syntax enable
filetype plugin indent on
"""" Tab settings
set tabstop=4 " width that a TAB character displays as
set expandtab " convert TAB key-presses to spaces
set shiftwidth=4 " number of spaces to use for each step of (auto)indent

Great shortcuts, thank you!

[@Redyf]

Those are some useful keybinds, thanks!

[@shuncho7844]

Thank you so much, its really nice to use vscode functionality with the vim keybindings

[@jrodericklane]

Something is very wrong with the audio. Almost makes me nauseous.

[@freyappari]

yeah it's so odd

[@exshenanigan2333]

I can't seem to delete something, without copying it to my clipboard. I tried passing _ before doing dd or a number like 1dd, 2dd but no matter what I tried, it just keeps replacing my clipboard, so if I copy something, move to somewhere else to replace something with the copied text, I just can't. What's the solution to this?

[@danielmalka6824]

very helpful !!!! very very very very very very very (using macros now thanks to you!)

[@tylerlaprade642]

Ctrl+W and Ctrl+T are doing the default VSC shortcuts (switch windows and switch tabs, respectively) for me instead of the Vim behavior if I'm in the first tab of my tab group. In any of the other tabs, they do the regular Vim shortcut. How can I fix this?

[@wogvorph]

Hey, with TAB enabled how do I fill auto suggested code while typing?

[@6ocram]

Thanks

[@gbvtech]

tried setting up a vimrc file with just a value of `set relativenumber` but it does not work, any idea why?
