Daily Vim: Text Editor Tips, Tricks, Tutorials, and HOWTOs: Delete to End of Page

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

Typing `dL' in normal mode will delete to the end of the current page. In other words, everything visible to the bottom of the window.

dG, which I use more commonly deletes to the end of the file. dL deletes from your cursor location to the end of what's visible in the current window.; January 14, 2009 at 7:27 AM

If you've got 'scrolloff' set then things might be slightly different.
