If anyone's wondering how to match only the word cat on its own, best way is to use word delimiters :%s/<cat>/dog/g

[tomasemilio]

Great, I would say that the g means `for every occurrence in a line` and the % means `for every line`.

Dammit, I have been using VI/VIM for decades and I didn't know about the confirmation OR the range command. I usually use the :g/pattern/ global command to find the lines I want changed. Thanks for the video

[vladsamsonov]

Thank you very much for what you are doing! Thanks to you, I fell in love with Vim! This is definitely the best channel on this topic, I advise everyone!

[anandmahamuni]

Also, Visual mode anything, and then to vim command line, auto selects the range u want to substitute

[eliacortesi]

You're an incredible "teacher"

[ungycxr]

Make one about find&replace only in visually selected part of the text (that's the one I always forget and need to look up)

[bastolarax]

This is nice but I would love to have fine grained control over the find and replace, using f{char} + * + <cw> dog + n + . I think?

[chriswoods]

I have come back to these shorts throughout my work day. Thank you for adding a brief statement about what the topic was in the title. Super helpful. Do you have a playlist for these shorts on the Vim commands we need to know?

Find/replace is one of the few things about vim that I find unintuitive compared to popular GUI editors, namely all of the extra regex escaping gets cumbersome. I know it makes it more like using re or rg in the terminal, but not a big fan of that either. I still sometimes open another editor when I have more than one or two complex regex replacements to perform.

[jamlie]

/gn also gets you how many times the thing you want is mentioned!

[joaquimdaponte]

Keep up the these tips, very helpful thank you sir
