Incremental search and replace in Vim

Because I rarely need it and forget it almost instantly, here’s how to incrementally search and replace text in Vim:

:%s/old/new/<strong>c</strong>

For each occurrence of old you’ll get asked whether to replace it with new and you can individually accept (y) or reject (n) the replacement.

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four 
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
