I know this looks stupid and simple, but I don't know the answer right now.
say I want to replace a word :
from:
abc 456
to:
123456
what I did is:
1. put my cursor in a, then cw123<esc>x , 7 strokes
2. put my cursor in b, then caw123<esc>, 7strokes
3. put my cursor in a, then dwi123<esc>, 7 strokes
it looks cw and dw behaves non-consistently, which I know is by the design.
I'm editing an old doc full of typos and spelling errors, etc, and I
need to do this quite often, does anyone knows of a
least-strokes-method (to protect my fingers) ?
How about one or more of the following approaches:
1. :s/<old>/<new>/g { or s/<old>/<new>/gc for interactive }
2. Do caw123<esc> and repeat further occurences with "." (dot)
3. Recording multiple common occurrences into multiple registers (say a,b,c)
and apply using (@a, @b, @c) {See :h recording}
For eg: qa/abc 456<cr>caw123<esc>q { You have now recorded abc to 123 transformation
into register a. Apply further occurences using @a (further hits can use @@) }. Of course,
if you do not want the search to be part of the macro, you can drop it.
