But I think that this is a bit too much information to print on a mug. If you had nicely printed 6"x8" cards (on thick glossy card stock), then they would get pinned to my cubicle wall. Also, it's much cheaper to post cards to people that want them. Save the coffee cup for your company logo, a URL, and a snappy slogan that says what you do. Cheers, Stu.

Some offen use "xp" to transpose two characters, etc. I would delete the hjkl (the arrow keys work well except in emergencies); the "I" (same as "^i" - or "0i"); also H,M,L; and I never seem to use "P" because a cursor move and a "p" works just as well. I like :q! rather than :x, and use :w! sometimes to write read only system files (so long as I'm root...) I use these a lot: f Move cursor to next character t Move cursor to just before next character dw delete word cw change word (use the above with a "count" and use "W" instead of "w" sometimes). "J" for joining lines. The "." command is very handy indeed for repetative work - adding the same text to the start/end of most (but not all) lines in the file, etc. Finally I cut my teeth on vi and never heard of the vim "v" and "V" commands! No more counting characters or lines for me! Trouble with vi cheat sheets (or the great thing) is that everyone has their own favourite commands.
