jadelennoxI consider myself a vi power user, but after all these years there is still a ton I have to learn. Introducing the blog The Daily Vim, syndicated at ![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
dailyvim_feed. It's not even remotely daily (which is good -- it means I have time to learn its various tricks between posts) but it is handy for all kinds of editing and command line tricks. For example Easier command line editing teaches us this bash trick:
Start typing on the command line and then type Ctrl-x Ctrl-e, it should drop you into your system's default editor (hopefully Vim) and allow you to edit the command line from there. Once finished, save the command line, and bash will run the command.
Doesn't help me, because I'm a tcsh user, but I'm contemplating making the big switch back to bash.
