# will open file on line 5\nvim +5 \/folder\/file<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
start vim with the first occurence of a word (search in file)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
vim +:\/<searchterm> \/folder\/file<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

vim +:s\/<searchterm>\/<replaceterm>\/g \/folder\/file<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commands \/ usage inside veeam<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when vim is started it is not in deiting mode. to get into editing mode press “i”. now you can type. to go back to command mode press “ESC”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to enter a command press “:” in command mode. This will show “:” in the lower left corner. also a possible way to start this is “\/”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
vim command prompt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Here you can type different commands. commands can be combined<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:w -> saves file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:q -> quit file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:wq -> save and quit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:q! -> force quit (ex. if changes been made and you want to discard it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:s\/search\/replace\/ -> search and replace term in file. will only replace first occurence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:s\/search\/replace\/g -> g for global. will replace all occurences in file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:<linenumber> -> ex. :13 will jump to the 13th line in file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/term -> will search for “term” in the document and stop at the first occurence. to jump to the next found term press “n”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:set number -> this will show the line number at the beginning of the line<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:set nonumber -> will disable the line numbers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then vim has also commands which need no “:” or “\/” to enter commands. just input them while file is open to do something<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GG -> fo to last line in file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
