# General

Better Vim comes with lots of slick defaults. Here is a complete list of common mappings that you may need:

* `ctrl + s` : Save file
* `leader + eb` : Open your neovim config file (`better-vim.lua`)
* `leader + ev` : Open Better Vim default config file
* `leader + sv` : Reload the neovim config
* `leader + cl` : Clear searching highlights
* `ctrl + /` : Toggle comment line (in normal mode) or block (in visual mode)
* `ctrl + n` : Toggle File Explorer
* `leader + p` : Paste over a selection without losing the last copied text
* `leader + o` : Go to older cursor position
* `leader + i` : Go to newer cursor position
* `leader + q` : When `nvim-tree` is opened, it closes the buffer without closing the window

## Only available in Visual Mode

* `shift + j` : Move selected text one line down
* `shift + k` : Move selected text one line up

**Tip:** You can use `shift + v` to select the whole line and enter Visual Mode at the same time.

## Navigation

* `ctrl + h`, `j`, `k` or `l` : Navigate
  between buffers

## Tabs

* `alt/option` + tab number (e.g `1`) : Navigate to a specific tab

<Warning>
  If you're using iTerm2 the mapping above will not work due some limitations with the iTerm2 built in mappings.
</Warning>

To customize mappings for tabs, check the [custom mappings](/mappings/custom-mappings#creating-mappings-for-tabs) documentation page.
