Search for the next and or previous occurrence of the word under your cursor with `*` and `#`.
|
|
|
|
Search and replace the first 'one' found with 'two':
|
|
|
|
`:%s/one/two/`
|
|
|
|
Run the last substitution globally:
|
|
|
|
`g&`
|
|
|
|
Same, but just replace 'one' globally:
|
|
|
|
`:%s/one/two/g`
|
|
|
|
Put quotes around every occurrence of `$HOME`:
|
|
|
|
`:%s/$HOME/"&"`
|
|
|
|
Same, but add curly brackets around `$HOSTNAME`:
|
|
|
|
`:%s/$HOSTNAME/{&}`
|
