Ivan’s agile thinkings

Here are a few useful vi keystrokes I learned the other day (from colleagues and from the help system):

Searching without case-sensitivity – global switch:

:set ignorecase

Searching without case-sensitivity  – for a single pattern:

prefix the pattern with \c

Searching backwards:

? (rather than /)

Search again in the opposite direction:

N (rather than n)

Nothing too thrilling, but it makes using vi that little easier.
