Great vid. Learned some new tricks. I was hoping to "map" ^x^p to a function key (F7), however in insert mode it just inserts . Would have been great. I may have to use macro keys of my keyboard... Anyways, thank you very much sir!

You have to use :inoremap, as in "(i)nsert mode (no)n (re)cursive (map)ping". If you don't put the "i" you're only mapping for normal, visual and select modes by default.

you can yank text objects into registers by pressing “y. There are also the special registers * and + that allow you to copy and paste from your clipboard with “*y and “*p. You’ve probably figured it out by now but hopefully anyone else can learn something new

That's like saying that people learning programming shouldn't write hello world programs. They should just open up a Word document and type "Hello World!" because it's easier. The point is to show a concept in a simple context so that you can use it for longer strings of text with symbols and other obscure characters to type.

I love hitting ctrl-x, ctrl-] to autocomplete a tag name in my project. Just kidding, it's terrible, Vim is inefficient by design and forces you to learn how to glue lots of nasty little commands together like these to try to be efficient. Sure you could use a modern IDE that does all of this for you with intellisense, but that wouldn't give you carpal tunnel from vim commands, so maybe it's not worth it.
