YouCompleteMe vim extension: How to jump to next error

Btw, if you want to delete a sentence you can use the sentence forward motion like this:

d)i.

Meaning, deleting the sentence including the period and then inserting it again.

d/\. is necessary, if you want to delete multiple lines and there is a non-text document context, e.g. empty lines in between text and you really want to delete to the next period.

If the period is on the same line, you can just use the till-before motion: dt.

Typing

:normal d/\.^M

(Ctrl+V + Enter at the end)

works for me.

But I have to say that I don't understand the need for :normal.

I mean, using

:map <F10> d/\.<CR>:noh<CR>

the search starts at the position where the cursor is located and ends at the next period.

In addition to uprego's answer, you can press Ctrl+G (in normal mode) to get the current buffer's name as well as the total number of lines in it and your current position within it.

Update

As per rxdazn's comment, you can press 1 before Ctrl+G to get the full file path. If you press 2, you get the full file path and the buffer number you currently have open (useful when you have opened multiple files with vim).
