# Replace A Character
|
|
|
|
Throughout the day I'll often find myself deleting a single character and
|
|
putting a different one in its place. I usually navigate over the target
|
|
character and hit `s` which removes the character under the cursor and puts
|
|
me in insert mode. From there I type the new character and hit escape to
|
|
return to normal node. This isn't the best way to perform such an edit
|
|
though. Vim has a command specifically for replacing a character. The `r`
|
|
command. It does essentially the same thing as my current approach but
|
|
instead of putting me in insert mode, it simply replaces the character and
|
|
leaves me in normal node.
|
|
|
|
See `:h r` for more details.
