Parameter Description
- [range]: Indicates the range of rows to be moved
- {address}: Indicates the target position of the movement, both of these parameters can be defaulted

Parameter Description：
- [range]：Indicates the range of lines to be copied, where copy can be abbreviated as :co or :t
- {address}：Indicates the destination of the copy. Both of these parameters can be defaulted to indicate the current line where the Vim cursor is located.
For example: [:5copy.] means to copy line 5 of the file currently opened by Vim to the current line (indicated by .), that is, to create a copy of line 5 and place it below the current line.
The subscript lists some examples and uses of file copy using the abbreviation t of the copy command, which is used to understand the purpose of the copy command copy.

The document is encrypted. When you open the file, you will be prompted to enter the password twice in the lower left corner of the screen before you can operate. After saving the file and exiting, you must enter the normal password to open the file correctly, otherwise garbled characters will be displayed.
vim -x {filename} # Enter the encryption password and confirm the password again. Note: Save the content without modifying it, otherwise the password setting will not take effect
:X # Enter the encryption password in command mode and confirm the password again. Note: Save the content without modifying it, otherwise the password setting will not take effect
:set key=password # Enter the encryption password in command mode and confirm the password again. Note: Save the content without modifying it, otherwise the password setting will not take effect
Document decryption, set decryption by command mode.
:X # In command mode, directly press Enter to indicate that the password is empty. Note: Save the content without modifying it, otherwise the decryption setting will not take effect
:set key= # Set the key password to be empty in command mode. Note: Save the content without modifying it, otherwise the password setting will not take effect
Macro is the function of recording and playback. It is an integration of a series of Vim command operations. Using macros can achieve a lot of repetitive work.
qa # Start recording the macro named a
q # End recording macro
@a # Play the macro named a
@@ # Play the previous macro
@: # Repeat the last ex command (colon command)
Macro example：You need to type a Tab key at the beginning of the following multi-line text to indent the beginning of the line.
set nu
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4
set autoindent
set wrap
syntax on
- Move the cursor to the first line first.
- In Normal mode, press the q key and a letter to start recording. For example, press qa to register the macro as a.
- Press I to insert at the beginning of the line, and press Tab in edit mode. Press to return to Normal mode.
- Press the j key to move the cursor to the next line.
- Press the q key to finish recording.
- Using the macro a recorded above, press @a to play the macro named a.
- Move the cursor to the second line in Normal mode, press @a, and use macro a again.
- Press N@a for multiple operations, where N is a positive integer, which means that the macro is executed N times. For example, move the cursor to line 3, operate macro a on the remaining 5 lines, and press 5@a.
The above recording macro, using macro two common operations, complete the beginning of multiple lines of text, type a Tab key to indent the beginning of the line!

Vim register classification
| Register name | Citation method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Unnamed register | "" | The default register, all copy and modify operations (x, s, d, c, y) will copy the data to the unnamed register |
| Named register | "a - "z or "A - "Z | {register} can only be one of 26 English letters, from a-z, A-Z register contents will be merged into the corresponding lowercase letters |
| Copy special register | "0(Number 0) | Only when the copy operation (y) is used, the data will be copied to the unnamed register and the copy special register at the same time |
| Numbered register | "1 - "9 | All data without ranges ('(',')','{','}') and operations involving more than 1 line of delete and modify operations (x, s, d, c) will be copied to the stepwise temporary cache register , And when new data is added, it progresses step by step. The data of 1 is copied to 2, 2 to 3, and the contents of the last 9 registers will be deleted |
| Black hole register | "_ | Almost all the data involved in the operation will be copied to the register. If you want the data to be operated not to pass through the register, you can specify a black hole register. The data will disappear when the register arrives, and it cannot be displayed and does not exist. |
| System clipboard | "+ or "* | When interacting with the GUI external to Vim, you need to use a special system clipboard |
| Expression register | "= | The most special one of all registers is used to calculate expressions. After entering the register application, it will prompt "=" in the command line, enter the expression as needed, and the result will be displayed at the cursor |
| Other registers | - | - |
Note: Vim configuration files are available in global and user versions, and user configuration files take precedence over global system configuration files.
