As much as I love TextMate, I've come to realize the folly of being tied to one commercial OS on the basis of an editor. I considered going all-in on VSCode, but if I'm going to switch editor after 20 years, I'd like it to be my last change. Vim will be here and free in 100 years

If you have the jq command github.com/jqlang/jq installed, you can use it to format JSON in Vim!
On the line where you have a large JSON object:
{ "foo": { "bar": { "foo_id": null, "bar_id": 98765, "baz_id": 12345 } } }
Run:
:.!jq .
Vim bang operator/cmd: :h !

= is the filter operator (by default it indents). If you want to indent the entire buffer, run:
gg=G
- gg goes to the top
- =G indent operator all the way to the bottom
Use `` to go back to the original location.
Try: gg=G``

If you use fugitive.vim, you can use git grep to use a keyword in a specific branch / SHA
:Ggrep MY_FOO some-branch
:Ggrep MY_FOO some-sha
Useful if you want to see if / how a text looks like in a different branch
:h :Ggrep

Last time we looked at :vimgrep to search for keywords.
:vimgrep /Waffles/ app/**/*.rb
To add more results into your last search, you can use :vimgrepa. To also search for Pancakes:
:vimgrepa /Pancakes/ app/**/*.rb
Now you have a list of Waffles AND Pancakes.

When you pass multiple file names when you run Vim from the terminal (vim bar.rb foobar.lua), Vim stores those files inside the argument lists, which you can access with
:args
You can navigate through the argument lists with :next, :prev, :first, :last.
:h arglist
