Start of Match

When searching or writing macros in Vim, it's sometimes helpful to have a search position your cursor at the end of the matching term rather than the beginning. You can use the start of match atom to accomplish this.

/some term\zs

This would match "some term" and position your cursor at the end of the match. See (help :regexp) for other atoms and general regexp goodness.

Delete Lines Matching Keyword

Neat little trick using the global ex command to remove all lines matching a given pattern.

:g/.*foo.*/d

Of course you can use any ex command at the end and you can put in whatever pattern you'd like.
