English mnemonics to Vim's shortcuts

I realize that Vim's main author is Dutch, so I'll settle for those as well. I'm interested, do Vim's "control keys" have equivalents in the english language? You know, Ctrl-O for Open, Ctrl-N for New and so on.

Some of Vim's "control keys" could be assigned some meanings

(a) append / (i) insert
(w) word / b (back one word)

These are just those that I thought off the top of my head.

Do they all have some meaning (:e ?)

I find it much easier to remember them if I know they mean something; they're not just randomly used keys.


a: append or around

b: before

c: change

d: delete

e: edit

f: find

g: go

h: left

i: insert or in

j: down

k: up

l: right

m: mark

n: next

o: open a new line

p: put or paste

q: (quote/record keystrokes to the register indicated by the next character)

r: replace

s: substitute

t: toward

u: undo

v: enter visual mode

w: word (move right one word at a time)

x: (delete (or x-out) a single character)

y: yank

z: fold, it's visual, it looks like a folded sheet of paper


Some do. Check out this cheatsheet, it has a lot of mnemonics:

Some of the more obvious ones:

  • y = yank
  • c = change
  • O = over
  • f = find
  • r = replace
  • u = undo
  • t = unTil character

  • My mnemonic for ^ (go to beginning of line): ^ looks like a roof, roof symbolizes home. Home key moves your cursor to the start of line/document.

    Look at ADM-3A keyboard layout: the Home key is used to print ^ and ~ symbols.
