# Vim Cheat Sheet for Programmers
When I was learning Vim I wanted to know a few things:
* How are keys grouped by functionality?
* What keys are free to re-use?
* How do I set sane defaults for editing code?
## Screen (150 dpi)
## Print (600 dpi)
* [vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_print_600dpi.png](vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_print_600dpi.png)
The color coded Legend / Keys helps provide guidance for your experience level.

<title>Vim Cheat Sheat for Programmers by Michael Pohoreski</title>
<body>
<p>Update: Version 2.0 is up! There are now 4 versions to chose from:<br>
(If you are wondering what the differences are between the screen and print: the screen has less color variations, and no gradients to make it easier to read.)</p>
<!--
<p>Background: I couldn't find a good Vim cheat sheet that:
<ul>
<li>Listed all the useful Vim configuation/settings in one place that a programmer would be interested in using, and </li>
<li>Listed every Ctrl key combination so you could tell which keys were available for your own mapping(s).</li>
</ul>
Solution: So after looking at the Vim source, I made my own cheat sheet. The top half lists all the keys, the bottom half is organized by categories with bold entries designating common tasks. The red strike-out text above the keys show all the Ctrl keys that Vim doesn't recognize - you can't map Caps to your favorite command(s) for example.
</p>
-->
<ul>
<li>One designed for on-screen reading: <a href="vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_screen.pdf">PDF</a> (<a href="vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_screen.xlsx">Excel 2011 source</a>),</li>
<li>One designed for hard-copy reading: <a href="vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_print.pdf">PDF</a> (<a href="vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_print.xlsx">Excel 2011 source</a>),</li>
<li>One designed for monochrome printing: <a href="vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_bnw.pdf">PDF</a> (<a href="vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_bnw.xlsx">Excel 2011 source</a>), and</li>
<li>One designed for Red/Green color bindness -- a "Blue" theme <a href="vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_colorblind.pdf">PDF</a> (<a href="vim_cheat_sheet_for_programmers_colorblind.xlsx">Excel 2011 source</a>).</li>
</ul>
<p>The color coded Legend / Keys helps provide guidance for your experience level.<p>
<ul>
<li> <span style="background-color: #008000"><font color="#FFFFFF"> Green </font></span> = Essential </li>
<li> <span style="background-color: #FFFF00"> Yellow </span> = Basic</li>
<li> <span style="background-color: #FF8000"> Orange </span> / <span style="background-color: #0000FF"><font color="#FFFFFF">Blue</font></span> = Advanced</li>
<li> <span style="background-color: #FF0000"> Red </span> = Expert</li>
</ul>
<p>If you don't like this version (I'd love to hear why) try these, you may find them more to your liking...</p>

<br>
Vim has 4 <font color="#FF0000">bugs</font>...
<ul>
<li>Unable to map Caps lock key, Ctrl-1, Ctrl-Shift-1, Ctrl-Alt-Shift-1, etc. !</li>
<li>Unable to distinguish between TAB and Ctrl-I, ESC and Ctrl-[ ! Any _modern_ editor can tell the diffeence. It is not 1970 anymore people!</li>
<li><span style="background-color: #FFFF00">:set list</span> doesn't work for displaying all whitespace with a seperate character, i.e., listchars is missing an <span style="background-color: #FFFF00">whitespace:+</span> option.</li>
<li>The cursor movement keys <span style="background-color: #FFFF00">h j k l</span> are literally hard-coded throughout the source -- which also effects the netrw :Explore file browser. A user should be able to tell Vim what their 4 basic movement keys are, and ALL commands & Plugins should use THAT. The <font color="#00C0FF">PROPER</font> way to write code is to translate key presses into an enumeration, i.e. CMD_MOVE_UP, CMD_MOVE_DOWN, etc, and use THAT in your logic, NOT if (cmd == 'h') ....</li>
</ul>
Othe then that, Vim is a beautiful code editor!
