I'm trying to learn Vim and I'm seeing a lot of documentation use syntax like
<C-v>
. Is there a general guide on how to read this correctly?
I've attached an example SO post below that uses this syntax:
Vim multiline editing like in sublimetext?
Do yourself a favor by droping the Windows compatibility layer. The normal shortcut for entering Visual-Block mode is
<C-v>
.
2Are you asking about how you would read the directions out loud in English, or about what key(s) it is instructing you to press? – cjm – 2015-08-13T21:21:28.413
Shameless plug: If you're interested in Vim, checkout the [vi.se] sister site. – muru – 2015-08-14T06:24:11.713
