This might be my new favorite vimism.
The idea that there is a single character shortcut for searching for the character under the cursor is brilliant, and something I will use, quite a bit, in my day to day work. It might be more powerful than tags.
Heya Adam,
* searches forward for the word under the cursor
# searches backward for the word under the cursor
Simply hit the character again to move to the next/previous occurence.
Thank you. I should have posted the wrong answer, as I would have gotten the right answer sooner. 🙂
