03 Getting Around/04 Find Mode
- 3.5 Find Mode
f / F find on the current line; t / T for operator-friendly "To" targets1. What Keyshort enters Find mode forward on the current line, and 2. what Keyshort finds backward? card
- 1.
f then a character — highlights matches after the cursor (e.g. fs for letter s) - 2.
F (shifted) — same motion backward; also accepts a count prefix
1. How do you jump to the third highlighted s after fs, and 2. after overshooting with 18f, how do you step back three matches? card
- 1.
3f — count before f jumps to the Nth match; Find mode stays active for another guess - 2.
3F — backward count corrects an overshoot (e.g. three too far after 18f)
1. What does t do differently from f in Find/To mode, and 2. what does d2ts delete? card
- 1.
t lands before the target character — easier combined with change/delete operators than f on the char itself - 2.
d2ts — deletes from cursor up to (but not including) the second s ahead on the line
