Should also mention:

  gg - top of file
  G - end of file
  5gg - go to line 5 (I find this easier than 5G)
  ciw - delete current word and enter insert mode
  yiw - copy current word
  zz - center cursor (its also nice to remap G to Gzz etc)

View on HN

one of these can be shortened: cw - deletes the current word & enters insert mode

Not quite: cw deletes until the end of the current word from the current position and then enters insert mode. ciw deletes the entire your current position is in and enters insert mode. Go ahead and try them.

Apparently yiw can be shortened to yw as well
