# nvim
> Neovim, a programmer's text editor based on Vim, provides several modes for different kinds of text manipulation.
> Pressing `<i>` in normal mode enters insert mode. `<Esc>` or `<Ctrl c>` goes back to normal mode, which doesn't allow regular text insertion.
> See also: `vim`, `vimtutor`, `vimdiff`.
> More information: <https://neovim.io>.
- Open a file:
`nvim {{path/to/file}}`
- Enter text editing mode (insert mode):
`<Esc><i>`
- Copy ("yank") or cut ("delete") the current line (paste it with `<p>`):
`<Esc>{{<y><y>|<d><d>}}`
- Enter normal mode and undo the last operation:
`<Esc><u>`
- Search for a pattern in the file (press `<n>`/`<N>` to go to next/previous match):
`<Esc></>{{search_pattern}}<Enter>`
- Perform a regular expression substitution in the whole file:
`<Esc><:>%s/{{regular_expression}}/{{replacement}}/g<Enter>`
- Enter normal mode and save (write) the file, and quit:
`{{<Esc><Z><Z>|<Esc><:>x<Enter>|<Esc><:>wq<Enter>}}`
- Quit without saving:
`<Esc><:>q!<Enter>`
