Notes from my February NoVA Vim presentation on marks, jumps and registers. Mostly just a list of suggested :help sections to read.

marks.vim

"These lines map a hotkey that allow you to easily execute the current line or
"selection by hitting F9. It's a cheesy hack that made demoing while reading
"through this more simple.
"
"This is also why commands start with colons. Normally colons would be
"unnecessary if trying to execute these in your vimrc.
:nnoremap <F9> "ayy@a
:vnoremap <F9> "ay@a

"Marks {{{
:help mark
"use ' to jump to right char as it's easier to type
:nnoremap ` '
:nnoremap ' `

"Special marks:
"last changed text
:help `[
"visual SELECTION
:help `< 
"last jump
:help ``

"next lowercase mark

"swap highlighted text with last deleted text
"This one isn't working right sometimes; have to debug
:vnoremap <C-x> <Esc>`.``gvP``P

"gp selects code that was just pasted in the visual mode last used
:nnoremap <expr> gp  '`[' . strpart(getregtype(), 0, 1) . '`]'
