+Basics 4
+
+- Open a line
+  To insert empty line below cursor and toggle insert mode type `o`
+  To insert empty line above cursor and toggle insert mode type `O`(capital o)
+- Append command
+  Normally when we insert text, its inserted before the cursor so in the word say `li`. If cursor at `i`. and we press i then type q then we have `lqi` so using 
+  `a` first cursor is moved one character right and then goes to insert mode so if after using `a` we type q, then we have `liq`.
+- Replace Mode
+ Toggled by `R`(capital R). if it is on word say `the` and cursor is at beginning ie `T` then when we type Say then it will become `Say` not SayThe.
+ NOTE: Replace mode is like Insert mode, but every typed character
+      replaces an existing character
+- Copy and paste
+  Highlight the text to be copied. We can do this by going to visual mode by pressing `v` and moving cursor to select text. Press Esc to escape visual mode. Press `y` to copy and `p` tp paste. 
+  y here stands for yank
+  p stands for put
+  
+- Set option
+  To alter some settings in nvim
+  when searching to ignore case type `:set ic` 
+  To turn off ignore case type `:set noic`
+  To toggle ignorecase setting `:set invic`
+  NOTE: If you want to ignore case for just one search command, use `\c`
+      in the phrase: `/ignore\c` 
+- Switch between windows
+  `<C-w><C-w>` means Ctrl+w 2 times
+  
+- Creating startup script
+Neovim is a very configurable editor. You can customise it any way you like.
+To start using more features create an "init.vim" file.
+  1. Start editing the "init.vim" file.
+
+     `:call mkdir(stdpath('config'),'p')`
+    `:exe 'edit' stdpath('config').'/init.vim'`
+  2. Write the file with:
+`:w`
+
+- Auto Completion
+  When typing any command to get the listed list of commands begining with whatever typed , press `<C-d>`. Now press `tab` to auto-complete it. 
+  Eg: If we type `:e` then pressing Ctrl+d witll list commands starting from `e` and pressing tab will autocomplete with first result
+- Switching between files
+  When u have opened nvim in folder and that folder contains some files then use the relative path to access them by
+  `:e main.c` or `:e Makefile`
+
