In vim you should know at least to others: * and .

 *: Find all occurences of the word below the keystroke.
 .: Repeat the last action.

Used in combination for search and replace it's the most powerfull
invention, I have ever seen in editors.

Well you need to call gvim or vim -g to get the menu. Certainly not on a
remote machine.

Indeed. Eclipse has a lot of tools, buttons and menues. 90% of them hinder
me to quickly find the 10% I need. :-)
