Vim - how to start pasting at the end of a file in one step

Question

Is there one shortcut to start pasting in a new line at the end of the file?

I know G + o combos.

Answer 1

There is also a + command line option:

 vim + myfile.txt

Open the myfile.txt file and make automatic G for you.

Answer 2

Adding the following to ~ / .vimrc will create it for you:

:nmap ^A Go 

To enter "^ A", first press Ctrl-V, then press Ctrl-A. Then you can use Ctrl-A to add at the end of the file if it is not in insert or render mode.

Answer 3

Not that I know - G + o is what I would suggest, but these are two steps :)

You can always create a macro that does G + o , and then you can call a macro that will be 1 step.

Answer 4

You can embed the map definition in your .vimrc and then call it when you open the file.

Or, if you want to do this only for a specific file, you can create autocmd for this type of file that does this automatically. See autocommand in vim docs.

Answer 5

 echo >> myfile.txt && vim -c 'startinsert' + myfile.txt 

You can also save the above command in a script and then use $ 1 instead of myfile.txt, name your script myvim (or whatever) and always open your files and start writing right away.

 myvim myfile.txt
