We all edit. Coders really are just really smart typists right? We make mistakes. We edit other peoples stuff, we have brain farts. These tricks teach you to delete fast and accurate. Delete words or whitespace groups forward or backwards. I use this all the time. These are tricks you should add to you daily arsenal. Tricks that you can tease your friends about because they don’t know them. Especially the end of line delete next line white space trick in the video. Yeah. It’s that good!

This is a quick trick that I’ve started using the move my cursor to the last place, making a selection along the way. It’s kind of weird to explain in text without a 100 images. Video rules!!!

[CTRL]+[=] = Select from current cursor position to last Go Back marker.

To many files open. [ALT]+[TAB] works, but here is an alternative. I use this quite often, but there is a little tiny glyph update that I didn’t notice before. Acutally I have noticed it, I just didn’t register the fact that it changed once in a while. Now I know why. Do you?

These are great. I already knew the keyboard shortcuts, but I didn’t know the toolbar tricks. For once (this is unusual) the tool bar offers a tiny bit of visual help that superceeds the use of the keybaord only tricks. Confused? That’s why I like video. You will too. Watch video #41

[CTRL]+ [-] = Move Back

[CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[-] = Move Forward

It turns out that there are many many ways to use the Go To Line feature. This video uses a couple, as well as tried to uncover a mystery. I’m going to need your help with this one. Please leave comments if you know the answer.

What’s the question you ask?
