Vim - Command

To execute commands, you need to be in the normal mode

Many commands that change text follows this format:

[number] operator  [number] [motion]

where:

• [number] - is an optional count to repeat the operator
• operator - is what to do, such as d for delete
• [number] - is an optional count to repeat the motion
• [motion] - moves over the text to operate on, such as w for word, $ for the end of line, etc.

• d2w stands for delete 2 words.
• 3a!<Esc>. Added three exclamation points to the end of a line by typing
• 3x. Delete three characters
• 9k or 9 Mouse Up. Move up the cursor nine lines

• In normal mode
