Basically my question is this. On my terminal I have vi mode enable. It saves me lots of time editing command line arguments and zooming throught the file system. I would like to have a similar mode enabled in the vim command mode. Chief reason being is regular expressions for my code. s/ / / commands can get quite tedious and having a vi-like mode for editing commands would be awesome.

Also if this is not a recommended modifcation, does anyone have recommendations for plugins which make s/ / / usage more speedy and efficient?

Thanks for your help

  • You can change the default mapping of <c-f> by setting 'cedit'. See :h 'cedit' for more help.
