Vim Crash Course | How to edit files quickly in CKAD / CKA exam

Learn all the important basics and shortcuts to edit and navigate the files in Vim efficiently.
The goal of this video is to simplify and explain the keybindings of vim in a logical way that makes sense. So instead of memorizing all the shortcuts, I encourage you to understand the pattern of the vim key mappings. This will help you not only pick these shortcuts up quickly, but you will soon be able to experiment and discover some shortcuts on your own.

Which tool are you using to draw the content ?

[@ptalukder]

@FrontOps hello if you copy/yank block of code using visual block, how paste will work?

[@frontops]

It should work the same way. Just yank it, hit Esc and then hit `p` to paste it

[@Pradeep-xh9my]

Can I know when is your next video coming up? Eagerly waiting for your KT

[@frontops]

Thanks for the feedback Saipradeep. I am planning next videos, so hopefully soon.

How to indent multiple lines?

[@Pradeep-xh9my]

Why do I always get these errors "found character that cannot start any token" and "found a tab character that violates indentation". It is really frustrating. Could you please suggest whether we need to add something in vimrc. I always find it trouble to copy and paste something from documentation to yaml file. If I edit something, I am getting those above errors. I would really appreciate if you can answer my issues please.

[@anthosuname6668]

Hi what tool you using in this demo , it likes you handwritten notes ?

[@anandramasamy7251]

@frontops, during ckad exam kubectl autocomplete is enabled by default? Thanks in advance. Appreciate your response

[@frontops]

I don't exactly remember now. But will try to find this info and get back to you.

[@anandramasamy7251]

Thanks.@@frontops Its not enabled by default. I appeared for CKAD on 3rd jan and cleared.

Wow thanks for the info and congratulations!

[@ptalukder]

Hi @FrontOps I was trying to do visual block and do indentation for entire block or insert some word. But Unable to do so. CTRL+V put user to Visual block mode and then select by pressing j or k and then when I escape to do indentation doesn't do anything. What am I missing here.? I saw you inserted blah on entire block. Can u please write exact steps? By the way this is great video

[@frontops]

Hey Priti, so once you select the block with CTRL + V, just hit capital I, i.e. SHIFT + i. This will put in the Insert mode with the cursor just before the selection. That way you can enter the text. By the way you have to do this without pressing Esc, while you are still in Visual mode. But if you only want to indent the lines, select the lines using capital V, and hit >> (greater than symbol twice). Let me know if that helps.

[@ptalukder]

@@frontops Thanks a lot. It worked

[@frontops]

Awesome 👍

[@swapnilshinde1386]

Thanks for the video, it helps I want to insert the spaces before all lines how can I do that...

[@frontops]

Hey Swapnil, glad to know that it helped. In Visual Block mode, first select the first characters in each line by pressing `j` and then press capital `I` to enter in the insert mode. Now you can add anything before the cursor (including spaces). I cover visual block mode around 16:10. Let me know if that helps!

[@swapnilshinde1386]

@@frontops by pressing 'j' it will select the whole word. Unable to select the first character of an all line.

If I press Ctrl + v it will ask for copy paste. How to enter into visual block mode.

[@frontops]

Actually I just realized that this issue is specific to windows where CTRL+V conflicts with paste. Check out this Stack overflow link for the solution stackoverflow.com/questions/426896/vim-ctrl-v-conflict-with-windows-paste

Nice ! Can you please also tell about copy paste in vim

[@frontops]

Hey Prajakta, I do discuss copy paste actions in the Vim language section around 21:00

[@prajaktakhose9511]

@@frontops Yes, I missed it ! thanks !

[@prajaktakhose9511]

@The FrontOps Guy So y is for copy and p for paste. Does CKAD allow direct copy paste from doc to terminal/ yaml file ?

[@frontops]

@@prajaktakhose9511 yes correct, y is for copy and p is paste. It's not CKAD specific though. You can copy from outside and paste normally (CMD + v) in vim, but if you want to copy something within a file in vim and paste there itself, then normal way of copy paste won't work.
