I recently discovered an Ex Reference Manual and decided to explore Vim’s colon prompt for a bit. I discovered some interesting things that I didn’t know. First a few of the basics:
You can delete line 33 like so:
:33d
You can delete lines 10-15 like so:
:10,15d
You can indent or unindent lines with > and <:
:12,42>
Most of the things you can do with sed, you can do from the ex prompt.
