vim/Keyshort/Indent

• Keyshort vim vim/Keyshort
  • Shift Text Left or Right Card
    • Shortcut: > right, < left
    • Description: Shifts the visual selection by one shiftwidth. In normal mode they need a motion, so >> and << shift the current line.
  • Keep the Selection After Shifting Card
    • Shortcut: > then > again in visual mode
    • Description: LazyVim remaps visual < and > to <gv and >gv, so the selection survives the shift and the key can be repeated without reselecting. Vanilla Vim drops the selection after one shift.
  • Re-indent to the Language's Rules Card
    • Shortcut: = with a motion
    • Description: Applies the filetype's indent rules to the motion's range, fixing structure without reformatting content. Different from <leader>cf, which runs a real formatter.
  • Re-indent the Current Paragraph Card
    • Shortcut: =ip
    • Description: = over the ip "inner paragraph" text object — the block of non-blank lines around the cursor.
  • Re-indent the Entire File Card
    • Shortcut: gg=G
    • Description: Jumps to the first line, then re-indents from there to the last. Reads as three ordinary commands composed: gg move, = operator, G motion.
  • My Note
    • = uses equalprg or the filetype indent plugin, so on a file with no indent support it falls back to lisp-style indenting and can do more harm than good. Reach for LazyVim/Keyshort/Code Action <leader>cf when a real formatter is configured.
