Not really a request for help, but I was wondering if you guys ever use
the 's' command.
It's just a shortcut for 'cl', which I almost never need. Since I don't
assume it was put in to be complete or something, I'm intrigued by it's
enigmatic purpose. :)
Well, I use it when I want to replace a word that is for example 4 letters
long.
abcd efgh ijkl
Suppose I want to replace "efgh" with something else. I place the cursor at
the beginning of the word and type '4s'. The word disappears and ViM switches
to the insert mode.

Yes, I figured out that use, but isn't 'cw' always easier since you
don't have to count? And when you need to only replace part, like
replacing "abcd" in "abcdef", then I'd rather use 'cfd'.
Just my 2c of course.
